It gives me great joy to announce that at 3.59pm today precisely, it will be the tenth anniversary of one of the finest things ever broadcast

Absolute stunner of a record this. A pinnacle of hardcore/feminist rage punk as a form. Smart, fierce, incredible. @subpop.bsky.social

Review | PISS – You Made Me / Skin On Linen by @ouchmonkey.bsky.social "This album is incredibly well realised and powerful, a fully integrated work of art." echoesanddust.com/2026/10/piss... @subpop.bsky.social

'There’s an irony in how Stott is such a particular producer, yet the perfection he’s searching for is just the right amount of imperfection. A charming patina as the sound starts to breakdown.' Andy Stott - Late Loop buff.ly/vtuoA1z

INDUSTRIAL GROWTH - new album, out now! Stream or download the new Warrington-Runcorn New Town Development Plan album now. I’m afraid we’ve sold out of vinyl on pre-orders from Bandcamp. A lot of record stores should have copies in stock if you want a physical copy. A repress is underway!

Review | LIINES - As Shadows Fall by @ouchmonkey.bsky.social "Five tough tunes with no fat on them, As Shadows Fall, is a strong start and a fine restatement of intent." echoesanddust.com/2026/10/liin... @crackedankles.bsky.social

I'm aware of the consensus on milk but what if you just dropped a whole box of grated cheese all over the kitchen floor? What then? #emotional

Uh huh. I probably need this on an ugly fridge magnet tbh. (Lots of handy stuff in this giant thread if you're the kind of person whose brain is a dick to you)

Wangleberry@wangleberry.bsky.social · 3w ago

...and yes, even you. Again, if being a dick to yourself were ever going to work, it would have done so by now.

It's a bleak day outside, how about a lovely tune? Feels like so many people aim for this sort of thing and miss you can forget how great it can be when it hits youtu.be/KPgKuJ-aUcU?...

I can see we're all excited about Burnham taking on the big issue of, erm, 'headphone dodgers' being annoying on public transport but it's a bit like politely suggesting you might be happier if you moved your chair on the deck of the Titanic isn't it? Unenforceable nonsense. #UselessMelt

Okay the best political ad of the year is here from LA-DSA

This is starting to sound like that old familiar whine of the comfortable "what if we made a better world for nothing" Fuck sake and, as if it ever needed reiterating, fuck Wes Streeting into the abyss

REwadent Evil@ewacat.bsky.social · 3w ago

Pleased to announce that ADHD is being overdiagnosed again according to the BBC and pathetic skidmark Wes Streeting, so now - during ADHD Awareness Month no less - it's time to give it up and just be normal. Let it go. Just turn it off and get on with things www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

He doesn't like it...

Now THIS is how you write a story. Devastating.

I hardly ever pitch anything 'cos I fucking hate doing it, so I suppose I can see the appeal. But it's just embarrassing to get yer little clanker friend to do it for you. Absolute weakening behaviour.

Luke Turner@luketurner.bsky.social · 4w ago

Dear writers, please do not use AI to write/help write your pitches, they arrive in my inbox absolutely honking of data centre, please please just have original ideas and work them up yourself else really, what is the fucking point of being a writer? Getting so many of these at the moment.

When they talk about reducing red tape, remember this image.

James Murray@james-bg.bsky.social · 4w ago

The pitch here seems to be, ‘we’ll build the houses and infrastructure we failed to build during the 14 years we were in government, but we’ll do it in the most damaging and lowest quality way possible’. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Fair point.

Imagine reading a book by Suella Braverman. What sort of a cunt would do that? I bet even her husband doesn't read it.

Out today. Some new moves from the Reigns boys but continued excellence. That 'America' tune is a bit of an earworm

A bit of both, or some kind of slacker shrug that combines the two. 20 y/o "so, everything didn't go miraculously well then?" Me 'Not so much, that's not really how it works' 20y/o "Had my suspicions that was the case. Didn't kill yourself though" Me 'No. The impulse fades a bit over time'

Jennifer Jason Leigh? That's disappointing. Although I'm not sure I'd really care what she had to say about much of anything really. Same for the rest. Genocide-deniers. Bin.
