Ten years after his death, is David Bowie’s musical legacy at risk of fading from view?
From the V&A to the Stranger Things finale, the pop icon still looms large – but with lower streaming figures than his peers, how many new listeners are discovering his music?

Dunno if this is an age thing, but I find people that do professional cynicism as a Bit ever more exhausting by the day. Like, is the world you live in not miserable enough, do you not claw at the cracks of despair hoping to clutch onto a singular grain of joy

Extremely saddened to hear about Pat Dane. He was an endlessly kind and enthusiastic light in our space, and always had time to give advice in the many, many PUBG and Overwatch lobbies we shared towards the start of my career. Such a terrible tragedy, my condolences to his family and loved ones.

New PC is a go! I wantonly bought this gaming keyboard that I don't need (the PC had one packed in) so now it's going spare. Any takers in the UK? Call it £40 posted?

I used to think there was some epic, romantic meaning behind Billy Joel's Innocent Man, but as I get older, I'm starting to think he just forgot to put the bin out on one random Tuesday or left his mucky shoes in the freshly mopped hallway

Societal-driven urge to mock Skyrim launching on another console, but I actually think Skyrim should be on every device on Earth. It should come in the mail with samples of Tide. I'll be loading it onto the microchip in my brain day one, grinding shite dwarf ruins in my unconscious slumber
