NOEL GALLAGHER TEXTED BOB GELDOF THE MEME THAT SAID ‘sorry, while you were waiting in the queue, Oasis have split up’ 😭😭😭💀

This one

Edit: clips from Rockonteurs. Here is Gary Kemp talking about sending Bob Geldof the meme only to hear he'd already been sent it by Noel himself

And in case you're interested, Here is Guy and Gary's entire chat about Oasis, talking about the significance of this reunion, lineup speculation, the brothers, urm, ticket prices and of course this meme :)

that Elis and John Radio X episode where they just casually discover a not-yet-blown up Dua Lipa rehearsing downstairs from their studio, thinking ‘their band name’ was Dua Lipa. It still blows me away.

girl shut your face, I have Audacity. FOSS forever. Go. Away.

I shouldn’t be surprised by the James Murphy-Lol Tolhurst-Budgie collaborative song Los Angeles! After all, James was the first guest on their Curious Creatures podcast, and they liked talking to him so much they brought him right back on for the second episode to include more of their chat on the pod.

It's here it's here it's here! I spoke to the hosts and moderators of @desi-lgbt-fest, about queerness in South Asia, about art, sharing experiences, representation, and what a beautiful and unique community has evolved around this blog that began a year ago.

They also dropped some queer media recommendations (both desi and non-desi), which I'm gonna delve into. (All the recommendations are listed in the podcast description, if you want to peek back at them later)

Here's the full 50-minute chat, available now! It sounds so good, and it was such a pleasure talking to them! :)

This week's show is out! As literally anyone who's hung around this blog this weekend knows, I've been all over the Glastonbury coverage. ALL over it! So we had lots of live performances from the festival, we had some Pride protest music, some new releases, lots of queer music (from Glastonbury itself because I will tell you: I just watched the festival all weekend long).

I also spoke to @desi-lgbt-fest on the show!! Really excited about this interview, we had 20 minutes of the interview on this Sunday's show, and the full 50-minute-long interview is coming out on Thursday (because I needed a little while to finish editing it lol).

Do listen to the Thursday release, it was so nice talking to the three mods of the Desi LGBT Fest, and they had some lovely and important things to say!!

Also if you enjoy the music listen to the show live I guess, I have to cut published/studio-recorded music in the podcast (copyright reasons).

Music for this week:

I forgot to post this week's playlist (on that note, I forgot to post last week's and the week before that and the week before...) eh. Here's last week's show. Including, and I shit you not, indirectly, tangentially, a submission from Jah Wobble. My head might get too big one of these days.

Sorry to anyone who tuned in to last night’s show and there wasn’t one, I was just burned out and took (what felt like) the longest weekend I’ve had in months. Two full days off. Wow! And I’m still sleepy this morning. But! I didn’t do complete nothing this weekend: I interviewed a lovely Manchester band, and once I’m done editing it, that will go out on radio! Probably by next week. Look out for it, it was fun! (But it’s a looong time to edit)

Oof, I forgot to post last week's show again... played a bit of Rolling Stones while thinking about Charlie Watts, of course, had some interesting collaborations: Gorillaz and AJ Tracy! Even more intriguing: Louise Wener's Britpop band Sleeper, David Gedge from The Wedding Present, and a Bond theme (?!!), and we played tons of new British indie releases and submissions to the show.

We listened to music by

Now I know Elis bangs on about Gorky's Zygotic Mynci a lot and went to school with them and "stood right in front, maintained eye contact with them and stared at them for half an hour at gigs" and is like their number one fan, but I didn't know this was a recognised position
