  • soulcitizen said:The Tories have a majority so unless a bunch of them rebelled all the opposition parties couldn't win the vote last night, and only two rebelled. Liberals abstained. Scots are probably most cheesed as SNP sided with Labour against a…
  • Pretty much every last word of this is depressingly dead-on. Whilst I can't make any claims for the soundness of the analysis itself, nor can I make any claims against it. And what happened in the Commons last night? Parliament voted to cut …
  • Returning to the Corbynite Maneuver for just a brief moment, this excellent piece by Brit-in-exile (and former film critic for The Face) Anthony Lane on the New Yorker site acts as a first-rate primer for any non-Brits who may be listening in and wo…
  • skel said:Great post Doc, and your bro eloquently posits much of my own thoughts. Nah, that's all me, that. Obviously I didn't make that clear. Me and R Kid don't quite see eye-to-eye on this, although I hope it won't take too hard a lesson fo…
  • First of all; Rodgers out. Let's get that over with. Secondly, what follows is the slightly edited text of my side of an FB convo with my younger brother, who doesn't share my somewhat pessimistic view of Labour's future. You're getting the C…
  • I have a mate back in London who knows him, although I haven't seen him for a few years. I'll see what I can find out. The obvious conclusion is that Netflix are offering more money and a bigger budget, whereas C4 probably wanted more of a Br…
  • A friend who's been hosting his long-running music podcast on Soundcloud for at least a couple of years got locked out the other week.
  • Season 3 to debut on Netflix?
  • Fix your links, dude.
  • And this is why all those people who rode for the Gaye estate over that bullshit Blurred Lines case because they didn't like Pharrell and/or Robin Thicke need to STFU and just eat that bag of dicks. Be careful what you wish for, dudes, because very …
  • LOL-igans. The "who are ya?" chants are particularly desperate. What else to add about the storied, generations-old, deep-rooted rivalry between a club founded in 2013 and another founded in 2006? Now we know who went to see Green Street 2, o…
  • discos_alma said:b/w Not very encouraged that Sakho wasn't even on the bench. On his way out? I do hope not. I'd like to think Rodgers has learnt a few lessons, particularly concerning the depth of his squad, following a close-season in…
  • DOR said:Can I be a little bit excited? http://streamable.com/s1wn One should never read too much into the pre-season, but I'm feeling surprisingly positive about next weekend. A couple against Stoke will buy Bentekkers a bit more goodw…
  • This isn't so much a song as an early 90s Avirex-hoodie-and-black-Tims headnodder with a couple of girls vamping away on top, but it's got a nice summer evening feel to it.
  • Is the Strut back, then? Can we get an adjudication here?
  • DOR said:Crazy money for Muller. I doubt it would happen. Is Man U's new strategy just to take on the German national team for their own? It would probably work better than REDS trying to bring over the whole of Southampton. Comfort-blanket si…

  • I have no strong feelings one way or another about Action Bronson, but I do think it's funny he'll clap back and carry on clapping back when it's some skinny little black girl coming at him. A grown man pulls his card, though, and boom, his arse goe…
  • PATX said:"Scott Storch just delivered me pizza" Not actually beyond the realms of possibility.
  • Duderonomy said: Hmmm, more annoyed that Man U are able to spend their way back into contention so easily after the gift that was David Moyes. £150 million last season on transfers, another £80 million or so this season... ridiculous. …
  • DOR said:Yeah. When I mentioned PR stunt. I didn't mean by Taylor. I meant by Apple and Taylor... For the new Apple Music service. And we have a winner.

  • PatrickCrazy said: yeah im sure taylor swift did it all for those huge streaming buxxxxx. is it so hard for you to believe that a young and talented woman decided to fight the good fight against an exploitative corporation?
  • prof_rockwell said:I find it interesting that it's being positioned that she alone made this decision, as if her record label or publishing company had no say in it whatsoever. I don't think it was done unilaterally either, but... her record …
  • Everything ain't for everybody.
  • Like I said elsewhere, certain world leaders need to work on getting Taylor Swift on the payroll as a consultant, because if you've got a regime change project on the slate, or a bombing campaign or some other bullshit policy that's equally controve…
  • A very classy gesture. Thank you.
  • A friend of mine reckons Ornette invented punk-funk-no-wave-disco-not-disco about five years before anyone else. Not sure I entirely agree with that, but he may have a point.
  • What with Zero Time getting bumped, and now this, it's been a great week for revisiting the classics.
  • RAJ said: Everything about this picture is just wrong! P.S. Rinked Jeff Beck - Wired!? Does anyone else still do this when they find copies of Endless Flight in the bins?
