Excellent Radiohead interview from Jonathan Dean in The Sunday Times. www.thetimes.com/culture/musi...

Mad that BBC4 is showing the Mercury on such a time delay. Why? How is this going to revive it? I wonder who it could be? Tsk, etc.

Happy London Film Festival booking day to all who celebrate. May you receive a low booking number in the queue.

A run-up like that followed by a penalty like that will always be Del Boy at the bar comedy gold.

Fancy a long read on one of the most oddly overlooked best-sellers? Here’s the oral history of No Parlez, with Paul Young, Pino Palladino, Laurie Latham AND The Fabulous Wealthy Tarts.

Arsenal fans no doubt still going all in on the St Totterinngham’s Day Trophy.

Hiya. I've lost a sizeable chunk of work. Commissioning me to write you some words would be very helpful right now - I'll do anything on rock, metal and alternative culture, issues in the world of music, and I write bios too. Find me at emmabwilkes at gmail dot com.

I didn’t see this coming, but this is fabulous news. One of the funniest corners of the PSB canon.

Solbakken was Wolves manager when we beat them in the FA Cup when we were non-league in 2012. Petty sod certainly knows how to bear a grudge.

@skipcollins.bsky.social Hi Skip. A random question - are you the Skip who was previously singer in Hohokam, please? (I’m trying to track that Skip down for a magazine feature.) Sorry if it’s not you!

Minimum wage for a 9-5 full time job (40 hours a week) is, as of today, £25,396 a year for anyone over 21. Which is why it's amazing to see journalism jobs requiring a degree, job experience, and driving licence advertised at a "competitive salary" of £22,380. tindlenews.co.uk/careers/jour...

I agree with Becky Hill about Jack Whitehall’s snobbery here. Having him as Brits host is indicative that the music industry has no real qualms about freezing out working-class talent.

My dad recently found some band tees I left behind when I moved out in 1993. He now does the gardening in a Beastie Boys tee that I suspect is worth ££££, but he’s 83 and the image is worth every penny.

@ladymissbarton.bsky.social Hey. Dunno if you’d be fussed, but your Twitter has been hacked by some spam account, Out Of Topic. You’re now posting random clickbait memes, fwiw!

Does Martin Keown think You Can’t Always Get What You Want is an Oasis song?

If anyone wants me, I’ll be singing the name of Wolves’ new signing Nasser Djiga to the tune of Machadaynu from Look Around You by @robertpopper.bsky.social for the rest of the day. Thanks a lot, Wolves. Tholves.

If you get the chance, see Frankie Monroe live. I could wang on about performance art, clowning, the death of the working men’s club. Really, though, he’s silly. And right now, we need silly.

With all the great advances in technology, the one that makes me go “Woah, amazing!” the most is the moving album sleeves on Apple Music.

Big love to Only Child on iPlayer by Bryce Hart, starring Gregor Fisher and Greg McHugh, the best “Not as gentle as it seems” sitcom since Mum. Every line sings, and there are so many supposedly smaller characters with a vivid energy.

Julian Dicks from the penalty spot. No mind games. No strategy. Just pure violence.

I for one never doubted our starting line-up and formation.

I bet there's a good story behind that gaffer tape.

The most insane good luck charm in football history worked.

This is a joyous thread. I laughed a lot.

Strong recommend for the final of BBC New Comedy Awards. The first comic isn’t for me, but the other five are all great - I’d love to see three of them live. Last year’s winner, Frankie Monroe, is the closest we’ve had to Reeves & Mortimer in ages.
