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."

@35yearoldfriend Do The National make that list? Too normie I'd say

[One-Dimensional Manning @TobyManning]

@YoungBobRB Didn't look very safe when you lot were all kicking off yesterday.

[One-Dimensional Manning @TobyManning]

@IrishLeftist Such a radical take.

[One-Dimensional Manning @TobyManning]

@RupertLowe10 You sound like Mosley in the 30s. And you're doing the same.

[One-Dimensional Manning @TobyManning]

@DPJHodges It's a Trump not a Corbyn. Find the quote where Corbyn said that, otherwise try and resist kneejerk defamation. You guys did your work, it's over.

[One-Dimensional Manning @TobyManning]

@wesstreeting Well, this post went well.

[One-Dimensional Manning @TobyManning]

@RupertLowe10 What about any white people? They can stay?

[One-Dimensional Manning @TobyManning]

@Tom_Gann Yes, exactly, there were strong structural reasons for that not to work - and the horizon of social democracy was a problem for both unions and politicians, to an extent including Benn. But there were also possibilities as well, which is why we rightly fetishise the Lucas plan

https://t.co/znjxB7nurj interesting - bolder than anything Burnham has said

[One-Dimensional Manning @TobyManning]

Interesting - no mention of our active collusion mind but I’ll take this. And yes I know it’s leadership hunting season but let’s cf Burnham’s statements on this issue

[One-Dimensional Manning @TobyManning]

@WordMercenary Gammoning will do

[One-Dimensional Manning @TobyManning]

@Tom_Gann Hmm I feel there was a route to winning - Benn needed more union support for his longer term strategic thinking

[One-Dimensional Manning @TobyManning]

@Tom_Gann Agreed

[One-Dimensional Manning @TobyManning]

@AllyFogg On the upside young people are waaaaay more socially skilled and generally nicer than my gen

[One-Dimensional Manning @TobyManning]

@AllyFogg The cruelty and lack of empathy of politicians nowadays is another facet of neoliberal affect - not just the substance but the tone

[One-Dimensional Manning @TobyManning]

@AllyFogg I’m not even complaining that’s not my point. But the 70s is a nice period to remember and I can’t manage much beyond 1972/3 - but I’m very much aware we have to live in the present

[One-Dimensional Manning @TobyManning]

@AllyFogg Social democratic society emphasised the collective - neoliberal society the individual

[One-Dimensional Manning @TobyManning]

@AllyFogg I’m all for being optimistic and not into slamming young people but to me every regime of accumulation is an affective regime

@earthygirl011 She’s relentless
