Allow me to belatedly recommend this ace podcast that I finally finished while on ‘oliday. Not only was it full of mates and London home to so many amazing records and artists, I could quite happily listen to Bananarama chatting forever. Also, viva Colin Bell open.spotify.com/episode/40lX...
It’s coming home. It’s coming home. It’s coming, this tote full of records is coming home.

The Cher album they're on looks so shockingly shit I wouldn't be surprised if she remembers it herself.
oh the soundtrack was great. Basically a really top notch disco comp. My sister had it. Now I do.
RIP Bonnie. One of my favourite interviewees. I’d hope one day to go on this piss with you in real life rather than you encouraging me to get drunk while on our phone chat. What a woman.
Annual repost of Rob Halford knowing ‘some very rough German’ (don’t we all, dear)
Queer The Music is an award-winning podcast about the impact pop music has on LGBTQ+ culture etc and is presented by Jake Shears. Season four begins this Wednesday and has featured in the past, among others, Holly, Neil Tennant, John Grant, Self Esteem, Rob Halford and during this next run...
The Madonna instrumentals album is £3.99 on iTunes and comes with the whole original album too, which has got to be a boon for those busy homosexuals on a budget *pats bum ASDA-ly*

26 “I have been the most relevant and impactful music critic of my, and any, generation for over ten years now. There’s no music critic bigger than me who’s had more impact than me for as long as I have, consistently. And if I die tomorrow, nobody’s going to outdo that run.” (me on drugs)

The Madonna interview in Interview is amazing as are the photos, of which this one caught my eye as a homage to Performance (one of my favourite films, joint Number 1 in fact). Anyway, that's quite interesting isn't it.
SS26 I honestly didn’t think I’d liked much this year but according to the top of my head there’s been quite a bit.
Anyway it’s both Pride Month AND Father’s Day is this weekend, so allow me to recommend this critically acclaimed book which is available at all good bookshops like Gay's The Word and check @bookshop.org for numerous others and tax-dodging evil empires run by bastards too.
Kind of wild that in 1981 you could buy some of these - mostly EMI - records in WHSmith for the same price they now charge for a bottle of Diet Cola. This was BEFORE the mid-pricery of Fame which was introduced in 1982. I just saw a Fame reissue of Rattus Norvegicus for £35(!) which is just nonsense
