Argh. I suppose I'd better get on with it, then.

No one can accuse me of being half arsed when taking up a hobby. 😬

Fantastic list and great to see Kasai in there. It's been a long time since I've been so entranced by an album where I didn't know what the hell was going on.

A very strong #1 as well. 🙏
Hark! The Quietus Albums of 2025 chart is here! Prepare to be astounded, thrilled and (potentially) perplexed. tQ subscribers can also dive into selections from all 100 albums in our bumper 9-hour playlist. #tQCharts

The Big Man's just seen a bird fly past the window and got so excited his teeth started chattering. 🤣

Two years ago we lost Shane MacGowan. I will always remember his childlike smile, his generous spirit and his humanity. He was a wonderful man and he is so missed.

Sending love today to Victoria Mary Clarke and Siobhan MacGowan on what will be a difficult day.

I bought 2 of these from Currys in the mid 90s for £20 each brand new. Needless to say I don't have them now. 😬

Shooting birds is not a "sport"; it's a cruel and outdated pastime that has no place in a modern, compassionate society.

#musicsky Elastica, No More Heroes

It remains a stompin' track despite its similarities to The Stranglers' Waking Up. I think.

Watched Bladerunner again last night. Would have been so much better if they had gone with the original idea, that instead of origami unicorns, Edward James Olmos’ character had made balloon animals.

The former UKIP leader who now lives in France, because of course he does.
Here's UKIP's former Scottish leader David Coburn, who has denied taking Russian bribes after being named in Whatsapp messages between Nathan Gill and a pawn of the Putin administration, being applauded by Gill for arguing against Ukraine's entry to the EU

Mega Drive news!

I've replaced the no-name power supply with a proper one, so hefty that it could knock out a mammoth. They definitely don't make them like they used to. 🤣

Because I'm an inveterate tinkerer and even though the MD is now flawless I've ordered 45 capacitors to replace the originals.

Moral to writers - Don't fall in love with your protagonist.
while I am posting trivia, which TV show do you think showed the sharpest fall in quality from first to last seasons? I ask because the answer is obviously The Morning Show, the last series of which was garbage
