@therealmandyque.bsky.social hello to you too. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

R.I.P. Antone 'Chubby' Tavares. When I bought this with my 11th birthday Record Token I believed it to be the greatest record ever made. Still in my top 10, played it at my 60th. Saw them live in the 1990s, it was ace. The cowbell pattern alone is worth a million dollars. youtu.be/J123lM0RvzM?...

2025 is the new 2016. David Lynch RIP.

What a truly pathetic, faux-provocative thing to say. SLI is a real life necessity for auditory impaired people. It’s generations olD & to seek to stir up more culture wars bullshit by calling it ‘woke’ beggars belief. I’m with Kathy Burke: “I’d much rather be woke than an ignorant fucking twat.”

Listen back to @eeih.bsky.social's incredible Riley and Coe's @bbc6music.bsky.social Session: www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

He had the greatest post-presidency in history. I also think about how he put his peanut farm in trust when he became president & compare that to the conflict of interest cesspool we have coming in now. RIP Mr. Jimmy. meidasnews.com/news/jimmy-c...

Sad to hear of the death of Boring Bob Grover of The Pirhanas. 'Tom Hark'/'Getting Beaten Up'/Girlfriend' was one of the best value items any of us ever spent money on. You 'ave to laugh, or else you'd cry.

President Jimmy Carter has passed away at the age of 100. He was a symbol of what is best about America: kindness, compassion, duty and service. He will be missed, most of all by those who long for a return of that kind of country, led by a man with such strength of character.

BBC Radio 6 Music Riley & Coe Marc and Gid come together to play their music loves, tonight Nev Clay joins them to perform live in the Sumptuous Salford Studio.

Remembering Nick Drake, who died on this day in 1974, aged just 26 years old. This song never fails to give me goosebumps. youtu.be/BBBkFWXiL9Q?...

@marcrileydj.bsky.social and @gidcoe.bsky.social We have alas lost both Shel Talmy and Pete Sinfield in the last week. A record for each of them this week please if you could. Best wishes, Carl
