Good Morning #VinylRecords #Vinyl

This is a teaser for the Eat The Pudding fan podcast, where @mocca1976.bsky.social and I will be exploring the Simpsons universe in all its colourful and cromulent forms. Sign up here to receive the first episode when it comes out in a couple of weeks’ time. open.spotify.com/episode/4H7h...

Who are your top 10 all-time favourite guitarists? Top of the head stuff. Brian May Nicholaus Arson Prince Tony Iommi Mark Knopfler Jimmy Page Jimi Hendrix Nancy Wilson Slash Roger Taylor (you said favourite, ok? Leave me alone)

I already have it. If you don't, grab it. Outstanding.

"That is how this country be That is why everything dey Scatter Scatter" The supreme lyricist and musical maestro. #FelaKuti

It was my privilege to be one of the chosen 12... I shall miss their fortnightly warmth and wit on this fab topic. I have no doubt that the new adventure will be eeeexcelllent.

Get this in your ears as a matter of some urgency. This was one of the most fun guest spots I've ever done given I got the chance to blather on about the greatest sitcom ever made (sorry @lordofaddersblack.bsky.social, I know which one you prefer........... ALLO ALLO!!!!!) 🤣

No mister! Not me! I'm staying here, where it's nice and free, In deep water... ##ChrisReaRIP

Looking forward to hearing Fred singing Polar Bear but the irony of Queen calling anything of theirs "Not for sale" isn't lost on me... www.independent.co.uk/arts-enterta...

And here it is. Episode 21. The family gets together. Honestly, from @davenuclear.bsky.social and @pankp007.bsky.social, huge thanks and love for all of the nuclear family's support this year... open.spotify.com/episode/1cJf...

Jamiroquai. Excellent as ever at the O2 and the fabulous Valerie Etienne (Galliano, @cornershophq.bsky.social) backing....

Let's do some revision first. The guitar work on side 2 is something very special.

As we finish our countdown for season 1 there could only be song at 101 (even if it has 99 it). @davenuclear.bsky.social and @pankp007.bsky.social were honoured to meet Nena at her Shepherd's Bush Empire show a few weeks ago. She recorded us a fab message and couldn't have been kinder. ...

@pankp007.bsky.social has just posted the news that some Queen music has just been played on BBC Radio 6. What a great day for the parish, fabulous work by the committee who made this possible...😐 They played this. A Deaky gem, from the awesome Hot Space. youtu.be/kToCuYfkGI4?...

I'm in shock...

Seriously, I'm not bored....

Looking at the footage and filming of this video is always so difficult... And yet in this moment, he still has the mischief and smirk. And always full of love. #Freddie @oiqfc.bsky.social

Jimmy Cliff and Dharmendra... Two icons of Jamaica and India. 81 and 89. Both gone today. 2 more heroes depart on 24th November.

RIP Jimmy Cliff

Utterly incomprehensible #Ashes test at #Perth. Oh well. 3 bonus days of sleep... #TravisHead is the best batsman in the world. But what has happened to Test batting technique?

No sir. This was warm, well-produced and, above all a fab surprise. The MIH version (is like the other re-makes) a prime example of throwing the Queen kitchen sink at it for no good reason. And that is the end of this section.

And here's the Apple link for Episode 19! The season is almost complete but @davenuclear.bsky.social and @pankp007.bsky.social ain't done yet.... podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/c...

We were honoured to meet the wonderful Trevor Horn this evening at the Apex Theatre. He spoke about his life the magnificent music that soundtracked the 80sz and answered @pankp007.bsky.social question at length about the brilliant Annihilation Mix by Frankie. Just a joyous evening.

As we note and celebrate #BohemianRhapsody at 50, I thought I'd share a potted thought of how (I think) Freddie's use of 3 chords informed much of his songwriting. Years ago I droned on at length to @lappods.bsky.social @swordofreason.bsky.social about this. @oiqfc.bsky.social

Episode five is live. It’s a micro episode with some extra bits from my Jane Hazlegrove interview and a few bits of news about the pod. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/j... @bangpodcast.bsky.social @scarredforlife.bsky.social

Define your music taste in eight artists: Queen Stevie Frankie Propaganda Hives Fela Maiden Cerrone

Listening to the LP from the box.

He was simply perfect. No need for a debate. I mean, we can have one if you like. But he'll win. Every time.

Dog with disease You're the king of the sleaze Put your money where your mouth is, Mr Know All... Was the fin on your back part of the deal? Shark.

A more important piece of print journalism will not be written this year. From Pizza Hut to "dirty pizza" at our local place, to the most perfect al forno with artisan mozzarella as thin as an After Eight, I cannot abide pizza snobbery.... And I like toppings. Who's in?

I appear, inadvertently, to have printed this...

With profound thanks to you all. You've been a joyous part of our humble journey. We thought some family and friends might tune in, but we made a whole nuclear family on the way. 5000 listens. Please stay with us. More to come. Lots of love from @pankp007.bsky.social and @davenuclear.bsky.social

@oiqfc.bsky.social I get to wax on at length about Roger in this episode....

Episode 16 is out! "People Say It Could Never Happen Here"... 3 superb frontiers... #RogerTaylor, #DonaldFagan, #PeterGabriel as well as brilliant songs by #PinkFloyd and #LouReed. Join us! podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/p...

Hi all. Rena, my dear wife, has been doing online meditations throughout summer and will be doing online meditations every Thursday in October. Thursdays 1900 (UK time). Interested? Scan the QR code and give her a follow on @notesfromafriend.bsky.social

The new addition to the Metal Cavern has arrived! Huge thanks to @pankp007.bsky.social & @davenuclear.bsky.social for allowing me to contribute to their fantastic podcast. If you haven’t checked @bangpodcast.bsky.social what are you waiting for?! The nuclear blast of the 1980s can’t wait forever!

RIP Stephen Luscombe (Blancmange)

So... The big guy is back on #TheStruts re-issue. Rocks along nicely and Luke's face has a bit of Freddie 74 going on... What do we think? @oiqfc.bsky.social youtu.be/mGyMY6aU-9g?...

Our Folk Horror show in Stockton starts at 7.30pm tonight! There still some tickets available, so if any North East weirdies fancy an evening of rural horror, you know what to do!

Hello! Do any of my friends have a press/management or similar contact for Nena (of 99 Red Balloons fame)?

A lovely wee package arrived for me from the boys at @bangpodcast.bsky.social !! If you haven't already, get them in your ears. Cheers!

Happy birthday, Fred.

Born 5th Sept. 1946. The most beloved of heroes. Missed and loved every moment. Happy birthday, #Freddie. @oiqfc.bsky.social

#Coldplay at #Wembley. Visually and technically stunning and the hits were non-stop.

As ever, #TheHives put on a wonderful high energy, show to launch their fab new album at The Outernet. And a signed CD for all ticket-holders. @thehives.com

For Episode 14, out on Monday @davenuclear.bsky.social and @pankp007.bsky.social travel the globe. What were Japan, Nigeria, South Africa, Chile & Russia singing about the threat? And for our many metal fans, we discuss the wonderful Japanese rockers, Loudness. Turn it up. youtu.be/ohdCEWWshGU?...

NEW LIVE SHOW! Join me, Dave, and @bobfischer.bsky.social for the SCARRED FOR LIFE: UNPLANNED Halloween show at Dukes, Lancaster on Wednesday 29 October! We'll share real-life ghost stories, then talk about whatever spooky stuff takes our fancy! Tickets: bit.ly/3HK5duQ

#Hostage. As bad as it gets. You can throw big names and Netflix production at it, but the rapid fire absurdity of it all, with no imagination, formulaic stories - leaves one laughing at the utter stupidity and predictability of it all. Question is whether I finish watching...
