Is there a German word for that feeling you get when you're reading a description under an Instagram post and you realise you've just read three paragraphs of pointless AI shit?
‘The gift of Andy and Fergie, which comes at too high a price, has been to bring the antiseptic of daylight to the culture of royal privilege.’

Call me Mr. Safe and everything but attempting a panenka in a high stakes match just seems like one of those things you should avoid, like skiing or getting into a helicopter
Guy will be gutted. He hasn't killed anyone in 24 years.
Ian Huntley's death means he falls out of contention for the next FIFA Peace Prize
"change"
Thank you!
Any of you cats got a press contact for Quebec's enigmatic Angine de Poitrine?
Further to my recent piece on Liars' Drum's Not Dead, I found some pictures I took from back then, I can still feel the crazed energy of these gigs. Also, the time at ATP when @jeres.bsky.social and Angus had the same moustache and it was very amusing.

Note to self: pull your fucking finger out and write something else eh
It's 35 years today since Gainsbourg died, which is a long time if you're young and not so long if you're not. That also means my book must be five years old which feels like last week when you get to my age. Anyway, just to say, it's still out there hanging just outside the Ethnomusicology Hot 100
My 8yo is asking me about my dream team and making me question how a grownup man has a dream team. "Do you dream about it?" he asks, "how does it impact your life?"
The snot just keeps on coming
Can't take anything away from last night's performance but the stills are regrettably Brentian
You know the president is a massive bullshitter when he says the Supreme Leader of Iran is dead but it still hasn't been updated on Wikipedia
The "the Greens are just bonkers" attack line is definitely risky when Polanski is clearly the most persuasive and effective communicator in British politics since, well, Farage
Yeah, I was struck by how good it was before I got asked to write about it, which is always how you want to approach a piece if possible
Fuck off bastard trees, what did I ever do to you except let my dog piss up you?
About 30 seconds of sunshine and I'm already spluttering like Mike Parry doing the "cinnamon challenge"
Where did you discover this if you don't mind me asking? Can't find any reports...
Thanks man :)

Liars are the greatest US(ish) group of the C21st & it was a joy to write about Drum’s Not Dead for its 20th birthday, a record of beauty and violence that explores the mania of the human mind shifting between states of anxiety and creativity. On @thequietus.com:

Colour photograph of Peaches wearing a pink top with 'protect trans youth' written on it.
'No Lube So Rude is an album of alacritous beats and riotous self-expression with moments, like ‘Watcha Gonna Do About It’, that are oddly redolent of Madonna’s electronic-focused albums from throughout the 10s.'
