Back in the day I worked at @RadioX or, as it was known then, Xfm. First I was station assistant, then – once we'd been awarded a London-wide licence in 1997 – Head of Music. But I'm getting ahead of myself. 1/20

Name a film you've seen more than 7 times with a GIF

@AudioCultureNZ Three out of ten

I's Monday afternoon, and it's #AudioCultureQuiz time! Today it's an album and label themed quiz, by me (Renee). How did you do? audioculture.co.nz/articles/audio…

@AudioCultureNZ 2/10, one (number 9 an educated guess). Delighted, as was expecting a big fat zero.

Kia ora, it's #AudioCultureQuiz time! This one is fun: Chris Bourke has put together an Aotearoa album covers quiz. How many of these locations can you pick? audioculture.co.nz/articles/audio…

We've all done it

@mikeyt6969 It's what we call a brainfart, and it's been fixed. Thanks!

@blogjam James Burton? wtf dude! loudersound.com/news/metallica…

@SteelyDass What a great second side it is too

On Record Store Day I took my mobile disco from the sitting room to the cafe down the road and played records for three hours, including the entire second side of ‘Youth of America’ by Wipers 🕶️💋

@AudioCultureNZ @grantkmcdougall 2/10. Another triumph.

It's Rāhina/Monday, and it's #AudioCultureQuiz time. We gave a special guest quizzer today: welcome @grantkmcdougall! How did you do? audioculture.co.nz/articles/audio…

@mogwaifearsatan @fesshole I think the "three more from them later" thing was in the ether way before I was involved with The Word, but my memory is entirely untrustworthy.

Just thought you might be interested to see the amount of complaints that have come in about the John Peel replies. And this is only about half of them coz can't be arsed to paste in all the ones that get sent to @anon_opin #gid=0" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…

We would like to apologise* to everyone who was offended at The Church of the Forgiving Eagle Easter Bonanza today. (*No refunds).

@Emmenaartje @theJLMurray Correct!

@theJLMurray @blogjam They have not toured in 2022. Their last concert was in Philadelphia on September 20, 2016

@alexandermilas I can't believe their nemesis is death. So unlucky!

@blogjam I haven’t even heard them and I am considering a tattoo.

Someone from The Platform asked to interview me about my so-called career a while back. The station's treatment of @davidfarrier was one reason I turned them down open.substack.com/pub/webworm/p/…

@elonmusk Can I have my blue tick removed please Elong? I'm concerned people will assume I paid for it, which would be kinda humiliating. Thx.

@alistaircoleman Thanks! I like the computer ones less. Less impactful, I reckon.

@blogjam They’re still done by the Mansudae Art Studio, and while they still turn out painted stuff, they’re also using computer art. There’s also a singular lack of imagination, but if you’re churning out the same stuff for decades, why change?

New North Korea propaganda posters KLAXON. And they’re virtually identical to the last lot of propaganda posters.

@davidfarrier Brilliant film. Mark Rylance is an absolute giant.

@AudioCultureNZ 4/10

How is it Monday again already?! Here's something to help you through the afternoon: the #AudioCultureQuiz. Questions are by me (Renee), let me know how you go. audioculture.co.nz/articles/audio…
