@simon_price01 @FBL_JohnWilcox I was at the interview and can assure you that it was most definitely not a ‘barbed comment’, it was literally an observation about modern pop in general. Modern discourse has made impossible for anyone to voice an alternative opinion without being condemned.
Huge thanks to @simon_price01 for coming to the Chapter Two @Hospicstfrancis book shop in Chesham last night and talking to me about his great book Curepedia - an A-Z of @thecure: it was a really fun night. The book is on @WhiteRabbitBks and there are signed copies in the shop.
“Fuck Robert Palmer and fuck rock and roll!” - Simon Gallup, a festival in Belgium, 1981. “How much is this one?” - Simon Price, a charity shop in Chesham, 2024. (Seven quid.)
On my way to Chesham on a currently-privatised train, swotting up with my much-travelled copy of #Curepedia. See some of you there!

As a lifelong Labour supporter, I've lost count of the ways Starmer has disappointed, even disgusted me. However, renationalising rail is a policy I can 100% get behind. High on my wishlist. For social mobility you need actual mobility. Cheaply, for all. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…
It's gonna be a challenge to work up a coherent DJ set out of Pixies, 808 State, Faith No More, Bomb The Bass, My Bloody Valentine, Public Enemy, Cure, Wedding Present, Happy Mondays, Fuzzbox, NIN, Mudhoney, The Mission, Carter USM and Ministry... but if anyone can do it, we can.

The next @spellboundclub is our Late Eighties Special at @KomediaBrighton on Sat 11 May! Playing pure 1985-89 tunes for one night only. Indie Pop, Baggy, EBM, Grunge, Shoegaze, Industrial, Grebo, Acid, Hip Hop, Goth... Tickets komedia.co.uk/brighton/club/… Info facebook.com/events/7914796…
@simon_price01 Have fun! My copy of #Curepedia sits high on my bookshelf and looks darn good there ❤️ One of my all time favorite reads!
Anyway, enough about nepo babies and brioche. I'm doing a #Curepedia event TOMORROW in Chesham, Bucks (reachable from London, top of the Metropolitan Line). Really looking forward to this.

I'm lo-key fascinated by photos of bands where one hasn't fully committed to the image - anyone got anything better than the The Exploited 1990? 1/?

I published my "Can We As A Culture Resolve To Be More Normal About Taylor Swift In 2024?" column in the first week of January and I think I could write an entirely new column using only examples of things that have happened in the past three weeks. uproxx.com/pop/taylor-swi…
@simon_price01 I think algorithms have an awful lot to do with all this.. Most people are only really listening to what an algorithm tells them to rather than actively looking for music outside their comfort zone. This alongside nothing in media (TOTP for eg) that features all genres 1/2
@simon_price01 At the time her film was announced, I made the mistake of pointing out that a regular punter could go about their day completely unaware that Swift was the biggest pop star on Earth Inundated with replies informing me that Taylor Swift is, in fact, the biggest pop star on Earth
@simon_price01 I can remember the lyrics to songs from the 70s and 80s that I didn’t even like because the songs were just there - on the radio, the TV. We all heard them. This has changed.
@simon_price01 It’s genuinely astonishing how so many people can’t seem to read and understand a short post. ‘So what you’re saying is…’ ‘no, what I’m saying is literally in the post above you, which you just read!’ aaaargh!

@simon_price01 Funnily enough I like TayTay and old PSB for similar reasons. The music isn’t groundbreaking but I like the way the melody follows the wording and the sad/ironic mood they both do so well. “Being Boring” and “So Long London” play my heartstrings in the same way.
@simon_price01 That's why you should mute the conversation at the first sign of whining.
