reacting to the news of a new taylor swift album like brenda from bristol reacting to a new general election.

[the-toasted-teacake]

I can't even bring out the Brenda from Bristol clip, because I'm honestly delighted that we're FINALLY getting another (long awaited) general election. Ready to see this government GONE.

(Could've done without the realisation it's likely to be Silverstone weekend though. FFS do not start asking these guys for election opinions 🥲)

The majority of the lyrics are 50 actual words for as Stephen goes through the list with Kate providing vocal backing  Watch https://youtu.be/_8Aytn3Fcu0?si=x_5ZvJUzg_pewDh5 All Seeing Eye ft Tony Christie - Walk Like a Panther  Originally released back in 1999 for their Pickeld Eggs & Sherbert album, All Seeing Eye teamed up with singing legend Tony Christie for this, what I can only describe as a dance/rock-esque track that still holds on today. Co-written by Jarvis Cocker (of Pulp), Walk Like a Panther is a song on how things have changed but not for the better and things losing their value  Watch https://youtu.be/ZyR4ut8Vjdo?si=eL99sMl7a-_pkCkL Cal White - Tell Me What You Want  I came across this incredible artist recently, and by that I mean very, as in the same day I wrote this. He's been active on the local scenes since 2017 and has been gaining a following ever since. Tell Me What You Want is a great song about trying to know what that someone in your life wants and holding on to it. If this song alone is anything to go by I'm keeping my eyes and ears on this guy. Great potential ahead  Watch https://youtu.be/SvpCcX5FoK0?si=F5Bs4B244aQlqkn8 For more music updates visit WhatsOn Geordie Greep (of black midi) shares new single 'Blues’ from forthcoming album 'The New Sound' London show 12th Oct: Zkeletonz bring their hyperfunk party to Oslo, Hackney!

Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark or Après Moi, Le Déluge

You’re joking – not another one ‘Brenda from Bristol’ is a folk hero of recent British political history. Interviewed in a BBC vox pop (after Theresa May called a General Election), Brenda pronounced, in a wonderful local accent: ‘You’re joking – not another one … There’s too much politics going on at the moment’. Here in France right now, there’s also an awful lot of politics. Last Sunday…

I've seen tweets with her photo, can you tell me what she did?

In 2017, Theresa May held a snap election just 2 years after the last election (normally it’s 5 years between elections although it’s not rigid like it is in some countries). They took to the street to do vox pops - little interviews with normal people on the street to get their reactions - and Brenda from Bristol was one of them:
