easily the finest piece of art produced this year is Harry Hill's reading of a Shopify ad, 20'48 into this. Perfection. youtu.be/mMKSnQTY5Vs?...
We've got until the end of Monday to respond to the Green Paper on BBC Charter Review. You can bet your arse that the people who want rid of the BBC will be filling it in, so if you value the BBC, please do it too. www.gov.uk/government/c...
Great work by @glasgowbell.bsky.social
A recommended read, particularly for Glasgow’s residents. It’s about your money:

Can't think of a better film about being a musician, all of the time... there's even a bit where Fred's coughing is music.

oh no! I’ve confused it with another one. Don’t have time to go to the attic to doublecheck, but I’m happy to bow to Discogs knowledge rather than my memory. It’s definitely transparent green rather than dark green, and the first section unlistenably noisy! Thanks for putting me right :)
I had the red vinyl 7" so most of the long version was drowned out by crackles and pops
Had a flashback to this one, just now, watching The Skids on #TOTP

i particularly enjoyed the brilliant, difficult, pointlessness of Stellub, it was glorious
singing exactly that along with TMBG in SWG3 with my daughter and some ex-students was one of my highlights of 2024 ( ... and Dr Worm of course)
Vic resting his hands unconvincingly on the keys in a half-hearted attempt to please with an action pose is lovely
Yes,,, your boy has taken a ride in the 4 man bobsled,,, but im an adrenaline junkie and needed to try skeleton. And now I’ve officially joined the team and am gonna try to start competing.

do yourself a favour and set aside half an hour to marvel at this from the astonishing Angine de Poitrine. microtonal looping in silly costumes at its absolute best youtu.be/0Ssi-9wS1so?...
Interesting piece on Andy Goldsworthy's Gravetstones art work on the BBC website. It's an "exclusive first look" apparently. I offered it to a national newspaper last year but they turned it down. I ended up writing it for my Substack. smallfinds.substack.com/p/small-find...
I can never understand why so much classical music programming revolves around anniversaries, it's so arbitrary (and often lacking in imagination)
but is that interpretation an equally valid one?
Richard Curtis's greatest achievement
don’t forget to listen to Go+ at 33rpm ;)
there are a couple of live Panixsphere covers of Cross Wires on YouTube with Tim Smith on bass (but you probably know that already!)
oh, I thought you’d sneaked off to Dundee for a moment there
but did you resist the coffee tower?
yeah, but playing the piss-easy organ part is a whole fuckton o’ fun
anyone advocated a cultural boycott of the US yet?
Which brings us to the House of Lords Digital Committee, which is looking at the government’s brilliant idea of giving away everyone’s copyright to American artificial intelligence giants, in return for a bag of magic beans that can only be seen by the very wisest ministers. A consultation on this last year found it was supported by just three percent of respondents, which must be some kind of record. That’s even smaller than the number of people who believe that the Loch Ness monster is real, or that Keir Starmer is doing a good job. On Tuesday, the committee was treated to a joint appearance from Technology Secretary Liz Kendall and Claims-To-Be-Culture-Secretary Lisa Nandy. Two secretaries of state at once! Or one-and-a-half, anyway. “I don’t think our secretaries of state need much introduction,” Committee Chair Baroness Keeley said. Other opinions are available. They had come, it turned out, not to defend their own proposals, but to bury them. “We are having a genuine reset mom
Artificial Unintelligence: the government is in full retreat over copyright, and the attempts to make it look dignified only make it funnier. My SKETCH.

this is absolutely amazing - an anonymous person has spent two years mapping the state of every public path in Glasgow "with the movement of high support mobility device users as priority" 👏👏👏 glasgowaudit.wordpress.com/about/
amazingly, Ski Sunday is still running as a TV programme, and it still has the same sig tune, but they drown it out with crap sound FX. better to subtitle it so we can all sing along https://youtu.be/hCIWyKey0BI?si=xJJbkIIwTacgBtMg
one of the first singles i bought and still a banger. think I got the Tails of Illusion album for my birthday, which is quite weird for a 9 year old looking back on it
