me during every episode of doctor who ever produced

NME, 19-26 December 1992

This is Suede’s second NME front cover, with Brett posing as Sid Vicious. Their first NME front cover (of 5 September 1992) and the accompanying interview were scanned and posted on tumblr years ago, so I won’t be doing it all over again. It can be found in my archive, reblogged on 4 Jan. 2019, if anyone’s interested.

Anyway, here we have Brett with Toni Halliday of The Curve and Jim Bob of Carter USM discussing 1992′s single releases from The Levellers, PJ Harvey, Sinead O’Connor, Madonna, Manic Street Preachers, The Orb, The Shamen, Morrissey, Happy Mondays, and a handful of other acts hardly anyone remembers nowadays…

FUCK, I'M FROM MEXICO AND I LIVE NEAR FROM THAT PLACE

More than 300 Mexican swifties meet today November 10th at a music store in Mexico city for a massive shop of reputation magazine’s and cd’s! this was the most iconic moment Taylor we love you @taylorswift

when the Doctor goes to the Powell Estate on New Year’s Eve as he’s dying, he asks Rose what year it is. all of the other visits were so calculated. he saves Mickey and Martha on a distant planet, just in the nick of time. he swats Luke out of the road before a car comes. he goes back in time and finds Geoffrey Noble, borrowing a quid, and gives Wilf a winning lottery ticket worth millions. he caught Donna’s wedding, just as she stepped out of the church.

But Rose. Oh, with Rose.

the Doctor says: “what year is this?” because he doesn’t even know.

do you think he just jammed his hands into the telepathic circuit as his body failed? do you think he just dreamt of her, desperately, the one face he was dying to see? do you think he hoped, prayed, that somehow he’d end up on her doorstep?

and the he’s in an alleyway full of snow. in London. and he knows that building, knows those stairs. and it’s finally snowing, for real this time. and he sees her, doesn’t even mean to speak to her, too afraid of timelines and paradoxes as putting her at risk…

but he’s in pain, and he grunts, and Rose—always ready to help someone in pain—turns around.

and the Doctor says: “what year is this?”

and when Rose says it’s 2005…oh, how his face lights up. It’s all ahead for her. And for him, too. I bet—he says—you’re gonna have a really great year...
