Is there a better Gen X music scribe than galaxy brained indie boffin Simon Reynolds?. SRs new underground rock thematic ‘Still In A Dream’ covers 1984-94, C86/Noise Pop/Shoegaze/Grunge & is the reflective younger brother to SR’s post punk guide ‘Rip It Up & Start Again’ 1/2

Actually feel three stars is a bit stingy. Dalton is a good journalist but it was the band’s first gig in what must have been a very emotional occasion. Don’t think he balanced everything up fairly.

Sunday…. Celebrating the 50th anniversary of Throbbing Gristle’s notorious gig at the ICA. Including the opportunity to sit in a dark room & gaze into space listening to a recording of the gig. I resisted the temptation to pay £200 for the vinyl. £25 on a T instead #TG50

Who does the Co Op hide their bags? You literally have to ask for them. They’re made out of the cellophane we put our butties in during the 70s.

Eek, was going to go to this. Might still go if it’s this bad theguardian.com/artanddesign…

The 90s: Art and Fashion review – this isn’t an exhibition, it’s a magazine spread

The Young British Art of the 1990s was brash and macabre but also intelligent and emotional. This breathlessly superficial show reduces it to a stylish pose
