That memotone album is glorious, one of my favs of the year for sure

Ha yeah it's mad innit - lost count of the number of messages I've sent saying 'hello, I like what you do. Will you do it for this thing that you'll probably like, and I'll pay you?' and just had no response. Nobody ever sends me messages like that!

I’d definitely have gone to see them on tour!

Not sure why I looked it up, but a while back I found TCTC's singer does some kind of corporate consultancy thing now. His LinkedIn doesn't seem to mention that he was on Top Of The Pops once!

Some gems in there! Bit later maybe but, The Cooper Temple Clause were pretty good!

Don’t think Oceanside quite count as they did okay, but I always thought they should have been massive. They were like a stadium band playing in pubs.

Not only is he needlessly, performatively cruel (see also: removing the child-friendly murals) but he comes over as extremely cynical. It all feels so inauthentic - surely if/when he gets the leadership the Reform lot will see right through him.

He was also born in Wolverhampton which makes it even worse/weirder (we went to the same school 😞)

Realise I may have the wrong platform for this.
