As a long-time @LRB reader, it’s phenomenal that @blgtylr’s first piece for the paper is a sprawling take on Zola’s Les Rougon-Macquart, a task I’ve been delightedly following on this cursèd site for the past two years. Consider this a hearty endorsement of all parties involved.

Sparks’ 8th studio album was released on March 2, 1979. Recorded in early 1978 & produced by @giorgiomoroder, the record was an initially hard sell to labels and critics, but has since gone to be an undisputed classic in electronic music history

What I’m suggesting is that we have the kind of relationship with the community in which we are a public service and want to be a part of your life regardless of whether you’re giving us money.’
I approve of this thread!!!
Today marks the 30th anniversary of one of my all time favourite albums, and probably one of the most important of my teenage years, So Tough by @bobpetesarah. And though noone entertained my arguably stupid idea to do dub versions, I still love it dearly, so here's a thread...

On my first official day working in London, I just happened to stumble on a lovely social video shoot @BarbicanCentre with Tai Murray @xtaizy ahead of her performance tomorrow night … really brought back the memories of all our fun content creation moments @nycballet.
