I don’t think I’d appreciated how wonderful a lot of the deep album cuts are.
The Art of Falling Apart by Soft Cell contains so many great tracks, honourable mentions for: The Art of Falling Apart, Loving You Hating Me and Kitchen Sink Drama.

On 22 January, GB News presenter Josh Howie repeated a homophobic slur linking the LGBTQ+ community to paedophilia. This is offensive, wrong and unlawful. Join me and @GoodLawProject to file a complaint to Ofcom :point_down: action.goodlawproject.org/ofcom-stop-g... #homophobia #transphobia

After losing my dad I struggled to listen to #music. I love the #1980s and found a number of #songs I hadn’t listened to before and now love.
I’m going to share one track a day. 27) International by Thomas Leer #parentloss #parentlossawareness #grief
A reminder: LGBT folks aren’t an “ideology” or “agenda.” We’re people. Some of us are talented. Some of us are nice. Some of us are weird. Some of us are annoying. Some of us do bad things. But we all deserve to thrive in a society that doesn’t force us to justify our existence or debate our rights.
Come and join me for this beastly two-parter!
Thanks so much. Music has always played a huge part in my life, and it’s healing to discover 80s music new to me, hence the series.
