This article simply serves to give a soapbox to a handful of irrelevant Twitter posters (haters). I thought Clash was better than that.

The point around living at home into 30’s is one Scott Galloway has been talking about a lot recently. The consequences of that for the survival of the human race aren’t to be underestimated!

Thanks for sharing. He spoke so well here. I had student loans but tuition was still cheap back then and the loan interest was CPI linked and I think only kicked in upon leaving uni? I have nieces who are on Plan 5 loans and I have enormous sympathy with those on Plan 2 which are a total disgrace

Nice that you are still enjoying this one. I was happy with the pressing. A very slight warp which I can live with but excellent sonically.

Any news on this Daniel?

I know I’m getting old when my first thought was how far you are from the gents loo by standing there!

Yeah. Nothing beats Blood Orange imo.

I listened to not a lot else while on holiday in September. So it is destined to always take me back to that glorious week whenever I drop the needle!

I wouldn’t have discovered Jacob Alon by watching the Brits on ITV. For that reason alone, I’ll keep paying attention.But I admit, even as a SF fan, I felt uneasy seeing him winning “at home” last night. Mercury is a showcase of what I might have missed (despite best efforts). Who wins is irrelevant

Very ‘comforting’. That sounds like a lame adjective but it’s high praise! I’m now listening to Polica’s new one. Another band whose debut around that same time I loved and then I kind of forgot about them when life got in the way.

I enjoyed first play. Must admit I haven’t heard anything from them since My Head Is An Animal which I loved.

Love that cover! Unfamiliar with the music. Will give it a listen!
