Love these. Thank you @Chrisf

Ollie Reeder from The Thick Of It has been hitting the gym! I am sharing this cautious optimism, the trailer shows some promise! There is a also a Rob Reiner book ‘A Fine Line between Stupid and Clever’ due […]

I love lyrics & have a few which I think hold up as standalone pieces of poetry. Simon Armitage & his work with LYR is an obvious choice & his collection Never Good With Horses is wonderful, which makes sense as […]

A big up for Östermalms. I always try & visit when visiting for work. If steak is your thing & you are pushing the boat out, then I have had a few good meals at Restaurang AG. It is in an old silver factory & […]

Wholly agree with this – i am fast becoming a fan too & it is this sincerity (with a sly wink on the side) which is landing so well.

Dump by Presidents Of The United States Of America Ghosts of (Laying A) Cable Street by The Men They Couldn’t Hang

Great review of a great book. I devoured this one when I read, it is a compelling one & some great anecdotes. Lots covered that passed me by at the time (I was obsessed with Gene in 1997!) and it reminded me of […]

Great idea for a thread @Boneshaker The last I can remember is an acoustic version of Running/Planning by CMAT that she did on the Adam Buxton podcast. Not sure why it got me, but it really landed that day! […]

I would not have 2025 pegged as a great year on this front, but adding a few items below was easy which is usually a good sign (particularly on the music front) Film The Ballad of Wallis Island – a really lovely […]

A couple you may like (if not already aware) based on the bands mentioned in your post Magic Shoppe Car Seat Headrest Floodlights House Of All Hamish Hawk

Funny you should say that @dai . Me & my better half saw them at the Albert Hall & had a very similar vibe re the cult like adulation on display. We were up quite high near the stage & a lady next to us was […]

We had an unexpected free Sat night & went to see this at Home in Manchester. I have to agree with all comments above, this is a superb film & well worth a watch.

86-98 is a great place to start as per @moseleymoles post above. It was also Enjoy The Silence which got me into this fine band & I thought this album encouraged me to delve further. A couple of tracks that I […]

I love it when this happens! A song that you have enjoyed & appreciated can suddenly come to life live & changes how it is listened to forever after. A couple of times that spring to mind for me on this; 1) […]

Oh wow! I can imagine that this live must have been incredible.

We should do a follow up thread. What was the name of your first pet, your mothers maiden name & what are the 3 digits on the back of your bank card?

I remember with fondness the Viz thread. Lots of great things on that one

Ah lovely stuff, I frequent your fine site regularly, although I lurk rather than post! I am enjoying the lyrics for the new album & love they are being done in order! 🙂

Another new one; Here’s to your Native American name ‘great big whopper with shit for brains’ Is this @ChrisRand of HMHB lyrics project fame?? I was going to point out here that it is a great place to visit!

I could put a hundred different ones here, such is my love for the lyrics of this fine band! The ones that jump to mind today; (Depressed Beyond Tablets) Oh the results of my lifetime are a string of […]
