These stats paint a pretty bleak picture of the decline of arts education over the last 13 years 😕
Today we release our #ReportCard2024, revealing the state of crisis in cultural education. There has been a systemic and persistent deprioritisation of the Expressive Arts within England's schools.
Read the report: culturallearningalliance.org…
Good luck getting what you want on #RSD24 , and support your local independent record stores all year round (and don’t pander to the scalpers)!

The experience of deja vu occurs when someone in the future who's reading your biography loses their place, and flips back a few pages to reread them.

“If there has been anything in the history of popular music which could be described as a work of art then Trout Mask Replica is probably that work,” said John Peel. John Lydon called it his “confirmation”: “From then on there was room for everything.” theguardian.com/artanddesign…
