*my little brother is 6ft 3 and looks like a mutant Black Francis

My younger brother was obsessed with Prince so I naturally never really got into the purple one. As I get older it pains me to realise that Maula always had better taste in music than me

My haul for all those who were asking (nobody was asking)

I had a pram. Not easy, especially as the baby didn't want to remain in the pram 😂

Ah yes, the women genre (I won't name and shame because he threw in a Bernard Hermann album for a quid).

The pollen is absolutely kicking my ass this year. I can't remember a Spring like it.

catch - bingo ( viva tv ) YouTube video by happy music video

Claire has been walking around the house singing West End Girl again and it suddenly occurred to me just how similar the vibe is to Bingo by Catch youtu.be/RhwwnXZhjj8?...

I like how Jacob Elordi decided to play Heathcliff like a sexy Andy Carroll, that's just how I imagined him too

And they'd know

Maiden?

Clocks by Coldplay

So verrrry very Spursy

What a surprise that massive fucking wrongun Sharon Osbourne turns out to be a Tommy Robinson supporter

De Zerbi looks like a Felix the Cat cartoon from 1921

Trump announces reforms to accelerate access to psychedelic drug treatments President signed executive order directing FDA to expedite review of psychedelic drugs including ibogaine

This has definitely ruined drugs for me www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Aside from anything else it's staggering that he's only 51

I think he did although he didn't take kindly to Luke calling him Mr. Rascal.

Haha, I think so. Because The Sun were very pro-Darkness at the time so it figures.

Urgh, I got hammered at the Mercurys with Dominic Mohan once. He wasn't a bright lad but he was my ticket into the inner sanctum where the posh nosh and bands were. He said "The Sun's a bit of a laugh innit?" and I didn't contradict him as he handed me another drink (what a disgusting whore I was!)

A photo of the front cover of issue 1673 of Private Eye magazine, with the caption “on shelves now.” The main headline reads “HUNGARY: ORBAN LOSES HISTORIC ELECTION.” The central image shows Viktor Orbán standing on stage alongside JD Vance, both raising their arms in front of a cheering crowd with Hungarian and US flags in the background. A speech bubble reads, “Who says America can’t achieve regime change?” A strapline at the bottom reads “HUGE TRIUMPH FOR MAGA (SURELY MAGYAR? ED.).”

Hungary: Orban loses historic election

The new Private Eye is out now.

It is now six weeks since noted noise/drone musician Siavash Amini posted this from Tehran. Even with the wider Internet access problem noted, we do not know what has happened with him. Please listen to and share his music.

Ah fair play! I think it's more than esque but good that it's been noted on tQ

*In fairness I've not read any of the reviews so they might have all told you this

Other* critics won't tell you this but the new Squarepusher album sounds a lot like Frank Zappa

And so to 2026's Brigitte Bardot mixed legacy award which goes to... Afrika Bambaataa

I'm in Spain and I'm lying in bed with a fever. The delirium is pretty wild - I dreamt the leader of the free world inferred he'd nuke Iran while standing next to the Easter Bunny

I saw Bo Diddley at the same venue and the vibe was similar. Mad now to think I saw ACTUAL BO DIDDLEY!

About 22 years ago on an early summer evening at a venue in Leicester full of after work drinkers, there were two blokes in the corner, being ignored by the room, playing songs by the band Go West.

Turns out it was actually the band Go West.

Haha, brilliant. I remember my friend used to call him "that sweaty arsehole with the spanner"

The better question would be: who have you seen on the way down? I watched Mark Owen in front of about ten disinterested music industry types in a basement in on Dean Street when his career had clearly gone down the shitter (pre-Take That reformation)
