Roger’s new songs growing a little more on me this week. Hints of those earlier solo albums still there. Always go back to Queen in Sept… & like this quite a lot. Maybe it’s because I have been on a massive Opeth jag of late, and this couldn’t be more different!

Sigh. Thanks Ashfield Labour Party. 😒
Lee Anderson: I can't answer questions on the allegations because Reform has started a full internal investigation
Ranvir Singh: Who is leading the investigation?
Lee Anderson: I don't know because it hasn't started yet

Will have to dust off the Ken Burn Country Music documentary series (again) in memory of #Dolly. An exceptional human in so many ways, first and foremost as a musician though.

Dolly Parton was a true music great and clearly a thoroughly decent person. Jolene didn’t stand a chance. Nick Cave would give his red right hand to write a song as dark and brilliant as this. youtu.be/b7nbNNxsnGQ?...

I have Lee Anderson as an MP entirely becsuse of the complacency and ineptitude of the local opposition parties. And frankly, going on walking through town lately vs visiting Skeg, I am picking Skeg every single time. Outrageous attitude.
Nice one, Unison, take the piss out of the town many of your members love visiting.

Anyone walking through Nottingham city knows that whilst this problem is appallingly rife, desperate & distressing for the homeless people, it also 100% actively puts people off shopping there. Support & housing for these people will also support economic growth as well as be morally essential.
I just knew we'd get this bollocks.
Farage - like the Telegraph- doesn't want progress or anything to improve he just wants Britain to sit in a miserable slump in which he can holler constantly about "migrants" and drink pints in slow motion videos with people who pine for WW2.

Hey does anyone on here know of a small flat or room to let in or near Ennis (Ireland)? It would be for a clean 40-yr old male who has a job and is quiet. Needs for October, but sooner is fine as well. I would greatly appreciate it if you can message me or spread the word if you know of something.

What's the best three album run from a band?
(the correct answer is Moving Pictures, Signals, and Grace Under Pressure by Rush, but I'm excited to learn second place)

I mean, ANY run of Queens albums up to and including News of The World would easily qualify, for me.

I have been to many stunning places over the decades, and around the planet - but there is something very special about the Peak District and the Derbyshire Dales that makes my heart sing. One of the most beautiful places on the planet. And less than an hours drive from my door! 💚⛰️🌳

Honest to god, if I ever cancel my TV licence, it will be in part because of that interminable and incessant plugging of the Fury blokes podcast. Christ, it’s so wooden, you expect it to start sprutting leaves - and THATS the best they could cut and use to advertise it???? 🚮
