I once lost an argument with ChatGPT about Daft Punk and cultural appropriation…

Sometimes I see people like 20 tweets deep into an argument with Grok. Like, what are you doing brother? You are trying to win an argument with a vending machine.

Haven’t done a #morningmusic for a while but this is one of best. Such an emotional piece of music. Love it so much.

Just found the first 12” I ever bought, from Record & Tape (as it then was) in Camden. Thought I’d sold tbh. Kind of a banger too.

Listened this great @djhistory.bsky.social podcast while I packed up my records yesterday. Richard isn’t really unsung but his contribution should be celebrated. First met him on a trip to hear Weatherall play at the White Swan (iykyk) with a mutual mate maybe in 91/92?

Nothing more boring than packing one’s records to move house. Except maybe the concept of Balearic as a genre (its AoR with a drum machine)

Dunno if this proves anything, but I have shared hyper pop playlist with a 28 yo friend at work and my kids keep stealing my clothes…

Tyler the Creator on whether youth culture still exists. I don't know if this is completely true, but it does seem more true today than in the past.
Excerpt reads: "Perhaps it’s this particular admixture of openness and mystique that accounts for the diversity and devotion of his fans. It’s rare for an artist 15 years into his career to be at the peak of his popularity, but here he is — and today, Tyler’s fans range from middle schoolers to baby boomers. That’s a testament to his appeal, though he has his own theory. “I don’t know if youth culture exists anymore,” he says. “I think a 42-year-old and a 15-year-old could have the same humor and style.” He thinks back on himself as a teen, caught up in “Crank That (Soulja Boy)” (2007), a song that many older hip-hop heads despised. (At the time, Ice-T said that the song “single-handedly killed hip-hop.”) “And now,” Tyler adds, “it’s like, people be on Twitter, 25 years’ age difference, talking about the same thing.”" The excerpt is from a New York Times Style Magazine feature on Tyler the Creator, titled "Tyler, the Creator Always Does Things His Way"

Inspired by a Place Called Tarot, my #raveyardshift tonight is hardcore ecstasy disco bangers, aka disco for dancing on pills (not that I’ve done ofc, if my boss is reading)

First one that you all know & infamously ended MagicJase’s time on Faith fanzine (italo, lol)

Heard this Jamie XX track for the first time yesterday. It’s really nice but also sounds strangely familiar... Homeboy, Hippie and a Funkidred?

Not been around for a #raveyardshift for a minute & still between homes, so dipping my toe back in with the first tunes in this bag of unsorted disco-y stuff

Anyone got some top tips for getting bass weejuns re-soled in London? Like a nice balance between quality and price? @mrbrownetc.bsky.social maybe?

I can’t think of a more transformative purchase than my bike. Literally changed my life. If so many drivers weren’t such dickheads, it would be a dream.

Apropos of nothing, what an amazing record - Mizzell Bros are actual gods. Oh and it’s almost the weekend x

9 years ago today, Thunder celebrated its 5th birthday a Bloc, with Hunee’s first all night show in London. The sunrise over the Olympic stadium was a moment! 🌅

Watford away with the boy, our last away day before he disappears to university. Started taking him to QPR 4 seasons ago as something we could do together week in, week out. And it’s worked out better than I could have ever dreamt. He still hasn’t bought round tho… U RRRRs

Like the the Mizzell Brothers but from New Zealand in the 2020s! Will be amazed if there’s a better album than Orbits this year #morningmusic

Was bemoaning the loss of mixtapes as an act of love the other day. So I made one, kind of… If you fell in love on a French camp site holiday in the 80s, your love might have sent you this in a Jiffy bag when you got home. Euro radio & local disco bangers #mixtape

Two of the last three dates I’ve been on have been with girls who said they don’t smoke but subsequently cracked out the fags. Why would anyone lie about that? It’s like the reddest of red lines, thus a complete waste of everyone’s time 🚭😶‍🌫️
