It’s so frustrating. A lot of celebrity “interviews” are just influencers desperate to “hang out” with famous people they idolize. They rarely even ask questions, to say nothing of questions pertinent to anyone but themselves or stans. It’s a real loss for culture.

not to make everything into a class /wealth issue BUT

tbh this is the thing, its just an accelerated version of every payola marketing campaign in the history of music. the frustration about only rich ppl being able to access it is the same its just made more evil and insidious by technology like everything else in the world lol

i'm happy for them!

sounds like gomez imo!

geese the very definition of music that is none of my business

Illustration with coloured pencils. Two people are sitting round a campfire at night in the dark telling spooky stories. The first person says "It's your turn to tell a scary story." The second person holds a torch under their face for spooky effect and says "Most people you know don't have library cards. But they love to tell you about mutual aid and community. And they fucking love free little libraries." The first person replies "Nooooooo!"

Imagine being a punk or an activist and not using your local public library on the reg. How embarrassing for you.

This has been going on for some time — and it's helping destroy actual journalism.

listening to tears for fears on the train thinking about when I went to see them live and the guy in front of me shazammed ‘everybody wants to rule the world’

and mark e smith playing himself

for the tribune, i reviewed the first collection of diaries from the esteemed @dickon-edwards.bsky.social – where he is both the man-about-(london) town and its chronicler. recommended!!

excited to announce that i'm going to be writing a monthly letter on film, pop culture etc goings on for the brand new lwlies weekly!!! cannot believe it tbh!!! thank u @hannahstrong.co.uk for inviting me!! sign up please!!!

Really enjoyed this, which positions JJ as a musician who just happens to make the odd film now and again, and reminded me that there are a few of those I need to catch up on.
