OK, so this is an unintentionally abstract pic of Mclusky's rollicking show at Chalk in Brighton last night, but why spend time on your camera phone when a gig is so much fun? Lovely stuff @shitrock.bsky.social

On Truss & Kwarteng in ‘22. Allister Heath, Telegraph: “the best budget I have ever heard a British chancellor deliver". Alex Brummer, Mail: “a genuine Tory package elbowing to one side the Treasury's fiscal conservatism".
These men will now be paid actual money for their analysis of today’s budget.

In my corner of the bass-playing universe there was life pre- and post-Mani. He brought a liquid, melodic funkiness that EVERYONE copied. And when I finally met him he was exactly how you imagined him: joyful, generous, unstarry (& more of a star because of it) and wickedly funny. A life well lived

Plenty of reasons why The Stone Roses were so much better than the legions of British bands who wanted to be them. But a big one was having a bassist who could hold it together with so much natural funk and drive and absolute joy in his playing. RIP Mani.

The first thing Yaxley-Lennon did on leaving court was to thank Elon Musk for funding his legal costs.
That's Elon Musk who has repeatedly called for civil war in the UK.
As of typing this - all of the major politicians and platforms maintain a presence on X and it is time for them all to leave.

At Kentish Town Forum last night to see The Wedding Present on their 40th anniversary tour and enjoyed Dave Gedge's warp-speed-Nile-Rodgers guitar chops and yearning indie pop as much as i did 35 years ago. Some prime new songs to check out too
