Musical differences

I'll leave the US election post-mortems and thinkpieces to others, but will note that there are already divisions among those delighted by Joe Biden's victory.

"Mary J Blige, Bruce, Tina Turner - great songs for a great moment", tweeted Thurston Moore. "Coldplay in respect for Biden's son Beau, his favorite band."

Others strongly disagreed. "Terrible music choices but great fireworks and adorable grandchildren", said one supporter - who just so happened to be Moore's ex-wife Kim Gordon.

Biden has already declared that it's "time to heal" and pledged "to be a president who seeks not to divide, but to unify". Here's hoping he can start by getting Sonic Youth back together again.

Right, enough of the serious political commentary - back to rolling around on the floor laughing at Four Seasons Total Landscapinggate...
