I've been reading the archived Music Weeks (a UK chart industry/trade publication) on and in recent days they've been uploading 1997 issues. It's pretty interesting to follow the story of how Princess Di's death derailed a Kylie album.

If you think it's a laugh to go into a LGBTQ+ venue and do this then you are a scumbag. FREE condoms and lube are provided by HIV/AIDS organisations and funded for by charity work. Don't be so fucking disrespectful.

When I worked for Jamie oliver they pulled up all the waiters for cutting the bread too thick and they were losing so much money but it was just us the barstaff bored and peckish making ourselves bread baskets with oil to soak up our hangovers

It does the double trick of info-dumping you some dinosaur exposition handy for about 50 minutes from now and also quickly establishes Grant as The Guy Who Really Hates Kids so we're fully strapped in for The Guy Who Grows To Like The Kids Eventually, Sorta arc

In the late 80s, artists here would release up to seven or eight different versions over the course of a singles chart run. That fell away when sales became front-loaded, and was limited to three formats at the start of 97.
I will never really make peace with how Mushroom UK managed to fumble this. Massive Radio One support and that video alone should've had this song in the top 5.
I've spent the last two weeks being a carer for my 92 year old nana. She's been a stubborn old lady and ended up needing looked after for a while. Wouldn't do it for anyone else.
This is her after finally agreeing to rest in bed for a while, and after getting her hair done.

Watching the moment in the chat where Melinda discusses this, incidentally I think she raises a very very pertinent point about how DC F's contribution to Star Trek is erased - it's still happening, right now, by Gene fanboys crediting everything good in Trek to him.
and they were called "female-fronted" bands, Garbage, No Doubt, Hole, The Cranberries, Elastica, Sleeper, Skunk Anansie, Echobelly, Catatonia, The Cardigans, Republica and all the alternative gays and girlies in the '90s adored them

I think there's really something wrong with people now. List something on eBay at a steal price and people will still relentlessly make insulting low offers for things worth a reasonable amount.

My favourite part of season 2 is when you realise that Livia is genuinely scared of Janice because she knows Janice *would* do her in, but Livia's own personality won't ask for help. It almost breaks through in her call to Carmela from the hospital.

The Breen, Captain Raymer, Linus being HILARIOUS. It feels like this season is what DSC does best, haven't enjoyed it this much since the second season.
Having a Kylie Minogue (1994) week. Not my go-to album, but it has two of her best songs on it ("Confide in Me" and "Put Yourself in my Place"), plus her cover of "Nothing Can Stop Us" in the miscellanea.

Hot take: I don't see how the Inquiry class fleet is worse than the mixed fleet at the end of season 3 for how small they were on screen. The sight of neither of them took my breath away like this did:

The support I've been getting all morning on my socials for standing up to the anti-trans brigade is amazing.
But honestly, I don't need it, I've always been a mouthy cunt, your support... transpeople need it. ๐
We had to say goodbye to Marley this week. 15 years old. Came back from Record Store Day to her unable to walk. She managed a brief minute on Sunday, but I knew this was the end of the road. Look at her try so hard to stay on her feet. You did it girlie. I was so proud ๐พ๐

For anyone out there who still thinks that nobody buys CDs anymore, ABBA just shifted 148,471 albums on CD compared to almost 30,000 vinyl this week. CDs still outsell vinyl 5 to 1, despite what the media report, the format is nowhere near dead.

I burnt out on her in 2012 because I felt she was just making the same album over and over again (and especially, the same lead single over and over again). I'm not entirely certain anything's changed.
@HRFMichael
I agree, it's very tedious when people claim Scotland is open and welcome without acknowledging that Scotland has a bitters, racists and bigots problem that every time a politican has tried to tackle finds out that it's vote kryptonite.
I really really hope Fiona Harvey's legal action gets thrown out. She needs a therapist, not a legal team. Netflix will simply track down everyone who's been caught in her gaze and from what I'm reading, there's many. Anybody who'se worked a bar recognises her behaviour.

They don't put digital downloads in new major label albums and haven't done for about 6 years. They want you to buy the discounted bonus track digital version that will go on sale on the Monday for another chart sale.
It's been a week today. I took myself out for a walk down the Botanic Gardens when it hit the minute that I got the call. I saw daffodils again. That's my nana. Love you ๐
