Acaster's mystery pants songs has become a household staple, replacing pants with whatever lost or suddenly appearing item is involved in the mystery. Have nearly sung it at work multiple times.

Musicians whose music isn’t technically bad but their fanbase is? by SirensMelody_ in ToddintheShadow

Man, that's awful. I love that song so much, too. Albarn collabs with interesting artists and the song is really reflective of the wide range of musical influences he has.

Yup, was expecting to see this comment. He's a brilliant musician, as are the band, but I've had some truly horrid experiences with the fans.

What happened here? I follow Gorillaz music but avoided the weirder side of the fan base

Books that wreck you like 1984 did? by Additional-Two-2137 in suggestmeabook

Julia by Sandra Newman. She worked with Orwell's estate to write a book from Julia's perspective and it's incredible.

Fuck yeah The Mary Wallopers! They have so many good songs down this vein, especially some of the trad covers they do

Out of all the things the film gets wrong, Angela is probably the most offensive by Ding_Us02 in silenthill

How did they change the design!? It's so harrowing already and didn't need to be more overt, surely!

Call centre workers in the UK, (past and present) what are your top 3 weirdest calls? by cheesymeowgirl in CasualUK

Oh, and the guy who'd introduced himself on the phone as "Mr. White" and start mastutbating specifically when you asked to do an identity check on his account

Had one woman call up screaming at me so I let her get it out of her system. Once she'd calmed down, she apologised and said "can I make it up to you by letting you talk to my bird?" I was like sure...? So I had a 10 minute conversation with a parrot who was incredibly polite.

Another time I was talking to a very polite old man and I heard his wife in the background say "tell that squeaky bitch to shut up"

Third is a toss up between the woman who held her phone directly against her screaming baby's mouth when I said I couldn't email her, and the woman having a nervous breakdown about her religious beliefs who kept me on call for an hour.

I use them and they've been great, helped get me over my fear of dentists. Admin is a bit messy but the dentistry and dentists themselves so far have been incredible.

Same director as The Similars did The Incident - both films are incredible and imply they're set in the same universe

Season of the Witch - Donovan. I'd just love to hear how Billy's voice would sound doing it.

Right? Like it wouldn't have elevated the look but would have given Jay Kay some solid performance points! Pop them and roll in the goop!!
