Think it were more recent than that. I was meant to start working on it just before it was discontinued. It could be distributed quickly because pre-press (which was an industrial dream if you're a print nerd and is hopefully now preserved with the Crown Jewels, or at least at Manchester Street)...

In attempting to understand why a broad range of people and musicians like Sheeran's stuff, I briefly listened to a few tracks of his and heard two lyrics that seem lodged in my head forever as the worst bits of writing I've ever discovered in any genre. “Up and coming like I'm ****ing in an...

I don't really get the thing about not being able to tell people why they got rejected because of data issues. Surely a tick box at the start should negate that. In fairness, I said I could drive when I haven't got a car, so it's probably for the best, although I could definitely have got...

Tory ratings seem to have gone up. Biden could be a gift for the Republicans. People are mental.

It's been interesting to not have the option of going to crowded events to create the illusion of not being isolated. I'll never moan about spending £3 on a cuppa to break the silence again. KTF, everyone :smile:

Broadly speaking, I think most of the singles and everything since Lyla (and plenty before) is absolute shite. Headshrinker and Columbia probably my current favourites. Liam's albums, as the Grauniad (I think) put it, just tend to sound like stuff Tim Lovejoy would listen to before 5-a-side...

Forgive me if I'm interrupting a separate chat but if you're into scrolling through Twitter until what's left of your day turns to dust, this is pretty compelling: https://twitter.com/i/lists/1240652229507526656 This is the best account I've seen for stats and analysis...

Not really. It's a nice thought but I reckon it's as misguided as saying a social levelling is happening. Off the top of my head, many environmental regulations are being relaxed as a result of the pandemic, and more people than ever will be intent on travelling - almost exclusively through...

You could try to ask Tim Spector about backdated submissions on that app. Pretty much anything he gets involved with tends to be brilliant. People can also volunteer to take part in swab and pin tests here (they get sent in t'post)...

Martin Thomas with his head at Withdean. It remains a tragedy that neither this nor Charlie's Millennium Diary are on YouTube.

I'm hopelessly biased but Malcolm Middleton did a good one. If the timestamp goes weird on this, it's at around 11:47: Jeffrey Lewis aka god did a set including a new lurgy-inspired track:

Those cancellations are more reflective of each event's dependency on revenue from crowds and imminent incurrence of most of their costs. They also aren't three-quarters of the way finished with TV deals worth the best part of a billion quid to fulfill.

New(ish) Four Tet mix

Maybe I'm biased cos Sikora has actively campaigned against the NHS in the past but I don't think he's a great source of information. I'm not sure his hope-for-the-masses schtick is gonna look wise in hindsight, long-term.

This hasn't been updated for a few weeks, but apparently the highest chance is in June: https://twitter.com/ActuaryByDay/status/1240973041351434240

Yeah, it's important to include that caveat in case people think less of you for wanting someone to not die.

Midfield General's just released a new mix: https://www.mixcloud.com/midfieldgeneral3000/ Also, oldie but a cheesy. Even though I used to routinely bung this in the middle of a set when I was characteristically bodging things, I'd forgotten about it until today... stZfWTMoYTA

Chinese people are now increasingly facing the same kind of prejudices suffered by Moslems after 9/11. There were serious hate crimes against Asians in the US as a result of the way Trump labelled the virus. Warnings about pandemics of CoV origin are nothing new and have not been heeded...

Please say this isn't true. It's impossible to tire of the fascinating 'If you are a football person' and 'Album covers, no explanation' posts.
