Low culture reviews "Minions and monsters" For fans of the minions. Far funnier than "Toy story 5", a lot of references to classic cinema. It all goes quite meta at the end.

Happy Saturday! ☕️😊 Have some sunshine jangle pop from The Junipers. Loving this right now, it’s got a real Beatles vibe about it. youtu.be/Nq85wvV6VVg?...

I asked Gemini to make this picture of a Teardrop Explodes bootleg better so I could read it. It changed the sleeve notes to those of a jazz album. Thanks Gemini.

This is so special. IMHO one of the best things we at @skepwax.bsky.social have released! youtu.be/-n0OGNUcNtM?...

Oh I suppose I should listen to the latest music league playlist. I think I'm the last to vote.

Strange correlation between the first time I listened to "Aztec Discipline" and this moment now. I think "Dinner bell" may cut deep tonight.

Friends worry that he's listening obsessively to The Kingsbury Manx again.

WHY HAVE I NEVER NOTICED YOU CAN HEAR SOMEONE BREATHING DURING THE QUIET TRANSITION AT THE END OF "PELZ KOMET"??? (3 min 27 to 3 min 30)

"Hello Fresh?" "Goodbye, mate"

#NowPlaying Still hearing new details I've not heard, even after 25 years of constant play. A stunning album.

Definitely not "A morning odyssey". But your friends said "Please don't cry". I hope some painkillers provided some "Solace".

They've finally got the right version of "Perfect Way"!!!

Do I have to go to Merthyr Tydfil though?

Wishing a happy birthday to Neil who is 72 today! Photo: Chris #PetText

The right wing media's problem with Binface is simple. They've ignored him until now, that Sky interview in Makerfield was probably their first contact with him, so they think he's a joke with limited shelf life.

Hmm, Korg NTS-4 mixer...six channels, built in FX, audio out via usb...£190? Fuck off!

Starting at 2026 going back to 1968, then returning to 2026, then returning to 1968, finally returning to 2026. 236 songs All different artists open.spotify.com/playlist/5Aw...

Whatever happened to Functional Signage? Great band. 'PUB' was superb (as was the instrumental version on the 12", 'DUB'), but the b-side 'CURRY HOUSE, BATHROOM FLOOR', a continuation of the cautionary tale begun on the A-side, was even better.

In much sadder news, the death of songwriting genius Brian Potter has been announced. He co-penned so many classics with his songwriting partner Dennis Lambert, including this one youtu.be/NjbsqXgxq2o?...

Plans for Irvine new town, 1971. Thanks to Andy Morten at Shindig! mag for alerting me to these.

I've seen Count Binface called "an asset of the deep state" and now my head hurts.

I'm not saying it's hot I'm just saying I've got three fans pointing at me.

It would take the hardest of hearts not to really warm to Bonnie Tyler, whenever you saw her interviewed on anything. She's so Swansea (alright, Skewen). Always came over as a proper good laugh and a decent human being. A world-conquering diva, but always one of us. Also, WHAT a voice. R.I.P.

Playlist & playback for this week’s It’s a Jangle Out There. Guess the theme. jangleoutthere.wordpress.com/2026/07/09/p...

RIP to Mumbles’ finest. This is probably my favourite. One of her best and one of Steinman’s best too. www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXXi...

The way Count Binface is demolishing the establishment, humiliating the sceptical media and uniting the nation proves that he is most definitely "the people". Which makes Garage...what?

RIP Bonnie Tyler 8-(

THIS!!! The application process was ridiculously complex, the assessment felt like an exam, the stress was incredible, and it took NINE MONTHS from application to final decision. www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

Forty years ago today I bought three versions of "Sing Song" by Sudden Sway from a bargain bin in a record shop in Bath. (1, 5 and 8 if you're wondering) youtu.be/aibyyr9HKgY?...

Well hello!

Happy 86th birthday to the tempo of life himself, the one and only, the inimitable, irreplaceable #RingoStarr! Peace and love on your big day, thank you for everything sir. Here's to your long long road extending on for years to come. Bless you. 🙏🎂🎊🥁🎵😎 @ringostarrmusic.bsky.social #TheBeatles

Oh no, is the thin skinned fascist* going away? * Our one, that is. Viewers in other areas may have their own thin skinned fascists

Better FX than Hitchcock's.

Joking aside, I genuinely feel for all the true US football fans and all those in around the game in their country. There's been a lot of hard work done over there to elevate the game and this was their moment, all to see it undermined by egotistical maniacs who couldn't care less.

Happiest of birthdays to the mighty Ringo Starr!

NEW! #FirstLastAnything Ep 37. Journalist, broadcaster and author @samiraahmeduk.bsky.social joins me on the textcast to discuss her superb new book on the Beatles’ first film, 1964’s A Hard Day’s Night, and chats about some of her cherished music purchases. firstlastanything.co.uk/2026/07/05/f...

There seems to be a nice sense of unity this morning. I wonder why.

I see justice has prevailed. Thank god for that. Sorry for the USA team, but not sorry to see the Orange One being shown up to the entire world as a manipulative cheat.

Fucking hell I love this album

A brilliant review of the @burningferns.bsky.social album Public Mono on the @countrymile.bsky.social label by Rob @durutti74.bsky.social agoldfishcalledregret.wordpress.com/2026/07/05/p...

In other news, eighteen months on, I've just remembered another ICU delirium vision.

Right... 1 - Yes, I know they do. 2 - I'm a music fan not a football fan, so I didn't realise. Maybe I should stay in my lane? 3 - it was a light hearted remark, not a debate starter 4 - it's been a hard day's night and we all probably need some sleep 5 - so...er...yeah...sorry.

Up the Emirates watching the Arsenal Wait a minute, where's me parcel? Where's me parcel?

Evri! (Woo hoo) Where the hell is my parcel? (Woo hoo) What's taken it so long? (Woo hoo) To get to me... Et cetera

Why do the England fans sing "Wonderwall" when "Hey Jude" is there in plain sight?

Gosh!
