Never understood parents who think their kids will or should follow their taste in music. Its weird, like kids dont exist in a bubble: school, mates, tik tok. Guaranteed 2+yrs this kid will not:

My 10 year old son has no clue about modern mainstream music. He has been raised on a diet of strange. Loves a bit of Gary Numan, Drug Church and Aphex Twin. I like to pretend I'm doing him a favour, but I'm not completely sure.

I’ve really enjoyed all of these podcasts from Miranda Sawyer, recommended. This one will be good. Ted’s funny and insightful. Also plug that a subscription to The New Cue is recommended, a shortcut for old people like me and possibly you to keep across new releases.

Talk '90s to me @talk90stome.bsky.social · 6d

Oasis live return to the stage made grown men cry their heart out.

@msmirandasawyer.bsky.social speaks with @tedkessler.bsky.social about this supersonic phenomenon and what those Oasis live shows truly meant to their fans.

Would you be getting tickets to Live ’26? 👀

Back to McDs - was originally just him and then he asked me to come up. Mostly on Facebook I think, am not on there. Sold out quite quickly I think.

Mate and I used to do club in Greenock early 90s. Did it again last night, in Town Hall as one of his former students does ents bookings there. Was a lot of fun.

The Smiths is a band.

Stereogum @stereogum.bsky.social · 11d

CBGB Festival is happening under the K Bridge in Brooklyn today with OG punks Iggy Pop, the Damned, and Marky Ramone alongside torchbearers like the Linda Lindas and Scowl (on the Ed Hardy Young Punks Stage).

Here’s Johnny!

It really is. "On some level, we’re nostalgic not only for ‘Wonderwall’ and ‘Supersonic’ as songs, but for a time before the broader cultural malaise they inspired became quite so inescapable"

Really? It reads a lot like the same 'why do idiots like this band?' Suede fans have been writing since 1995. For fans of the False Consciousness school of Marxism. People like Oasis, its fine.

I'm glad Sadiq is the Mayor of my city.
There's a reason he keeps winning elections.

Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan @london.gov.uk · 23d

We must unite against those who seek to divide us.

I know many people, particularly from London's diverse communities, are feeling extremely worried following the events this weekend.

It takes me back to how I felt growing up in the ’70s and ’80s, when
far-right political parties marched on our streets.

The leaders of the far-right are once again attempting to hijack our flag, with minorities being intimidated and fear, hatred and division being sown.

As Londoners, and as proud Brits, we must unite to reject the far-right
– just as we have many times before.

But it’s going to take a huge effort from us all – from people of all races and backgrounds, who are willing to stand up for our British values of equality, inclusion and mutual respect.

As Mayor, I'll continue to do everything I can to challenge the far-right and all those who peddle the politics of fear and division.

I urge other politicians and Londoners to do the same.

MAYOR OF LONDON, SADIQ KHAN

Great album. Way I read it was the main guy Luke’s spin off band Empire of the Sun was way, way more successful so he just stuck with that. 1billion+ streamers can’t be wrong, to paraphrase the Elvis line.

Difficult decision for Beaton that. Not the decision, the giving of it.

Just taken delivery of this reproduction poster from @monorailmusic.bsky.social . Used it as entree to explain in detail to kid the Factory records approach to providing catalogue numbers to things as well as records. Started with 'what is a catalogue number?'. Properly bored her shitless. Skills.

The (Heavenly) Social, off Portland St. We did my wife’s 50th birthday on a Saturday downstairs. Was more than that but not hugely more so probably haggle given Tuesday. Also, if you just need upstairs bar might be cheaper.
