OTD in 1966: Warhol becomes the most famous artist in America
A message from Bernard: lnk.to/niRHOvaB Photo by Warren Jackson
On this day in 1976 the Sex Pistols played the Nashville and there was a fracas. A few days later the NME printed a letter by Neil Tennant describing the event. Source: Phil Singleton's site philjens.plus.com/pistols/pistol…
Bought OTD in 1971: a welcome blast of needed energy. You get Danny Whitten, Jack Nitzsche, Nils Lofgren, the presiding presence of NY. Not a duff song here (11 including a future #1) but Beggars Day, Downtown, Dirty Dirty, I’ll Get By, Gone Dead Train 🔥
@JonSavage1966 Robert “Bobby” Cutler was the closeted gay man who drafted Executive Order 10450, which prohibited the federal government from hiring gay and lesbian people, and set the Lavender Scare in motion. The EO remained in full force until 1973. theguardian.com/books/2018/dec…
Published at the height of the Lavender Scare, the McCarthyite persecution of homosexuals, an early issue of the homophile magazine One from April 1953
Bought OTD in 1969: their peak. First side has Save and America but side 2 is cracker after cracker: witty, pointed, stoned, tuneful and Beatle obsessed. I never used to like Mrs. Robinson much but now think it’s amazing
Bought OTD in 1971: not reckoned much now but one of the best Dead LPs. Side 1 is literally the sound of LSD. Heavy air
for the new(ish) April issue of @Lit_Review I commissioned a number of pieces, including Deborah Levy on Bowie, Rosa Lyster on creative non-fiction, @JonSavage1966 on Pulp, @mjohnharrison on Oyamada, @rwilliams1947 on Kind of Blue, @chris_power on HGarner literaryreview.co.uk/current-issue/…
Bought OTD in 1969: proper first wave UK psych - the product of the getting it together in the country ur-myth. Very found of this - some great jazzy pop songs, a convincing title jam, and I like Dave Mason’s goofy explorations
Bought OTD in 1970: his first album, before the saccharine took over. Concise tuneful songs about pop stardom, femme fatales, and getting an erection. Side 2 is the pick, with the title track, Katmandu and Lilywhite
Bought OTD in 1969: the toughest, hardest Brit R&B lp to date. No quarter asked or given. Mystic Eyes is the perfect opener - a live jam captured in the studio - but my vote goes to the mega reverbed Diamond and the bitter London song, You Just Can’t Win
Buzzcocks, Johnny Moped, Wire, X-Ray Spex and Smak's gig at the Roxy reviewed by Jon Savage in Sounds 16th, April 1977. Pics by Gus Stewart. @Buzzcocks @johnnymopedreal @WireHQ @JonSavage1966
Bought OTD in 1969: cheap. Pretty terrific soul/Stones/Byrds hybrid with a top 40 hit and intense, punk energy. Picks: Signed DC, Mushroom Clouds, Gazing, Can’t Explain. Surf instro Emotions was used in Medium Cool, great film about 1968 Chicago riot

Bought an album. Always loved, never owned. In my daily guitar practice I am obsessed with the mysteries of the suspended chord. This album is its motherlode.
The game changer. It doesn’t have their best songs, it isn’t their most innovative. But,Capitol couldn’t mess with the tracks,it’s got a Pop Art cover, the lyrics are included. Everything about it screams important. The moment Pop music becomes an art form. The album era begins…

27 April 1910 | A Polish man, Tadeusz Powalisz, was born in Poznań. A teacher. In #Auschwitz from 5 April 1941. No. 11312 He was shot in the camp on 14 June 1942.
Someone made this to troll me but I think I look as cute as fuck tbh.
We name names. This is Judge Amy Berman Jackson. This hasn't yet been reported but today she sentenced a climate activist to two months of prison for smudging washable finger-paint on a piece of glass enclosing a statue. Judge Jackson invoked MLK in her decision. (1/7) 🧵
We had fun playing out at the #PetShopBoys Q&A last night @TheJohnRylands in Manchester. It was great to meet a few listeners too - thanks for saying hello. I now have to get down to editing season 3 in time for the first episode on Friday. (G)
Two final things from the Q&A last night. 1) A fantastic introduction from @chris_pressler who shared his own personal story of the role #PetShopBoys played growing up in Northern Ireland. 2) there are no ‘current’ plans to perform the album with an orchestra (my Q). (G)
Finally got permission yesterday to visit the school used in Lindsay Anderson's If.... (1968). Really great visit, especially as we found which bit of the roof was used in the final scene. Full article of the visits will be on the BFI's website next month.
26 April 1925 | A Czech Jew, Jiří Teller, was born in Prague. He was deported to #Auschwitz from the #Theresienstadt ghetto on 18 May 1944. He did not survive.
Britain is so much better at integration and gets way more benefits out of its immigration than e.g. Germany. It will always remain a mystery to me why Sunak thought his Rwanda plan would be an election winner. It doesn't really ring a bell with most of Britain.

Please join me in wishing Cricket (the dog Kristi Noem shot to death) a blessed journey to the land of beautiful puppy dog souls. 💔
27 April 1910 | A Polish woman, Stanisława Katarzyńska, was born in Grodzisk near Ojców. A tailor. In #Auschwitz from 11 July 1942. No. 8551 She was evacuated to Ravensbrück and liberated there.
Why the fuck is the BBC so obsessed with this Kate Andrews? She's now on #bbcaq just two days after being on Politics Live pedaling her right wing shite. Economics editor .... my arse. She couldn't count her thumbs without an abacus.
