Jeremy Gilbert: "This is a landmark work that brings a complex analytical framework to bear on the entire past 70 years of Anglophone pop music history .... will be a key reference point for politically and sociologically informed cultural criticism for years to come."
Was reminded this weekend that grown men still believe the worst thing to happen in their lifetime is Brexit. Possibly in the world ever. Yet they still support Starmer.
Fantastic review of my book in The Welsh Agenda by @RhianEJones: "an ambitious and fascinating book, written with, alongside humour and insight, an obvious love of music – something missing surprisingly often from cultural analysis of this kind." iwa.wales/our-work/work/…
NEW RP: Jack talks to @TobyManning about his book Mixing Pop and Politics: A Marxist History of Popular Music, out now from @RepeaterBooks, using Weller and the Stones as case studies in the connections between popular music and political ideology. soundcloud.com/reelpolitikpod…
'An almost callow Morrissey articulates a wisdom and wit that hasn’t yet descended to the novelties which deface more obvious ‘best album’ contender, The Queen Is Dead (or connoisseur’s choice, Strangeways Here We Come)' Something They’ll Never Have: Why Hatful of Hollow is…
🚨 YOUTH DEMAND SUPPORTERS TAKE SECOND MANCHESTER ROAD When @Keir_Starmer is fuelling genocide in Gaza, we have no choice but to disrupt. Stop arming genocide! Support the youth in resistance: youthdemand.org
'It was The Smiths’ ability to capture not just youth’s awkwardness but its aspiration – in the music’s elegance and the lyrics’ defiance – that endowed the shy kids with coolness and the cool kids with sensitivity' Something They’ll Never Have: Why Hatful of Hollow is…
Never imagined in the hollow, hateful 80s that I'd be writing obsessively about the period 40 years later. Here's my latest.
Despite not being a proper album, Hatful Of Hollow possesses a freshness and immediacy that was lost elsewhere in The Smiths’ discography, argues @TobyManning on the record’s 40th anniversary Something They’ll Never Have: Why Hatful of Hollow is #TheSmiths’ Best Album…
Youth Demand are the future in every sense.
🚨 BREAKING: YOUTH DEMAND SUPPORTERS BLOCK CENTRAL MANCHESTER ROADS Never again means never again for anyone. The UK must stop selling arms to Israel @KeirStarmer Take action this week: youthdemand.org

Centrists hate this one simple trick to stop rising fascism: redistribute wealth and end wars.
What are the chances that Labour will now realise that banging on about the awfulness of the alternative is no substitute for positive policies?
There is something profoundly moving about Palestinians in Gaza getting behind Jill Stein’s campaign. She is the only Jewish candidate. Jews and Muslims are cousins. Zionism is a sickness that drives them apart and needs them to be enemies. I cannot wait til we are rid of it.
‘The Boys Of Summer’ is uncanny, eerie, suffused with loss, yet luminous with longing. For all its melancholia, therefore, it’s ultimately a song of hope – and that’s the biggest haunt of all.' Don Henley’s ‘The Boys Of Summer’ at 40 buff.ly/3Ux2CYc @TobyManning

'Instead of the counterculture being a metaphor for lost love in ‘The Boys Of Summer’, the lost love is a metaphor for the counterculture.' Don Henley’s ‘The Boys Of Summer’ at 40 buff.ly/3Ux2CYc @TobyManning
'The track captures the turn – of the season; of the times – the yuppie haunted by the hippie he once was, by a society that was once social, by a time when desire for a better world wasn’t unworldly' Don Henley’s ‘The Boys Of Summer’ at 40 buff.ly/3Ux2CYc…
