In England we call it Paracetemautism.

Like all Muppet revivals (except the 2011 movie, oddly) this will be roundly panned as sub-par when it comes out, and then about five years later everyone will realise it was genius. www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/t...

On a train from Victoria into Kent for my gig. Wall to wall rancid gammon from the march on here. Cockney geez in the next seat keeps talking about “leftist slags”, “the mainstream are covering up the march”, “the Daily Mail let us down when it turned on the Southport protesters”. Proper funny.

Turns out that one can both abhor political violence and also be pretty pleased that a cunt is dead. Human brains, eh?

Linehan is a very specific case of internet derangement syndrome where peoples brains are boiled by being terminally online. I've seen a lot of this over the 20 years of social media. Where people seem to take a turn at some point and fall down a deep well. Gemma is another example 2/

Glinner is actively insane. He's a literal mentalist.

I’m watching American Pie on Channel 4. Guys. This is a horrible film. And Mena Suvari and Chris Klein are literally the worst actors i’ve ever seen in anything.

Angela Rayner bent to just about all of current Labour's demands (derogatory). She has spent five years betraying her old values and making sure she toes the party line. And the party has Corbyn'd her anyway. I hope other leftwing MPs take this as a valuable lesson.

Rain down alienation Leave this country Leave this country

Is the Duchess of Kent the same as Princess Michael of Kent? I'd look it up but I literally don't care that much.

Very well said by @20thcenturymarc.marcburrows.co.uk on Graham Linehan, Lucy Connolly, and their supporters. www.independent.co.uk/voices/hate-...

We got quite embarrassingly emotional during this

Having Mitch on your front row will inspire anyone to their best work

Ten years ago today. Paul Jagger’s bread lion. Never forget.

Had the pleasure of seeing @20thcenturymarc.marcburrows.co.uk's new show The Britpop Hour last night and it is a DELIGHT. So, so good

What a time to be alive

Saw @20thcenturymarc.marcburrows.co.uk's new show The Britpop Hour today and it was immense fun, especially if you've been to any of the legacy gigs this summer. Worth it just to learn to dance like Jarvis Cocker.

Ad on FB just now. This is the creepiest shit I have ever seen. Or it would be, but I saw a creepier one a few weeks ago that claimed you could use photographs of real people. I'm assuming I'm getting these because of my age and demographic etc. It makes my skin crawl.

how your email finds me

Looked at the news. My brain immediately did this.

@wadeywade.bsky.social hello! What's the best way to get in touch with you about A Thing?

I’m not saying that the BBC issuing an apology to “the Jewish community” for Bob Vylan’s anti-IDF Glastonbury chant is ridiculous, I’m just saying it’s basically the same as if an act had chanted “death to nonces” and they apologised to all Catholics for any offence caused.

Every time I read something about Addison Rae i’m like “the taxi people?”

Resurrect my Britpop top 30 deep cut please. Thanx @20thcenturymarc.marcburrows.co.uk ! www.clashmusic.com/features/15-...

So @clashmusic.com asked me for 15 Britpop deep cuts that deserve their moment in the sun. Here's my list of forgotten 90s indie gems. Tiger! Powder! Showgirls! Me Me Me! er ... Oasis. www.clashmusic.com/features/15-...

Still feeling quite sad about Brian Wilson. Just in general.

Gotta love the quirkiness of the Christmas #1! Join us for this fun event with author, comedian & musician @20thcenturymarc.marcburrows.co.uk Mistletoe Vinyl - we’ll have a hoot! Saturday 15 November, 8.15pm @innsideuk #Manchester. All tickets & info: tinyurl.com/4th5vbw5

My favourite one like this is Don Henley getting Brian to autograph a copy of Pet Sounds. Brian signed it "thanks for all the great music" then thought for a second, crossed out "great", and wrote "good"

Most people think the theremin is just for aliens, maybe ghosts. Only Brian Wilson had the true vision that it could also be for summertime sweetheart jams

Gosh. Where to even begin? Rest well, Brian. You earned it. youtu.be/iZGv_P-7rRM?...

LAPD out there like

I'm just glad one of these men has the nuclear codes and the other has all our personal data.

PSA: The 1995 BBC Pride & Prejudice is on in its entirety on BBC4 tonight, right now. *settles in*.

I'm obsessed with how Billie Piper absolutely nailed the line reading of "Oh, hello!". Two words and she did so much with it!

Well, I hope everyone got to see Doctor Who yesterday, because every major news service in the world chose to spoil the final ten seconds, and biggest reveal, of the episode in the spirit of a clickable headline.

We're on our way to #UKGE just for today. We're mostly gonna wander around and then go to @20thcenturymarc.marcburrows.co.uk Magic of Terry Pratchett show towards the end of the day.

Many of you lack the soul of a true poster. You've never looked into the heart of an empty feed and seen not a void, but an echoing cavernous expanse in which to shout a middling observational joke about the episode of TNG where Dr. Crusher bangs a ghost.

THIS WEEK IN PRAGUE! :)❤ #TerryPratchett #Discworld @20thcenturymarc.marcburrows.co.uk www.praguefringe.com/programme/th...

Yesterday, I enjoyed talking all things Nirvana with @20thcenturymarc.marcburrows.co.uk at the Chapter Two community book shop in Chesham, as part of Chesham Fringe. Signed copies of Marc’s book are now available to buy in the shop. #nirvana #marcburrows #cheshamfringe #chesham #grunge

Ballroom Blitz is the only song where the singer checks if the other band members are ready before the song starts. He makes every other singer look like a thoughtless pig

Here's Terry Pratchett mastering the urban fantasy/hidden London genre in less than 500 words when he was just 17, in February 1966. "The idea of people rushing round deep under the earth is dark and mysterious, and the monks want to make sure people remember that".

Maybe it's called a corpse flower because that's a dead ballerina stuffed in a bucket.

I fucking love Stevie Nicks for this
