@AntonJaegermm Loved the book. Would love to DM about doing something somewhere (I'm based in Ghent, the Belgian one), but write for UK places mostly. DM if fancy it, if not, thanks for the book. Totally needed and paired nicely with Dominique De Groen's shopgirl oddly enough

And here we go

No one tells you the true allure of Bluesky is going back in time to an ad-free existence. The viral moments here are great, but they're now ingrained with the spectacle. The commodification & gentrification of the once global village is too much to take. See you later twitter

@The_Fence_Mag @jimmy__mcintosh Is that ...Rimbaud?

A tribute to Issue 22 and @jimmy__mcintosh? You have our attention

@Ankaman616 Gotta carve out 45 mins for that Rock promo

No that's too long

The biggest grower of a record in recent memory. It has me convinced more than ever that COVID times and its immediate aftermath just mollified all emotive receptors, because how did I listen to this EP and shrug?

@Hyperdub @IceboyViolet @_n_u_e_e_n_ Saw them in Ghent earlier this year. Had some real punk energy that I haven't experienced in a while. Loved it! Think 2025 is their year

"My Chemical Romance cannot be spoken of in any reverential terms within music. Any artist whose half-life exceeds their active existence is always a commentary on society and not on the musicians." MCR came to The Astoria in 2005 & brought a plague: open.substack.com/pub/urblindspo…

The first entry in the London A-Z is a rather violent remembrance of the London Astoria and its redevelopment that ultimately redeveloped the author's dreams. Read here & please subscribe for the following entries: open.substack.com/pub/urblindspo…

@SatNextTo That's some insane hate to put Theory above Vince McMahon!

Remove Pete Dunne’s name in the loser section and replace it with Odyssey Jones. Pronto!

@TheUntranslated Finally got around to Hugh Kenners The Pound Era. So 100% that. I was also pleasantly surprised by 33 1/3's one on Kanyes my beautiful dark twisted fantasy.

OK, it's that time of the year. What's the best book you have read in 2024?

In english, we call this a ramp. In dutch as well.

@TravisReilly I do believe Everton are unrelegatable. Just one of the spells cast at the beginning of time (1952)

@rd151 Yeah, I mean at this point they’d have to want to compete for middle of the table next season? Baby steps haha.

I’m going to miss Dyche, man. Hopefully we can have a gin & tonic at an Oasis gig next year.

@TravisReilly Yeah, tbh, I'm not sure what Everton's ambitions are. If they wanna stay in the league and have a go next season in the new stadium, surely Dyche is the guy? Sack him next season if it don't work out?

@rd151 I feel for Dyche cause it’s not like he’s got Man City’s squad and isn’t getting results, but either way it might be time. I hope either way they shuffle the deck a bit next month.

@TravisReilly Ah right, I would say Lope, Dyche and Ange are all on the same chopping board. If one goes, the others will be spared.

@rd151 Not yet, feels inevitable though.

@corpseinorbit It's how I picture the Infinites in Ziggy Stardust.

@rd151 Actually yeah that's pretty much like ours

Just FYI, I'm not really in the market myself, but some of you guys might like to know that there's apparently a religion based on George Michael now

@corpseinorbit For reference, this is probably the most famous Shirley in Britain (from EastEnders)

@corpseinorbit Diners*

@corpseinorbit Shirley is just a name you see and immediately want to leave your family for in a whirlwind of martinis and a 1950s roadster. It unlocks something in you and that's probably why they won't allow it in the US unis.

@rd151 Damn, we have a version of that here, but it's all Andy and Alex and David. "Winston" would freak my shit. That's a name for a bulldog wearing a weskit
