So Philip Glass just joined TikTok. He only has like 4 posts and they’re simply him in what I assume is his living room playing the piano. First comment on one I saw was “your piano is too close to the fireplace, you’ll dry it out” and if that’s not the internet in a nutshell I don’t know what is.

It's world book day! Up and down the land, children are traipsing into school dressed as Ivan Denisovic. From The Grapes of Wrath to the Poddington Peas we love a book - and a bookshop - over at heykidsrocknroll.etsy.com
Bookshop model kit in stock in our etsy shop.

Hey folks! This Saturday sees the first ‘Carshalton Record Fair’ organised by our mates at @logofiasco.bsky.social and ourselves over at Cryer Arts…It kicks off at 11am till 5pm so if you fancy some serious crate digging then come on over…There’ll be plenty of magic in those racks! See ya there! 🚀😎❤️
One lovely aspect of social media is meeting like-minded people who love artists that are a bit ‘different.’ With that in mind here’s Johnathan Richman who always makes me smile. The ‘guitar solo’ here cracks me up.

He can dress it up as a dreamy, romantic ballad all he likes, but when Ronan Keating sings When You Say Nothing At All, he's basically saying "shut your yap, woman".
I still live in fear of the Chelsea Smilers.

I really like Colossal, feels like it's a film that's finding it's following over time.

I don't know how @heykidsshop.bsky.social gets their ideas, but their products are truly inspired! Some fantastic left-field gift ideas that you won't find anywhere else!
😊 thank you very much!

Gone mad.
oh! that's great! (huh, maybe I'll do a pop-up card or something!)
I'm looking forward to reading this. Also, it's given me an idea for a very dubious taste diorama!

In Epsom today at the Horton Arts Centre craft market. The heykidsrocknroll.etsy.com stall is fuelled by coffee, pastries and an insatiable desire for CRAFTS! Come & say hi if you're local!
Comedian Linda Smith
It’s 20 years since Linda Smith left us.
Such a unique comic voice. So dazzling in everything - JAM, Clue, Brief History of Timewasting… effortlessly witty and regularly speaking truth to power (and taking the piss out of Boris seemingly weekly)
I was absolutely gutted and still am to be honest.
Macro photo of a brown stink bug in face view on a leaf, guarding a tightly-clustered bunch of eggs that are shaped and colored exactly like a full tray of dark beer with foam on top.
Finally, the bug is back with a round of the Guinness.
You can’t just technology yourself out of a problem that technology got you into.
Start your Tuesday cheerful with this evidence of the life-changing work of @londoncentric.media. Incredible stuff.
Blog Update: The Smiths "Ask" topped the NME Indie Charts in November 1986 and became one of their biggest singles. It's one of the few optimistic, uptempo, dancefloor jigs in their catalogue. Did it offer good advice to teens, though? Depends, I suppose...

Kenneth Williams. How best to mark his centenary today? Here are all the 'Julian and Sandy' sketches from BBC radio's 'Round the Horne,' written by Marty Feldman and Barry Took, and co-starring High Paddick and Kenneth Horne. Nothing funnier has ever been broadcast. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5l-3...
This is an incredible "check out Get Lucky, sound of the summer" vibe.
