Fucking ridiculous.

Harry Nillson had one of his early songs recorded by the Monkees. He was working in a bank and the record company guy rang him up and said ' you can quit the job now'.

If that happened today poor old Harry would be looking at another 40 years in the bank! He'd probably end up owing the record company money...

That's pretty good.

steady on

it's a bit safer to brag about how you can punch middle aged women so they'll probably stick to that I'd have thought

I doubt their thoughts about any notoriously touchy religions will be being broadcast any time soon

I think artists should be able to make art about what they like. If Lammo thinks this is a good tune he should be able to play it.

But <sigh> BBC. You are playing directly into the hands of James Murdoch and co. When even I am thinking 'maybe we should scrap the licence fee', you know you've gone a bit far

@ArabeIIaScott they are amazing live, energy off the charts. It's just a wall of noise!

They are goddesses of rage, power and punk. Also @MelodiousThunk you have the best username I've seen on here and I feel bitter that I'm not smart enough to have thought of it lol

Wow the Nova Twins are bloody awesome. Takes me back to seeing Siouxie and others of that ilk.

It looks lovely, but to be perfectly honest these days I prefer listening while sitting on my arse with a cup of tea so I can be in control of the volume levels.

My punk days are long gone!

Dream Nailz on a Blackboard.

I did quite like some of Amyl and the Sniffers a few years back. [Video is a bit disturbing]

Oh my word! This is so lovely! Proving that kids are perfectly capable of a tight punk interpretation.

In the interests of balance I'll expect 'We're all karens now' or 'humans aren't clownfish' or 'everyone I don't like is literally Hitler' on desert island discs this week.

Vagina police arrest this girl
her Hitler hairdo is making me feel ill

Never Mind The Pronouns… Here’s the Adjectives!

I can think of a few.

Times article:

@Igneococcus missing link?

I can see it @WarriorN
Are you on the app? This happened before that a link was not visible in the app.

Yes I am (grrr!)

A fox news contributor and ex wrestler has threatened to assault trans children.

In the Times today

Roisin Murphy shunned but BBC plays song with ‘kick terfs’ lyric

www.thetimes.co.uk/article/c20f52d4-53b9-11ee-a518-203f78f24415?shareToken=5143e9ffd46b6cbfa34bc6f8085d8b05

Not impartial

What on earth does that have to do with the price of fish?

Start a new thread if you want to discuss an entirely unrelated topic. Wee button at the bottom - 'add post'.

@LizaBizza Look, no-one agrees with assaulting 'trans' kids the headline is very inflammatory and the article itself is too (i mean its pinknews ffs) but at the end of the day he is protecting his daughters and women's rights in what he is saying. I don't much fancy being in a changing room or swimming race with Lia Thomas, do you?

But, by the way, whilst we are talking about violence, why is assaulting "trans' kids not OK but assaulting "terfs' is?!

NB I don't agree with assaulting anyone, buy points need to be made

Please don't allow the thread to be derailed.

I'm at a loss to recognise what the 'nuance' is? The lyrics are pretty unequivocal. I expect it goes down very well when they play live and we'll be hearing a lot of it outside women's rights meetings.

aww

look at them looking all sulky in the picture

I love the way the Times just keep repeating what Roisin Murphy said

She called for children to be protected. The post went viral and prompted anger from the transgender community.

anger about calls for children to be protected - fancy!
