New Panda Bear Sonic Boom one is great. Not really any mariachi or dub this time out but a lot of other good stuff and the title track is a straight up feelgood hit of summer @dominorecordco.bsky.social

Saw it was Mercury list time and braced myself for a bit of "Who? What?" cultural disconnect but... I've actually heard of most of them. I've not heard the actual records, don't be daft, but I know who's made them. Also, however good it might be, why does McCartney still need to be up for awards?
Patrick Clarke@paddyclarke.bsky.social · 7d agoEven by modern Mercury Prize standards that's a pretty dull list
Amazing. I love this song, and its incredible beautiful video so, so, much ♥️
Anthony Gregory @anthonygregory.bsky.social · 2w ago#TheN0ughtie5 47. The Knife - Pass This On (2003) ⭐️ 12 Points A song that’s still revealing its mysteries all these years later. One of the all-time great videos too
Andy Burnham absolutely speed running this whole massive disappointment thing then. New (northern) monkey, same organ grinders. Dance it up. We see you. Little bitch
Get Bieber back on to do Wonderwall is it?
Looking forward to whatever Rooney has to say about this... #Madge

Songs bubbling up in the subconscious this week - 1 Mostly for the opening wisdom, but damn what a record. Also maybe, I would have loved After The Astronaut to turn out to be a lost classic, but... it doesn't really have this power youtu.be/zHvjNYEm0mI?...

One of their absolute best I think. Pity the sleeve looks like they're about to present Saturday morning kids TV. Full ABBA enigma

Michael Fanone's take on Lindsey Graham is one of the most powerful I've read:
Police say they are looking for a white male in connection with the murder of Ann Widdecombe. Stay safe tonight, all my white friends. My thoughts are with you. I know you are not all killers and overwhelmingly desire to live in peace, whatever the vigilantes might say.
We should invent a kind of canceling where the guy goes away
I feel like it's worth mentioning just now that in 1952, Country legend Hank Williams sold 14,000 tickets to his wedding to Billie Jean Jones in New Orleans, with a matinee too! topcountry.levie.com.vn/they-got-mar...
THEY GOT MARRIED AT 3 PM. THEN AGAIN AT 7 PM. SAME BRIDE. SAME GROOM. DIFFERENT CROWD. October 1952. Hank Williams and Billie Jean Jones walked onto the stage at the Municipal Auditorium in New Orlean...

Latest on today's Manc/Brum discourse, my mom's just seen Burnham on telly and asked "is he a Brummie?"
Reading Patricia Lockwood sometimes makes me feel like I cannot myself form basic sentences, but it is a joy. Just as well she's not evangelising really.

Haven't paid much attention to Elvis for a long old while but was listening to a best of in the car. Lad could pen a tune eh? This absolute monster is 40 this year, good lord! Blood & Chocolate is, oddly, both my favourite Elvis album and the last one I care about at all... youtu.be/nfQck4k1ho0?...
