A brilliant tune to commemorate & commiserate the demise of the evil iron witch

Back to commemorate what would have been Thatcher's 100th birthday. We can all agree she put her stamp on the UK: crushing the working class, destroying communities, selling off our infrastructure and creating the economic climate for austerity years later. Only 1 choice: tidal.com/browse/track...

They are custodians of the biggest nothing burger of outrage in the known universe - the entire right wing ecosystem like its inbred cousin, the conspiracy theory, are little more than comfort blankets for idiots

Paul McCartne, Elton John and others signed an open letter.

This has come up in conversation today at TOTD Towers whilst talking about the currently outstanding Task. It was noted it was bound to be good as it's an HBO series and that got us wondering: are there HBO shows people wouldn't recommend?

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

English being a rip off degree is an even worse take than hating sandwiches. How can you hate a sandwich?

"O Baile Funk Vai Rolar" - Carlos Dafé & Adrian Younge

Trackotheday @trackotheday.bsky.social · 6d

Having seen so many laudatory "he's a maverick but everyone loves him and it seems to be working" articles in The Economist over the last year, we're all expecting the "we've run the numbers and it turns out he's a fucking disaster" one, any day now...right?

Today's choice seems to have been covered a fair few times but we've a soft spot for the Bill Wyman produced, mildly obscure version from Moon's Train. Couldn't feel more of its time, no?: tidal.com/browse/track...

Nearly had a row about this choice: is it Northern Soul? tidal.com/browse/track... Annnyway: here's the Five Stairsteps, so named as they were five kids from the same family and their mum thought they looked like a fight of stairs when lined up by age. It's a shame they weren't the Bannister family.
