No, thanks. We started with the Tea Party and ended up with MAGA. #totp

How can you have so many soul acts in the charts and come up with a show so soulless? #totp

I swear, with these 1976 #totp repeats, it’s the same few acts on every single episode. I’ve just seen Mud’s disco-lite track for the third time running.

Got to feel sorry for Christafari. They wrote a whole song for Charlie but still didn’t get booked for Turning Point’s Superbowl MAGA-fest.

Monthly reminder: Many people have a book in them, but it takes a special kind of freak to leave the Land of Laziness, cross the Plains of Procrastination and Insecurity Mountain, find the Blade of No One Made You Do This, and use it to cut your chest open and yank that book out.

In 2021, Paul Mason published How To Stop Fascism, and when he came to Greenbelt shortly after, he spoke to us about the urgent need for us all to come together and make ourselves bigger - not smaller - in the face of the rising far-right.

Listen to his full talk for free on our website.

I’m sure there’s a good reason why Donald Fagen and Walter Becker’s estate haven’t greenlit a re-release of Gaucho with the missing tracks added. Those fan versions of The Second Arrangement on YouTube are nice, but it would be even nicer to be able to own the restored SD versions.

If you have a policy that you don't investigate certain crimes, you are basically saying "it is legal to do this". See a bike outside a station? If it's still there in two hours, or is just cheap, you can take it. Fill your boots. There will be no consequences.

Joel Webbon is a fool. A racist fool. A Neanderthal racist fool. But given some of the crap white American Evangelical Christianity has dumped on humanity in the past (see picture), one shouldn’t be surprised by the garbage he spouts.

How does someone who scored a film about Black women fighting extreme racism to work for NASA talk such rubbish about “picking sides” and about politics being “a magic trick”?

A blast of Fela on 6 Music. Thanks for that, Mark & Stuart…

2025 is over, and I’m still none the wiser as to what an “arpaterpatip” is.

Our normal bin day is Thursday, so I think I can take it as a given that it's not happening tomorrow. #afterChristmas

We got a lovely clock for a Christmas present. This label on the box it came in has been a special joy…

I’m at the beach. But this is England in December, so I’m wearing my big coat and a woolly hat.

“Sir Idris” has a nice ring to it. Congratulations, big man.

“Okay, so she was a racist homophobe who supported a far right party. But she loved animals.”

No, no, no, no, no. I didn’t let you gaslight me into mourning Kirk, and I’m not going to let you gaslight me into mourning Bardot either.
