That album still sounds ace today.

After 6 months hiatus, last night I returned with the all new All Shook Up Show. It's sort of the same, but with the new remit of 'music to makes you move', so expect loads of music to get you bouncing and bobbing. #music #nowplaying #radio #newmusic

Ha. Was enjoying Legs and Co dancing to the song 'Hands Up' on #TOTP last night. They did indeed put their hands up.

The new Osees album is awesome sauce. As you'd fully expect it to be.

Absolute shambles. Have some principles man, ffs.

It's all just so muddled. It like they are giving messages to different audiences, but seem to forget that we all see all of it. So absolutely none of it comes across as remotely sincere, so none of it will land at all.
They are making an almighty fuck up of government.

Whilst I agree with the general point, and I'm hugely disappointed in this government, those poll questions seem massively leading tbh.

I don't do politics on here too often, but this absolutely nails it. Starmer has basically spent the last year or so pandering to, and legitimising some of the worst that this country has to offer, and this is where it ends up.

Alex von Tunzelmann @alexvont.bsky.social · 13d

I hope there will come a day soon where it dawns on someone in Starmer’s team that their strategy of communicating “Nigel Farage is right about everything but please vote for us instead” is fuelling these disastrous figures rather than mitigating them, but today is not that day

Brutal new MRP poll out today showing Reform at 311 and Labour support collapsing.

Worth reading steaming @financialtimes.com column on Starmer by @robertshrimsley.bsky.social

“Starmer can’t afford to wait for reckless Reform to implode”

At any gig where a song has a false ending, and half the crowd start applauding, one of our group will say 'it's not finished' followed by 'it's finished' when it does end.
Probably the single best contribution to tv that David Walliams has made.

Its the rapture tomorrow? Why did no one tell me? FFS, that's put a right crimp on my day.

Oap-Dub @pauloapdub.bsky.social · 19d

I saw this comment earlier, but watching on catch up, and bloody hell......

Oap-Dub @pauloapdub.bsky.social · 20d

Im feeling increasingly like I want to actively resist the intrusion of AI into my life.
Can imagine how angry creative types, like yourself, must be getting.

Oap-Dub @pauloapdub.bsky.social · 24d

These people will never, ever, vote for him or Labour, so I simply can't understand why they have pandered to them so much.

Tonight's listening. Frankie and the Witch Fingers - Trash Classic.

Relentlessly so. I voted for them, with reservations, but bloody hell man. There probably is a proper discussion to be had about immigration, focusing on both the challenges plus the huge benefits we get as a country, but it seems it's easier to just paint all foreigners as the root of all ills.

Doing some proper listening between #TOTP episodes, and have to hugely recommend this KEXP set from GIFT. A bit shoegaze, a bit krautrock, a lot excellent.

It's a real shocker.

Oap-Dub @pauloapdub.bsky.social · Sep 5

It has been a testing episode.

Oap-Dub @pauloapdub.bsky.social · Sep 5

I'm not suggesting (well, maybe) that the quality on these 1998 #TOTP is up and down, but I have started watching on a 15 minute delay so that I can skip the ropey stuff. Alas, I'm already almost caught up with the live broadcast on this one.

Oap-Dub @pauloapdub.bsky.social · Sep 1

Absolute scenes etc. Didn't one of our fans get a tattoo of him running across the pitch?

Cautiously optimistic at the moment. Get Cajuste and Akpom over the line and I'll upgrade that. Annoyingly tough start to the season though!

Oap-Dub @pauloapdub.bsky.social · Aug 1

Loved this at the time. Love it now.
