New article - Guy Steven’s, taste-maker extraordinaire (just ask Pete Townshend, The Clash, the Stones, Steve Marriott). Here - davehaslam.substack.com/p/a-half-for...

Tremendous news that a film about Guy is in progress.

Great short thread 👇

How many more raptures until Xmas?

My alarm didn't go off this morning but luckily I was woken up by being mildly irked in a dream, after a neighbour had volunteered me to look after the local Tasley penguins without even asking me. I don't know what's worse, the cheek of that dreamt up neighbour or the lack of penguins?!

We had the news on by accident earlier and I found out that not only is Port Vale not an actual port but it’s in Stoke-on-Trent 😲 Geography has never been my strong point tbh

I didn’t go tonight and Wolves won but I AM NOT A JINX alright 😆😆

Among the many, many risks of Trump’s anti-Tylenol tirade? According to experts who spoke to @wired.com, an increase in autism rates:

Anybody in the Stevenage area have available an accessible room or studio flat to rent? My daughter is starting a PhD next week and the flat that we hoped she be in by now looks like it is going to fall through. Thanks

Thanks as always to anyone taking time to continue following these musical connections... Continuing my blog with thoughts on the continually enduring appeal of musical lore 52 Albums To Shape A Soul - Part 40 Thanks for reading 🙏x lippykidmusic.substack.com/p/52-albums-...

My local cinema is screening subtitled films every Tuesday, checked the listings for next week in anticipation - Downton Abbey 😭😆😆

Jimi Hendrix - Electric Church was amazing this evening 🖤 Fast forward past the waffle and get to the actual concert if you watch on catch up.

I watched the final episode of This is England 1990 last night, what incredible TV 👌 Powerful, traumatic at times, but more often a reminder of who we are and how we got here. Released in 2015. Come on Warp Films and Channel 4, get the funding together for This is England 2020! I miss them all.

We need to be very clear about this. Rising Christian nationalism is a threat to us all. humanists.uk/2025/09/17/r...

Seems quite relevant today. Simpler times when we envied America for its constitution. The midterms can’t come fast enough xkcd.com/1357/

See if you can spot the hidden cliff railway nestling in the valley here. Vinyl signs 😱

This is the one and only glimpse I want to see of the whole shitfest

It might feel a bit early, but I’ve had so many requests already… My 2025 Christmas Cards are now available to pre-order www.gailmyerscough.co.uk/christmas-ca...

Conor Gallagher is a decent player, went out on loan a lot from Chelsea including West Brom (yoinks, sorry Simon), decent stint at Crystal Palace then briefly back to his boyhood club and became captain too. Meeting with the boss, Conor it looks like you’re going to Madrid lad, no not that one…

This is an excellent watch, humility and talent are all too rare, and what a film that is too 👌 I would absolutely LOVE to see This is England 2000 made, come on Channel 4 and Warp Films get the cash sorted?! 😆 youtu.be/23NGxGRLTmI

Carvajal’s slow motion headbutt, more of a head lean tbh seems to have been devastating. So much power from a quick lean of the head 🙃😆😆 Can we not have a tiny ounce (OK probably a gram) of common sense 😱

That beautiful crescent moon and Jupiter are worth a gaze if you’re up and about. The brightest stars of Gemini alongside too 🤍

I enjoyed that battle of the Manchesters a lot more than a chunk of the fandom probably did? Every season I think these could be the golden years of the Premier League and that could stop at any time? Salah, Haaland, Eze etc. so much incredible talent 👌

Brilliant piece on the casual erasure of of a female artist from a landmark moment in pop culture. And the answer to the question, Why don’t Peter Blake’s other album covers have the power and impact of Sgt. Pepper?

One month to render a single frame. What an incredible milestone 👌 A whole month to render using a VAX minicomputer using custom built REYES software (render everything your eyes saw.)

In the incredibly unlikely scenario that the MI5 ever take an interest in my online communications they’ll be completely befuddled by me going dark via a VPN around 2:55pm every other Saturday afternoon 😄

Released 40 years ago today, how it all came about could fill a book. Soon forgotten at the time by all but a few. Always grateful for the love still out there though, what a difference (a mere) four decades makes 😄

Full disclosure I am actually a Day Time Paranormal Investigator. I investigate things that go bump in the daytime…

I love these two on TV so really pleased to see them back. Zero chance it’s entirely serious *Charlie looks sideways to camera mid interview* 😆😆🤣

I’m a late boomer* (and very few of the supposed generational traits seem to apply) but if anything I would say us “boomers” and gen X* failed our biggest test and that was to leave a better world for the next generation? *bullshit marketing terminology, also, not the band 😄

While Governments fail the arts step up, especially that singing competition that you all like 👏👏👏

That bass and just the whole rhythm section 🔥

I need you to understand what this country feels like right now for those of us who look different. I'm sitting here, trying to plan for Saturday, make sure I don't even need to go to the corner shop for milk, like it's Christmas Day or lockdown. Why? Because I live near where Yaxley-Lennon will 1/

I feel like @mattielubchansky.com has us all covered on this one today

It's record club TONIGHT with an evening dedicated to Dexys Midnight Runners and their classic lost album Don't Stand Me Down, including special video contributions from band members @oharaviolin.bsky.social and @kevadams.bsky.social. Glossop Labour Club, 8pm. Music starts at 8.30. See you there!

A lot of assholes (mainly US obviously) are ranting at “the left” right now. Can anyone remind me when the next meeting of “the left” is planned?

This is a Melissa Hortman appreciation account for the next 24 hours.

A person that I voted for actually won, and Wolves were found to be wronged again by VAR. I’m so shocked by both of these revelations that I’m currently typing this from the floor 😆

I’ve been watching This is England 86 the past couple of evenings and forgot this was the series *no spoilers* with the dark reveal. Such important TV and as ever brilliantly written, cast, directed, what a team 👌 I hate Ch4’s looong ad breaks so swung for a £3.99 a month sub instead. They got me 😄

Well worth a read

Going to Diss on Weds (tomorrow) for a Fesshole gig. Do pop in if you're around, because at the very least, it'll be more interesting going out and seeing me make a fool of myself rather than spending another night scrolling social media. Tickets here --> sites.google.com/view/fesshol...

Remember when we used the expression “creeping privatisation” of the NHS? It’s fucking sped up a bit hasn’t it?! Context: trying to help get my elderly parents an audiology appointment 😬 Postcode lottery as per…

Grazie Italia

Weird to see Belarus v Scotland in an empty ground but fair play Scotland all good so far 🤞🤞

I’ve never felt so disheartened. My small business means everything to me and I want to keep going. Please have a look at my website. Buy things, commission me or repost. www.gailmyerscough.co.uk Thank you.

I’m loathe to say this and please don’t be offended - because the fandom is *strong* - but as soon as Darth Vader walks into shot a film descends into farce doesn’t it? I loved Andor, so watched Rogue One then it goes all “he’s behind you…”

Missed the eclipse because of clouds (and probably trees anyway) so just got a photo of the just past full moon instead. Beautiful sight all the same, it'll be light tonight 🌕

Looks like we’ll mostly miss this but we will see the later part of the lunar eclipse if you have a decent view east from England or Wales? And no clouds of course 😄 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

There are many alternative words to describe “flaggers” 🙄😆😆

I nearly missed Bandcamp Friday but luckily it goes way past midnight and I spotted this amongst other fantastic releases. What a collection this is though 👌
