One of the best moments in music (and documentary) history.

The return of the Stone Roses, Shane Meadows looking at the crowd and mouthing "f*cking hell", Mani bouncing on stage & punching the air and then THAT bassline.

RIP to a legend of a fella

Just a reminder to always check your scarecrows for kidnapping victims.

Mostly applies to residents of Royston Vasey.

Interesting Guardian article on the new Spotify alternatives.

I really like the idea from Cantilever to have a limited number of albums to listen to at any one time.

Slows it down and gives time for proper listening.

It's been about 15 years since I first watched it but I'm still not over the original Funny Games.

One of my favourite albums of the past few years.

Blómi by Susanne Sundfør.

Red Rum Club, Albert Hall Manchester.

Wow. One of the best shows and crowd I've ever seen.

Incredible night.

I remember as a kid pressing play/pause to write down the lyrics to Divine Comedy's "National Express" (??) and wondering if I was losing my mind writing down the outro.

Enjoyable and confusing - this new CMAT album is full of bangers.

Finally watching the new Adam Curtis series, "Shifty", and now I don't know who or what I am.

I'm actually against the Lionesses now.

Genuinely interested in this...

Who decides if the song/artist is shown on DAB?

Seems like some shows on @6music.bsky.social use it, some don't.

@craigcharles.bsky.social churns out banger after banger but I always miss the track.

What a way to go out.

A front row seat at your own funeral has to be up there in metal deaths.

That side two opening combo of Chain of Fools then Good To Me As I Am To You🫠

This Sabbath "Back to the Beginning" gig is crazy.

Heavy metal surely has the greatest concentration of absolutely unbelievable vocalists of any genre??

Gutted about this - got right up to the car park and found out it had been cancelled 30mins before.

Missed a chance to see an absolute legend.

Just reading reviews about the new Simz record.

I think this covers it.

So, Liz Phair?

Going to see Alanis Morissette on Friday at Lytham festival and Liz Phair is supporting.

My ignorance but I don't know anything about her...turns out she's a bit of a legend?

What do I need to know?
