It's a miserable #BlueMonday. We're months from another holiday, it's freezing outside, and Trump's gurning mug is all over the news. Need cheering up? Look no further. youtu.be/chdNRTxeotU 🟦 Help beat the blues - please share! #bluemonday2025 #comedy #humour #neworder

BTW, if you enjoyed the video, please consider supporting the suicide prevention charity CALM, perhaps by buying this great new #BlueMonday t-shirt from @neworder... store.neworder.com/gb/new-or…

Always good to check out the purveyors of vinyl when you're abroad. Picked up the Associates first album and an Ultravox bootleg here.

Anyone know if Suzanne Ciani has been reunited with her lost Buchla yet? @ElectronicMagUK? I do hope so.
Jim Mortleman@Jimjar20 Sep 2024
OMG the airline sent Suzanne Ciani's Buchla to Budapest so she was unable to play live at Union Chapel tonight. Rescued the evening by playing a previously recorded gig through the quadrophonic soundsystem then did a Q&A. Hope you're reunited with your synth soon, @sevwave. ❤️

Just running through my holiday photos and realised this waterfall in Arnisdale reminded me of someone... 😄

Banning smoking in an outside space is the worst kind of prurient, hectoring, interfering, puritanical bullshit. No health basis to it whatsoever. Just a flat-out act of social control.

The Opening Ceremony begins. A man walks out under a spotlight, pauses, looks around. He shrugs. More spotlights ignite. Ten men, twenty. One hundred middle aged French men, all shrugging in time. An orchestral version of Ca Plane Pour Moi begins to swell. Incredible. #Olympics

Dear #CambridgeComedyGarden, I'm looking forward to tonight's gig, but had I realised that your "range of champion craft beers" amounted to 330ml cans of Brewdog at 4x ordinary prices, I would have stayed in the pub before coming. And you won't let me out now I'm in, you cunts.
