"Terry Hall’s vocals were often recorded in two separate takes, one bored and one angry, then mixed together ... They embody the small-town feeling of stretches of boredom shattered by sudden violence." Ian Penman on @danielrachel.bsky.social's Too Much Too Young. harpers.org/archive/2025...

📽️ How much have the US and others given in aid to Ukraine? Who's been the most generous? How does it all compare with previous conflicts? And what's with Donald Trump's money-for-minerals deal? All the answers in my primer, this time with bonus extra charts 🤓 www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0B4...

I’ve done two things that should be done more often. 1) a decent walk in The Cheviots 2) with an old friend I haven’t seen for ages (not pictured, that’s the dog) It’s time to get on with stuff!

Goodbye Jerry Butler, one of my absolute favourite singers. So warm and expressive. I bought this LP when I worked at Our Price in Epsom in 1984, and I've been in love with his voice from that day on. His collaborations with Curtis Mayfield, then Gamble/Huff, all gold www.youtube.com/watch?v=dl74...

Richard Young's 1978 portrait of the Jam outside Centre Point. Now its wildly expensive, lavishly beige apartments, a private club and residents' "wellness spa". But there's a framed print of this in the lobby, which is something.

This is terrific. I spent so much of my reporting career watching the process of our criminal justice system unfold. To hear this account is so revealing. Exceptional work from @joannahs.bsky.social and all involved.

This extraordinary piece ends with a plaintive question about whether anyone wants to hear a rich heir from a powerful family complain about his father. For the avoidance of doubt, yes. Yes I do.

Lessons learned in series one and listened in private to avoid embarrassment. Ended up looking up Charlie Drake lyrics for which @quantick.bsky.social is squarely to blame.

I’ve just gone past the point outside York on the train where my GP called me with the ‘I need to see you urgently’ after a scan. October ‘99. All done in a blur but my god, the worry. I remain a defiant monobollocker. God bless the NHS #worldcancerday

John Prescott’s coffin has arrived at Hull Minster for his funeral. Appropriately, the hearse was a Jag, as is the family’s car. A knowing wink you suspect. Two Jags to the end.

This @thequietus.com piece is terrific and debunks the 45 year old myth that one of my school’s (many) hards is pictured at The Specials Lyceum gig. And it’s always good to dig out the 45’s

one of the joys of having a column is the ability to say "actually, this story needs to be told and I don't give a shit if nobody else gives a shit". with that in mind, here's a column on jomel warrican, the west indies' fifth-most famous spin bowler www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/j...

What a programme! Betjeman's melancholy self-deprecation; the brilliant musical interlude; the fierce argument about unions and strike action; the glorious poetry reading (at 1'20"). All on BBC 1, prime time, Saturday night. Don't tell me British TV hasn't dumbed down in the last fifty years ...

Sam Moore has died and if you're under the age of 50, maybe you have heard of one or two of the iconic Sam & Dave hits. But man, were their live 1960s performances just smoking. Like this 7+ minute version of "Hold On, I'm Coming," backed by Booker T & the MGs youtu.be/Fowldx4hRtI?...
