The whole Has Been album is brilliant.
William Shatner's "Common People", a spoken word cover of Pulp's 1995 hit, is the greatest cover version ever made. Secondly, and rather hilariously, it actually reached number 1 on the UK singles chart in late 2004, while Pulp's original could only manage number 2 in 1995.

Okay, allies. I see you LOUDLY saying how you don't give money to the UK Salvation Army because you don't agree with the anti-queer policies of the US Salvation Army.
Fine, and thank you.
What I don't see is you donating the same spare pound coin to homeless LGBTQ+ youth instead.

Word of the day, should you be feeling a little huffish, is ‘apanthropy’ (18th century): a love of solitude and the desire to be away from other people.

I had a good friend at uni, Andy. He was born on November 19th. He would have been 58 today.
While we were still at uni he was diagnosed with testicular cancer. He was 21.
