Eminently danceable night of glitchy, twitchy electro, spooky industrial grinds & ace visuals with Cabaret Voltaire at ICA playing career-spanning set. Staccato funk of ‘Easy Life’ got old lags frugging; turbocharged ‘Nag, Nag, Nag’ thrilling.

Apparently today is Beaujolais Nouveau Day. It used to be huge in the Eighties, along with Adam Ant, the SDP and Rubik's Cube.

As I recall, Le Beaujolais Nouveau tastes like bubble gum.

Jeremy Allen talks to Stephen Mallinder about The Cabs' first decade, the eternal struggle to find the right drum machine and inventing anti-fascist dance routines.

This - finally - is the definitive musical history Sheffield so richly deserves.

GROOVY, LAIDBACK AND NASTY is @danieldylanwray.bsky.social's authoritative and hugely entertaining story of the city, told through its independent artists, scenes and spirit.

Sorry to share this one more time, but it's a lovely feeling when someone describes a book in this way, and you laugh for a second or two and then you realise it's your own book. #IntoTheGroove
Just finished reading @whenisbirths.bsky.social’s excellent book Into the Groove. Highly recommended. Too many highlights to list, but I did love Justin questioning the arrest rate of The Laughing Policeman and the revelation that Barry Manilow chose NWA’s Express Yourself as his record of the week.

The government should be ashamed that its migration policies are being cheered on by Tommy Robinson and Reform.
