@manicpopthrlls @horsemeatpie Haven't sorted anything out, probably should though.

I even love the crap bits of Actually (Shopping, Hit Music). The best bits are the best bits of anything.

Ridiculous that 'freeform' isn't how most radio is. Anyway, love WFMU. pledge.wfmu.org/donate via @wfmu

“The British people back the Governments bill” @SuellaBraverman has told Parliament tonight. RT this if you think she’s wrong

@mitherer @EdwynCollins @pastels_the It is! Or rather, that's the cribbed bit, it's from Greensleeves. Never realised. genius.com/Traditional-en…

Excellent bookshop window display. @ Leakey's Bookshop instagram.com/p/Ch0GObtKtSC/…

@the_brogues We were saying this would have made the whole weekend worth it on its own. Just amazing. Love the new stuff too, but that change of gear...!

Loved seeing Rachel Love at Glas-goes-pop! I never thought I'd hear Dolly Mixture's "How Come You're Such A Hit With The Boys, Jane" played live. What a moment! 😁

Brilliant line up for day 1 of #glasgoespop . All of it, but The Orchids & June Brides out of this world. @ Glasgow University Union (GUU) instagram.com/p/Cg6gekaqX7p/…

@beautypill The main thing terminology wise is speed is given in megabits per second, and a megabit is an eighth of a megabyte. You can use a calculator like this to work out how fast data will take to transfer at a certain speed: omnicalculator.com/other/data-tra…

I am at a friend's house downloading a 100GB file. It's going to take less than an hour. Her internet is unbelievably fast. This is making me realize how slow mine is at home. I need to understand how this works.

@douglasnoble Thanks! Hadn't seen that before.

@manicpopthrlls I love how brittle the sound is though. Like a cold fresh morning (must revisit, thanks for the prompt).

@rickburin Mine is Daniel Johnston's 'Grievances' which, in the first song on his first cassette, references many later, greater songs, themes & recurring phrases ('Hi, how are you', 'If I can't be a lover then I'll be a pest', etc). It's like he invents his whole mythology in one go.

Every bit of this is pure gold... “An Australian astrophysicist has been admitted to hospital after getting four magnets stuck up his nose in an attempt to invent a device that stops people touching their faces during the coronavirus outbreak.” gu.com/p/dhejy/stw

From John McPhee's 'Oranges'.

First blog post in a while. Wasn't feeling it, so stopped. But anyway, wasn't Michael Redgrave brilliant? la-terrasse.blogspot.com/2020/01/alan-s…

Meanwhile, in Charlotte, NC...

@rickburin I thought something similar about Lawrence from Felt after watching 'Lawrence of Belgravia'. His Felt songs have a literary / paperback-in-pocket feel, but I don't think there's reading behind them. His other songs very much don't, of course!

"I really don't see the point of comedy unless there's something underpinning it." Chris Morris says satire is not about being "slapped on the back by the orthodox elite", it's about wanting to "change something".
