The Orb: Blue Room (1992). The longest single ever to reach the UK singles chart at 39m 57s; any longer and it would have been reclassified as an album. It still reached No. 8.
Top Of The Pops had no idea what to do with ambient music. Legs and Co would have been perfect for dancing along to it, but instead The Orb played chess on stage and the audience stood watching. It was sandwiched between Sophie B. Hawkins and Elton John, which probably added to the confusion.

Neither Cartier-Bresson, Banksy nor Cold War Steve could have come up with such an image. Absolutely perfect composition and lighting (even the road signs are perfect)! 😍

Like clockwork, the govt that has done more to destroy employment than any other in decades is trying to get re-elected by blaming people for being unemployed. No solutions, only punishment. Pure cynicism.

dudes love to be like "kill your local rapist" because they know they're never going to be in the position to do that, or even be expected to. actually addressing sexual + gendered violence requires a hundred small actions every day, not a performative promise of future violence

"I found a considerable lack of work after doing concerts for Palestinian children.. if that's the way it has to be, that's the way it has to be. If you support human rights, you gotta support them everywhere."

This video is a fictional conversation created by editing clips from separate unrelated interviews; David Byrne and Ed Sheeran never met or had this exchange. It is from the parody series "The Talk".
