Dangerous dilettante

@DannyMcLeod22 @grinchtopher (sorry for late response I don't use X anymore) They started super young, they were called the Mocktails before they were the Molotovs. I'm not sure if it was pre or post pandemic but it's definitely years since I first saw them, before Matt's voice has broken

@elyndys @grinchtopher Isn’t the guy like 16? That would man he was gigging at 11??

The band is literally every red flag you can think of of a industry plant: >presented as grassroots >got discovered busking >blown up organically >opened for iggy pop, the libertines etc. >cringe retro mod style and vibe

@policylaila This doesn't make any sense AND you didn't even think of it yourself AND the original was wrong too 😭

Choose a new path for London. Before it’s too late. 🇬🇧

@OrionPaxMustDie @SethAbramovitch @TheNewSchool What?

NEW COVER: Gay hockey romance HEATED RIVALRY is a steamy streaming sensation. The hidden driver? Female viewers. I investigate. hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-features…

@SkySports No one asked for this

@roisinmurphy The point that shouldn't need stating is, much as you enjoy your right to express your opinion, the people who you're talking about also have a right to push back against that. Do you expect people to just agree with you whenever you make a contentious point?

The mob is out in force. The more I see of this cruel “activism,” the more convinced I am that I do not want them anywhere near me or my music, however that may affect my career. I won’t be held to ransom—no more blackmail. What I see more than anything is a spoiled and entitled childishness. I am not interested in being their “mother” or “queen”; these babies need to grow up and allow artists like myself the dignity of opinion and the space and freedom to create. Or let them have AI pop star avatars that never question them. Let the music industry do its worst; let it continue to infantilize and exploit them. Let them have a hologram, perfectly designed for an insular, echo-chamber culture. Perhaps I’ve lived through the last moments of the best period in popular music and, in fact, it’s over—or at least it is at the beginning of the end. If that is so, I have nothing to lose. Just for the record, I have zero hate toward trans people; I do not deny anyone’s existence. The post that has caused such frantic panic among the trans activist mob is a graph that shows a steep decline in trans and non-binary identity in young people over the past few years in the USA. My declaration “it was never real” refers to the contagion that was undoubtedly aided by the submission of the media, captured medical institutions, and social media derangement. Recently, this wilfully blind and irresponsible behavior has been curtailed to some degree, as more and more people affected by it stand up and demand a long-needed audit of trans ideology, which continues to stamp its boot across anyone who decries its negative consequences. Children, families, women, and gay people have all been adversely affected by the insane belief that one can change sex—the core hallucination of this destructive and insidious movement—while bad faith actors have lined their pockets. The arts as a whole are a shadow of their former free and inclusive selves. I’ve had the most free and fun time possible making the music I believe in over the past 30 years. If being a compassionate artist is to be my downfall now, then so be it. I know in my heart that one day, I will be remembered as a brave person, both morally and artistically uncompromising. In the long run, that will be my legacy.

@RupertLowe10 1) why isn't it good 2) who gaf 3) better than being called Rupert

The top boy baby name in Britain for 2024? Muhammad. This is not good.

@RoyalMailHelp For two days in a row I've had a collection booked, no one has knocked on the door and yet I keep getting "no one was home" emails even though I was definitely at home. Whose door are they knocking on because it's not mine!

@libertines @SportsTeam_ Absolutely loving this album, had it on repeat all week

@SkyHelpTeam are you the latest hack victim, because my Sky box has crashed 5 times tonight and now I can't log into My Sky

@EastMidRailway 1254 from Stockport to Sheffield was suddenly announced to not stop at Sheffield. Of course this meant that the subsequent train was very overcrowded. No explanation given!

@Ticketmaster_AU we have tickets to an event tonight but they're not showing up in the app and even though we ordered mobile tickets, when we click into orders it says "Australia post". We haven't received paper tickets either so what do we do?

@MusicAndMuseums @robbodogblue1 @petedoherty Ahh right! I saw that Rough Trade had sold out quickly anyway, which didn't surprise me!

Peter will be performing some intimate sets with UK independent record stores to celebrate the release of ‘Felt Better Alive’. Pre-order your album and ticket bundle from 10am tomorrow - be quick! 🛒peterdoherty.orcd.co/instores

@NME Why does every story about this report it like he was serious 😭 ffs

Pete Doherty offers to support Oasis just for “travel expenses” and tickets for his in-laws nme.com/news/music/pet…

Bring back patronage!!!! Rich people used to use funding the arts for their own pleasure as a bragging point, not destroying them!!!!!!!!
