glad that the Cameron Winter album is being counted in the end of 2025 lists what with having been released too late for the Best of 2024 lists

Happy No, Loveless Was Released In The UK TODAY Day to everyone who celebrates

It charted w/c November 17 and so was released in the UK on November 11. The November 4 date relates to its first release in Japan. It would not have come out the same week as Bandwagonesque and then have hung around for another week before charting. Thank you.

and he never gives it to charity

I'm looking forward to getting my babygay chum into Velvet Underground

Some good news on a grey Monday... Also, fuck that raggedy ass loser...she should tend to her own house and leave the gays alone.

hiya. bit thick here, but what's the dimensions I need for some good stackable album storage boxes. I want a multibuy deal possibly cheaper than shelves for my Pop Allotment* (*storage space) I saw one place that does ten for £50 which for a mum on a budget sounds great, but am wary they're shit

Here I am talking about Five and Max Martin, while wearing a Steps jumper. If you want to read more about all this you can in my award-winning Reach For the Stars, which has been out for a while now but doesn't age, much like J from Five: amzn.eu/d/aHIvklx

I think there's been a bit too much focus and pandering to these people now. 'legitimate concerns' 'silent majority' 'both sides' etc. Fuck 'em. Never known such a bunch of absolute fucking arseholes playing the victim and demanding everyone dances to their fucking tune. Fight fire with fire.

I suspect Taylor has issued another variant of her underwhelming album otherwise Rosalia would currently be midweek Number 1

good lord

Super! Yes. Please.

fucker ran out of people to throw under the bus

Wow! Just discovered a high-quality recording of Kraftwerk performing Autobahn live on the Midnight Special in 1975. Watch it here 🚘📺▶️ youtu.be/UYi30uTkYHU?...

Vernon Kaye telling a quiz contestant "Don't let your mates know you got that right" when answering a question about Steps right was fucking shitty. I'm of a mind to complain. What an unnecessary homophobic comment. Steps should also tell Radio 2 to fuck off next time they're asked to do an event.

Alright sausages. I’m going to be at Foyles for their Christmas evening EVENT on the 28th and I’ll be playing some festive tunes (sort-of DJing rather than on spoons). Come!

soundcloud.com/tony-morris-... a couple of weeks ago I did something that people said needed vocals. I asked Tony nicely. at 105 bpm it more than meets the international standards to be categorised as a slow pumper and someone said it sounded quite sleazy

Well 'ard

re: Bake Off final. I think it is time that Noel Fielding stopped wearing skinny jeans. He has the look of a Landfill Indie Max Wall.

I had no idea this existed until today. What an economical collection of just the hits. Also though, the artwork and graphics are PEAK 1975 Top of the Pops. Plus: £1.

that will and grace lady seems normal

oh btw the remix of this with the rulers that was on the original cassette single and some of the 12s (same cat no as the first version - the clots) is on the NOW 12x1985 Part 2 comp

This is amazing news. I might become a music teacher myself, as mine got me into amazing stuff.

Wrote about brain fog - a common side effect of chemo treatment that ends up feeling like scrolling social media for hours with no end in sight. Written last week - today feels more optimistic thanks to Zohran Mamdani and his brilliant speech. Thanks for reading! open.substack.com/pub/acloudab...

Amazon service error on the Kylie Christmas single is homophobia

Just put my new riso printed festive cards on my shop. 2 new designs in pink, blue and green. 3 cards in each pack along with recycled envelopes. petefowlershop.com/buy/pete-fow...

This could actually beat The Wham! Groop

remembering Lovelessgate.

Cor.

Mmh is possibly code

Someone over on the WAFR account just referred to Altern 8 as a Diet KLF and I did a lol

Tom.

I thought Alistair from Home In The Country had had a breakdown but he lives off grid apparently.

I’ve written about Robert Elms’ Blitz book for @thequietus.com thequietus.com/culture/book...

(I can’t believe ABBA released both the album AND single of Super Trouper on the same day but evidence suggests so)

There’s a brief explanation in the description of my Spotify playlist. open.spotify.com/playlist/5Yg... I should probably have written it up as an article somewhere but the moment may have passed.

These American radio responses to Paul Young's single Some People are so desperate and amazing

The singer of Blue Zoo runs mushroom foraging outings. Or at least he did when I went on one. His site is fungitobewith.

I would come for Bob Peck

Narcissistic, perhaps, but could any American viewers leave a review of my book on Amazon.Com because the top one is a shitty deranged one star hit-job www.amazon.com/1984-Year-Po...

“Calling all cars. This is Phil talking. I need someone to cover Late Nite Minicab FM tonight. Gonna be busy!”

A new book by Robert Elms returns the reader to a bygone London of squats full of future popstars and cans of Red Stripe to recall the nightclub that birthed #SpandauBallet and #Visage and might just have invented the future Blitz: The Club That Created the Eighties buff.ly/8qW9QLM
