See, young 'uns - Coworker music existed in the 1990's, too #totp

It's also amazing that Claire and H didn't get all hench, given how much they carried that group. #totp

It's time for the "Remember Lee Latchford-Evans shit metal band? No? Not surprised" bit of the week #totp

Not Darlington, but this is the men's where I work, two toilets and a shower and two of the doors have fallen off, not fixed for months. But obviously the issue is trans people using changing rooms and not the fact that the NHS lacks resources for basic maintenance

you can make the 'a vote for labour is a vote for farage' argument in a vote splitting sense now the greens are doing so well if you like, but it is also true in the more immediate sense of them having the same fucking politics

The level of talent, imagination, or frankly brainpower in our political class is truly staggeringly low sometimes. No wonder we’re in such a mess 😭😅😅🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️😫

Gah!! That existential "Am I worth this much and even if I am, do other people think I am?" dread of the freelancer.

Does anyone out there knows about the SBC1190 from Micro/sys? I picked one up to tinker with. I've made a com port cable but what I really need is how to make a run/load cable so I can access the bios and flash the firmware. #oldtech #sbc #dos #pc104

Here it IS!! Really loving how the production sounds on Ds drums. It's going to slay live! youtu.be/Oit9vIcJmmk?...

I have good news for Americans enjoying freakouts on X - we are now nine years into our most famous city being run by a friendly Muslim guy and the far right are still incapable of being normal about it even for a single day

So, the punk band I'm in are dropping their new music video tonight at 18:00 UK time. We had great fun recording it at Pressure Drop Studios in Stockport last month - I hope folk like it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oit9...

Within the next decade a billionaire will die in a space accident, and it will be the greatest day on the internet in history. I have memes prepared.

they're treating a Nazi takeover of the federal government as no big deal and the possible election of Zohran Mamdani as the end times. it's a remarkable job of failing to meet the moment, and the most revealing sign yet they don't want to do anything at all except cling to party power.

So, opinion of the new Kreator single: Good fun. I'm quite a fan of Hiraes, so Britta Görtz as guest vocals is the icing on the cake. Between the latest Kreator tracks and the new Rage album, it's a good time for fans of melodic Teutonic thrash! youtu.be/ZXGKDM2mjjs

I'm wearing a near zero effort Halloween costume - cloak, black leggings and t-shirt and dark blue paint on my face. Just had some trick or treat kids call it "Slay" :-)

I'm not sure these Beatles lads will catch on #totp

I actually really fucking rate this era of Hole. When I'm doing my "singing for a band" thing, I always try to get some Courtney Love style fry on my voice. #totp

This track was on the night that I had to say goodbye to my Reading Festival fling. We hooked up at the start of the fest and carried on until she had to go back to her fiance. #totp

Remember when the Manics appeared on #totp and broke the record for number of complaints because of their outfits? I miss that Manics.

More importantly, is that a neck pickup-less Gibson Nighthawk? #totp

This is the epitome of "self appointed MILF" pop. #totp

I have to admit that the Manics lost me from this point onwards - The Holy Bible was IMO a 10/10 record. I understand *why* they went this way after Ritchie went swimming, but it really was diminishing returns... #totp

Don't forget, that in recent times, Jim Corr is a 9/11 truther, antvaxer and pro-life dickhead. #totp

"What can I do to make you happy?" You could try fucking off? #totp

With '90's indie alt stuff, it's always a case of "Also ran, or also bland?" #totp

Remember when Lee from Steps tried to go METAL and fucking sucked harder than anyone thought possible? #totp

I actually quite unironically enjoy steps #totp

Off to a bad start #totp

So on Monday, I drove the family to Colwyn Bay, North Wales. The kiddo LOVED it! We now have an extensive shell collection from the beach :-) I never realised how close, and easy a journey it is from our side of Manchester, to the Welsh coast. I think we'll be heading back in the summer :-)

The rhymes in this song are fucking criminal #totp

is this the 1970's "I'm on a boat"? #totp

I think some of the session musicians were payed by the note on this one. Dude with the squelchy keyboard is getting it *all* in there!!! #totp

Hey lads, let's do a "Rod Stewart doing a pastiche of Bowie" style song... #totp

Yesssss!!! It's payday, so I just scored myself a ticket to the Kreator gig (with Carcass, Exodus, and Nails as supports) gig in March. It's going to be a loooooong wait, but also something to *really* look forward to!

As Richard Dawkins begins his anti-trans grift, lets remember the fact that he literally said "my friends were molested by a teacher back in school and it didn't do any of them any lasting harm" and that just a "bit of mild touching up" of a child can't be considered paedophilia 🙃

Where there is an option to vote for neither Labour nor Reform, people take it. But the Starmer bots insist those are the only options

What's that? It's just over 2 weeks until we get to play at one of our fave venues in the UK? That's right!! We're hitting Outpost in Liverpool on Nov 8, with @spraypopmusic.com @stluciferlive.bsky.social and Chrysalid Homo. Excitement is off the charts! Info here: www.facebook.com/events/21188...

On Saturday, I'm going to be buying a guitar off of a friend who's downsizing. It's all "time is a circle", because about 20 years ago, I bought a guitar off of him for in exchange for a Motorhead ticket.

Let's face it: Manchester Pride was the Wes Streeting of pride events. Pull the ladder up behind you, performative "I'm one of the good ones" pandering to straight folks sensibilities, corporate focussed and disconnected from the grass roots.

ALTERED BEAST

eBay are offering grants to help small businesses, but in the application process, you have to specify both how you'd use AI to better list your items *and* trade more sustainably. I mean, I can' be the only one who sees how fucking stupid this is?

If we make it illegal to steal paintings from the Louvre then the entire industry will be unsustainable

Unbelievable; UK Tory MP & former banker, Katie Lam has set out her vision for a White Britain. She uses very obvious ‘intellectual’ far right code - calling her White England ‘culturally coherent’. Racism as policy, now where have we heard that before?

They don't let me in the White House press pool because my question every day for the next week would be, "Does the president still want to take a shit on Americans?"

Sorry but this is the funniest headline I will read all year

Ah man, I wish I had £300 just kicking around. Those ThorpyFX x 2000AD collab pedals look fucking MINT!! They'd look right at home next to my Fender x Hello Kitty fuzz pedal :-) thorpyfx.com/collections/...

“Rather than giving people “free cars”, the Motability scheme allows disabled people to use their PIP to lease new cars for 3 years.” My colleagues Rowena Mason and @guardianheather.bsky.social report with a disclaimer every media outlet should be using tonight. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Right - I've been to (and left a plectrum at) the Phil Lynott statue, but now I need to head back over to see Gallaghers guitar :-)
