Links for late May
A rather overstated obituary for Channel M Music in the NME. Rather proves an old adage: music journalism is people who can't write, interviewing people who can't speak, for the beneft of people who can't read.
Daily Mash on the furore at the Palace over BNP invite.
A recently rediscovered classic - Preposterous Tales by I, Ludicrous. We all know a Ken McKenzie, don't we?
Hazel Blears gets a good kicking by the Salford Star.
Blackburn Rovers cheap season ticket offer, astonishing piece of forward planning and pricing. And good press for Rovers for once. Here and here. Cheaper than Barrow.
Kevin Roberts on the natural football museum in Ambleside. Homes of Football.
The sort of thing I used to do when I was a student. Very funny; well I think so.
Roger Cashman is going to be on Secret Millionaire in Burnley. And is organising a drink off between Ricky Hatton and Andrew Flintoff.
Old hat, I know, but thanks to Words Dept and Ear I Am for extraordinary story about BBC news woman bleating out that she earns £92K
Vincent Nichols has made a good start as leader of Britain's Catholics. But he's been turned over by the Times in a shameful way. Child abuse is horrific and he's condemned it.

Bookmarks for late April
Words Dept on the Channel M cutbacks. There has been real anger at the Guardian Media Group about the amount of money chucked at Channel M. I heard they were going to sell it to Manchester City FC; which still could be on the cards. Either way, local TV seems a dud idea now.
People Twittering at our technology event this morning. Sums it up quite well. They set up something called #insider which I haven't worked out how to do yet.
Stuff White People Like - a website, a way of life. Very amusing. My Bob Marley phase was 1983.
Two of my footballing heroes... with Jason Roberts and Aaron Mokeona.
Jamaica bans "daggering" and a good reason why is here.

Management Today feels the same way as me about Twitter. Thank goodness someone else is talking sense about this twaddle.
I obtained a leaked memo from a major City institution advising staff on what to wear. It suggested a look like this.
Zadie Smith lecture in New York. This is clever stuff about the new world what we're living in.
Marple Athletic Under 10s sponsor enjoys the reflected glory. My friend Ruth Shearn did me a massive favour sponsoring Joe's football team.
Dr Kevin Jones was speaking last night at the CBI dinner. Liked his take on this one. Which is this.
Profundity from David Hepworth on London's shifting population - one third of the population of London were born overseas. That is an incredible statistic.
Andy Dickinson has retired from blogging. Shame. In fact, it's worse than that. He's "fallen out of love with journalism at the moment".
Kevin Roberts with more Lancaster memories. I used to wish I'd gone to Ripley St Thomas School instead of my ever so up its own arse Grammar School.
I saw a bloke on the train back from Leeds today reading the Daily Express, it reminded me that David Quinn blogged on this particularly dreadful newspaper. Very good.
And finally, Newcastle United opt for magic beans bought on the way to market
