#ArtistFave15 Smashing Pumpkins 12. Snail Gish Ummed and ahh'ed over a Gish choice, but despite all the singles and memories associated with side 1, god Snail just refuses to go back in its shell. Slow, insistent, then grandiose. Highlight from a very strong debut. youtu.be/7rGxhKC33GI?...

#MadonnaTop20 6 The Power Of Goodbye Ray Of Light Just an incredibly beautiful ballad. The production on this one too, second to none. (Well one more ;) ) youtu.be/NHydngA5C4E?...

At least 50 of the 100+ statements supporting trans women playing women’s football come from clubs and teams within the #womensfootball community. eg South London Women FC state publicly they will “continue to always welcome women+ to our club, and want to be clear this includes trans women”. 🏳️‍⚧️⚽️🏳️‍🌈

“The world cannot silently just watch while this humanitarian crisis is happening & this siege is also, of course, a continuation of many, many decades of illegal occupation.” Zeteo contributor Greta Thunberg explains how Israel bombed a Gaza Aid ship w/ drones w/ humanitarian volunteers on board.

If this is what Starmer means when he says “I get it”, heaven help us …

Does anyone else feel like Israel bombing Europe while attempting to assassinate Greta Thunberg and a humanitarian aid crew should be bigger news?

#ArtistFave15 Smashing Pumpkins 13. Jellybelly Mellon Collie... You might have been lulled in by the piano-intro and the lush strings of Tonight Tonight, but Jellybelly let you know the Pumpkins had dialled the amps up to 11. One of Jimmy's best drumming performances too. youtu.be/4KfBFdqdoZg?...

Hundreds of historians, including many high profile ones, sign a letter condemning the government's attacks on LGBT people and warning how we are in danger of repeating history docs.google.com/document/d/1...

The Greens now have nearly 200 more councillors than Reform. This is not something you'd be likely to guess from all the copiously salivating media coverage of Farage & his crew of billionaire-backed far-right chancers.

#MadonnaTop20 7 How High Confessions On A Dancefloor The peak for me of the very good Confessions.. album. Definitely my favourite 21st century Madonna album, and just love how she turns what could be world weariness into a sassy, but wise, house bop. youtu.be/CvvMMhVIDmA?...

Feel like "Greta Thunberg was about to go onto a civilian aid ship near Malta that was headed for Gaza and it was attacked by drones" should be bigger news

20 years to the day since the UK release of Nine Inch Nails' With Teeth. What a comeback, 6 years on from The Fragile. youtu.be/ra9X3i98Vgw?...

Just saw that Israel hasn’t allowed food aid into Gaza since the start of March: bsky.app/profile/yair... -please share and give whatever you can.

#ArtistFave15 Smashing Pumpkins 14. Let Me Give The World To You Ok, have now actually done the list and I could have had a top 50 and not been easier. At 14, this song was an Adore outtake which was then rerecorded for Machina II. But which version is better? Machina II: youtu.be/hkHaLwnpVxo?...

#MadonnaTop20 8 Skin Ray Of Light It was a choice between this and Sky Fits Heaven for that propulsive, introspective, techno that Madge does so well on Ray Of Light. Skin just got the nod because its chorus is just incredible. youtu.be/CKJfltE9FHc?...

#MadonnaTop20 9 Ray Of Light Ray Of Light I've seen a lot of posts for this one (and a few as the number 9 too). I have nothing else to add except that it too is an ever present on the Gym Pop playlist... youtu.be/x3ov9USxVxY?...

#ArtistFave15 Smashing Pumpkins 15. Beguiled Atum This album was not great. And I think 90s Pumpkins would have despised this song, ironically. But. It's a fucking bop. Been on my gym playlist since it came out and would be a disservice not to add it. youtu.be/KqZZ-FeZPJ0?...

It just gets worse and worse. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

🚨It's been the UK's hottest May 1 ever recorded, and not a single mention of climate change in this BBC coverage. Also nothing about climate change in the BBC Radio 4 bulletin tonight on the same subject.

Sonic Youth - Sonic Nurse.

New Radio Show: It's a joy to return to BBC 6 Music Sundays 6-8pm from June 8th The Show will be a borderless space for music across all spectrums. Open conversations with Artists we love. New experiments in storytelling & sound. Come with us.. Photography: @photobrettwalker.bsky.social

The UK has got to be the only country in the world that is politically held hostage by like 15 newspaper columnists that basically nobody reads

So basically just sort of banning people who enjoy a sport for fun really?

Good Night World

@carlyorama.bsky.social i do not know how i was not following you and I am very sorry. X

#MadonnaTop20 10 Forbidden Love Confessions On A Dancefloor Sublime stuff really. Combining some of the introspection of Ray Of Light with some gorgeous Cher-like autotune. A great chorus too. youtu.be/4O_d6JLGANk?...

#NewOrderTop30 1 Here To Stay 24 Hour Party People OST Produced by Chemical Brothers, this is an absolute slice of euphoria. Coming after 2 decades of the band, and still being able to create such moments speaks volumes.. youtu.be/Z15DIchJw7Y?...
