Would love it if YouTube could actually recommend a rock critic channel where every video isn’t just “Kasabian are shit now coz they sacked their frontman for beating his wife”

Been watching a lot of the newer comedians recently, and based on their hard work I’ve been able to update my list of contemporary references to write jokes around. Thanks all. x
Lads, I don’t care if ADHD is fake or not, just help me find my keys or you’re not an ally
Look, you can slag off Burnham for being slow on the climate crisis, but come on, the lad's been busy. Those Stone Roses albums won't rank themselves.
Bet those people who keep making "Did Diane Abbott do the figures" jokes about political polls are the same people who respond to memes that say things like "What's 13 x 7? If you get this question right you're 160 IQ"
Really bothers me that the Subway Takes guy has 100 whole percents he can use for agreement, yet only ever uses two of them
Every Backrooms video on YouTube be like: Urban Explorers: We love exploring Shit IKEA: Oh yeah? Well explore me Urban Explorers: Okay [explores and dies, probably]
How important is it to run a comedy gig if you're a comedian? As someone who's never done it myself, I have some thoughts on this, and these can all be found in this new Medium article I've written. Enjoy! medium.com/p/319f93661a71
Wrote a new article. This is a cautionary tale for stand-up comedians. A story of how one comic's hubristic attempts to organise his comedy material efficiently resulted in a document so terrifyingly uncanny that it almost made him gave up stand-up entirely. medium.com/@ianlane_108...
In light of some of the “they’re all as bad as each other” rhetoric I’ve seen going around recently, I feel compelled to share this old Webcomic Name comic for some reason…
“I knew exactly what the Palestine Action activists would look like before I even saw the photo” said a bunch of blokes on Facebook who look exactly how you’d expect

Been rewatching the early Buffy seasons recently and the most unrealistic thing about that show is the idea that teenagers would actively go to a bar to dance to Morcheeba

The last of my 2025 list vids is up: the best albums, EPs, deluxe editions and compilations that had some notable focus on remixes to them. But that would be a terrible title, so I'm just going with Best Remix Albums Of 2025. youtu.be/xg8IJOa7nd4?...

The second of my 2025 review videos is here, with the Best Remixes list. So many good stuff released last year, I couldn't cover it all in anything smaller than Top 40 form. Feedback is welcomed as ever. Enjoy! youtu.be/aZhNcvFI3D4

This is great stuff, and if we had any taste we would have heard these and played them for you. But we didn't, so you should watch this instead.
Ian Lane@toxicshamesquadron.bsky.social · 8mo agoSo yeah, it's mid-January. And speaking of mid, I just released a video about some remixes I heard in 2025 that were worse than mid. Enjoy! youtu.be/H1n5mhSf-KE

My unachieveable goal for 2026 is to make something as good as this photo I took when cat-sitting Bella
Not wishing any of you a Happy New Year unless you promise me you’re not going to squander it this time
For my last review of 2025, we're looking at the new queen of sample-based dance pop, PinkPantheress, who celebrated her breakout mixtape Fancy That with a star-studded 22 track remix version titled Fancy Some More? But will you? youtu.be/lqQWe2eeP9s

An absolute feast of tracks for the last Ruffled Mix before Christmas, plus a completely unmixable post-rock song that I've been forced to try and mix and am in no way worried about breaking the flow with whatsoever. 2pm on Twitch today, come investigate. x www.twitch.tv/toxicshamesq...
Bronski Beat's 1984 debut The Age Of Consent mixed foreboding dark electro with Jimmy Somerville's unique countertenor to paint a both bleak and uplifting picture of homosexual life in 80's UK. This year the album's final remix packaged Forbidden Fruit dropped. Review here: youtu.be/WNvatorwPOQ

This haircut took two hours because I do not understand basic hairdresser terminology, so of course I’m going to post it
Finally getting around to completing some of the Remix Review Guy reviews I wrote and recorded in the summer. Firstly, Madonna's Veronica Electronica - a somewhat tardy and blinkered reimagining of her 1998 curveball Ray Of Light: youtu.be/fuikYjQoBwU
Slower than a Ray Of Light: how Madonna's "Veronica Electronica" misses the point

Gonna start a band called 2025 Anyone, so that we get free publicity in the YouTube comments of other people's songs. Obviously we'll have to break up at the end of the year tho
