It remains to be seen if it's all lip service, but Burnham's comms have been noticeably better than his predecessor.

Business rates cut for hospitality
Possible wealth tax
Energy bills support

All good noises on day one. Whether it's accurate or not, most people remember the winter fuel allowance ...

I am a Scottish graphic designer and have designed a good few whisky labels.

Omg that is the coolest thing I've heard in a while. Are you allowed and willing to share a few designs?

A wee sample of one of the ranges I've designed, many more varied designs will be on the new website. He's an ...

There is nothing wrong with... well, any art but in this case music, being pretty, and making it ugly, challenging and difficult to listen to doesn't automatically make it interesting or good

I think the Beach Boys were better at the interesting but still enjoyable....

This is in fact, a great track! Paul McCartney 2 is one of the best albums ever.

Brilliant album

Don't make me mad, Cupz.

This track is possibly the best on the entire album.

Fuck me, the Prince hate in here is wild. You are a bunch of philistines.

My humble hot take: 90% of Aphex's output is forgettable at best. No one gives a fuck about spliced laptop breaks in 2026. That said, when at his best, he's extraordinary.

He's been playing in the chump MLS as well, so not exactly match sharp with the elite European leagues. Different gravy.

Hey Wildfire, did I ever mention you're very cool, handsome and talented?

Is it a travesty to bring up the meddled with whiskies in here? Cos I mentioned loving lagavulin but I had some of their distiller's edition that was finished in Pedro ximinez casks and it's like drinking honey out of a bonfire. Absolutely beautiful stuff but sadly pricy af

Guess this is the inevitable outcome when they play an actual international sporting event rather than a domestic competition called the 'world series'.

Ok, now I am into this WC. What a fucking game!

Don't get me started on the DNC. What a petrified forest that is.

I think this might be my favourite on the album. At least for now. Keep coming back to it.

Best of luck! I'm sure she'll do great.

Well, I'm glad I said what I said because everything written above is excellent. The video game credit theory is quite convincing to me, though I'd struggle with the track on its own. I've always felt they (either directly or via Warp) would tell us the band was done rather than leaving it open to ...

Opportunistic weathervane Most of the PLP fall into this category. They have no vision or theory of change, which is evident when subject to even minor scrutiny. Without it, you are destined to have a rudderless, ineffective government.

Sorry mate, Maggie got there before Big Mad Andy:

I cannot bear UK hot weather. STICKY AS FUCK.

@Tao, horses for courses. I know it's well produced and quite pretty, but it's missing a bit of the mystery/wonder that ebbs through most of their classic tracks in this style. One day it will reveal itself to me I'm sure. Also, bands can definitely pastiche themselves over a long career. Plenty ...
