On The Record runs it close. Clearly political discussion programmes on Sundays needed something about them to keep the hungover awake.

The expansion continues! The bookshop at North London Hospice
High Barnet now has a new NEW ARRIVALS section (although there is an entire bookcase full of new arrivals). Come visit, come by! Most pbs a £, most hardbacks, £2. Many treasures within

Finally! I’ve broken through the glass ceiling for old, white men hoping to work in animation.
Be sure to tune in. As I tell all my lovers, this might just be the best 20 seconds of your life.

🧵Thread. I collect photos that people took of their TV screens (in the days before video) because they wanted to capture a historical moment, or at least something that meant something to them.

Luckily for me, I'm still cool and up with the current trends. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to upload a new MIDI file to my MySpace page.

I loved MTV Europe when my family first got Sky, that heady mix of good early 90s pop and half the adverts being German brands trying desperately to be trendy. It's an injustice that Pip Dann was never chosen to host #TOTP.

Looking at the charts for that week, they could be playing Jayou by Jurassic 5. They're only at no 56, but still. Better than what we've had, and if they'll play songs going down the chart all bets are off. #TOTP
