Off to Wales for my pick today. #ASongADay m.youtube.com/watch?v=Hfx-...

Forgot I was threading it and posted separately today. Not going to add it with the hashtag and clog up the feed for Arron especially as he already has my list, but ready to pick up the thread again tomorrow my day 4 pick was Paul McCartney - Long Tailed Winter Bird.

Bob Mortimer provides this service for £8.

Day 4 of #TheTwen2ie5 ⭐️ 11 Points ⭐️ Not a surprise to see some Macca in a list of mine, but I set a high bar for something that is both NK and IS non-compliant. I just love that riff too much to not include it. Paul McCartney - Long Tailed Winter Bird (2000, UK) m.youtube.com/watch?v=WpWT...

Bit of modern psychedelia for my pick today. #ASongADay m.youtube.com/watch?v=rFCB...

Time to remind people that this exists and Patricia Routledge was brilliant in it as she always was. m.youtube.com/watch?v=96sF...

Day 3 of #TheTwen2ie5 ⭐️ 11 Points ⭐️ From one of my favourite albums of last year. This title song still stands out as just being a real banger with a real sense of humour. Anna Erhard - Botanical Garden (2024, Sui) m.youtube.com/watch?v=2PAc...

Something from one of the best singles acts of their era today. #ASongADay m.youtube.com/watch?v=SJyh...

Day 2 of #TheTwen2ie5 ⭐️ 12 Points ⭐️ Going to thread my choices this time. This was bumped up to 12 thanks to me claiming double bonuses for this challenge. Wears its influences on its sleeve to make something special. Iraina Mancini - Undo the Blue (2022, UK) m.youtube.com/watch?v=IBCX...

Let’s have some Louis today. #ASongADay m.youtube.com/watch?v=P1EG...

Day 1 of #TheTwen2ie5 ⭐️ 12 Points ⭐️ Here we go starting with my bonuses. This was one of those rare songs that I just fell in love with from the very first time I heard it. Yukimi - Sad Makeup (2025, Swe) m.youtube.com/watch?v=9dX9...

🏏County cricket listening on the BBC shows huge rise❗️👂 🎙️More than 2.5 million listeners across the summer- 42% UP Men’s county championship 54% UP Women’s county cricket listeners UP by more than 450%💥 Use of NEW 5 Sports Extra channels plays a large part 📱📻 Thanks 👍🏼

I’ll be joining in with #TheTwen2ie5 from tomorrow sharing my favourite songs of the decade so far. I’ve sent in my list, but will be posting along as well anyway. I’ve claimed double bonuses for this challenge and I’ll start with them for a change to showcase a few if people are looking for HMs.

Time for an 80s banger today for my pick I think. #ASongADay m.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9pw...

Rewatched this for Covideo tonight after I’d mentioned a few very memorable things about it. Charles Dance went through the Royal Shakespeare Company to be able to deliver lines like “if I had an anus I’d probably soil myself” in this one.

Been an outstanding international career for Woakes. Led the white ball attack in the Morgan era that transformed England in the short form and a fantastic test match record that would have almost certainly included a shedload more wickets if he hadn’t been behind Broad and Anderson 🏏

Tune for today. #ASongADay m.youtube.com/watch?v=YM-l...

Remarkable how the Ryder Cup (and Solheim Cup) manages to deliver this amount of drama pretty much every time. Even when one side looks to be dominating there is almost always a point on the Sunday when it suddenly looks tight. It’s a perfect sporting format ⛳️

Bryson DeChambeau larruping his tee shot over 350 yards to the edge of the green on the first and still losing the hole feels like a pretty good summary of this whole Ryder Cup. America all noise and bluster while the Europeans have just gone about the business of outclassing them ⛳️

Brilliant individual goal from Katy Watson. She’s looked fantastic so far this season. Easy to forget how young she still is with how long she’s been around the first team squad #SAFC

Sunday jazz pick #ASongADay m.youtube.com/watch?v=jXdV...

Sunderland AFC Premier League points in August and September 2025: 11 Sunderland AFC Premier League points in August and September 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016 combined: 9 Last time #SAFC had as many points after six top flight games was 1967 (adjusted to three points for a win)

What a start. Third in the table. I know we keep saying it, but how the hell have we signed Xhaka and Alderete? #SAFC

Special few months for English women’s sport with the rugby side adding a deserved World Cup win to the Euros win in the summer.

My pick for today #ASongADay m.youtube.com/watch?v=WfZA...

Ken Campbell once used a medium to contact the ghost of Laurence Olivier. He asked the spirit who was the greatest actor in the world right now, and received the answer “Jackie Chan”. So Campbell rented as much Chan on VHS as possible and watched the lot. “And do you know, the man was RIGHT!”

#THETWEN2IE5 - YOUR PICKS ANNOUNCEMENT Shortly, this page will go live at mu21cvs.com. Just in time for the end of the (UK) working week. Two lists are still to be loaded, but we have: 441 songs, of which 439 are on Spotify from (by my count) 50 different countries Tuck in!

Did someone say beveragino?

Let’s go with a classic for a Friday #ASongADay m.youtube.com/watch?v=b1Uk...

Once again duty bound to advertise this and its final shot that made me laugh for about 3 days solid.

Surrey’s reign of terror is over. Didn’t expect it from Notts at the beginning of the season given how poor it’s been over the last couple of years, but shows what talent is in that squad 🏏

Pick for today. Become a bit obsessed with Pearl Charles’ records recently and the new one has bonus Tim Burgess so even better. #ASongADay m.youtube.com/watch?v=15_e...

Think tonight has shown what a difference the new additions in goal and at the back have made for the lasses in the early league matches this season and how it will still be a concern if we pick up some injuries that we don’t have the depth there #SAFC

Job nearly done for Notts 🏏

Pick for today. Only recently become aware of EERA, but I really like this. #ASongADay m.youtube.com/watch?v=UDf0...

🎶 Goodbye Dickie Bird International cricket umpire 🎶

Some glam today. #ASongADay m.youtube.com/watch?v=FyzW...

Me on the way to the rapture.

If the answer isn’t ’do fuck all until I die’ then he has a very different attitude to being given £52 million to leave my job than I would.

If you need something nice, here’s two of the funniest, most talented people having a cheerful chat youtu.be/ZbggQjzszNs?...

Bit of HAIM for my pick today because I really like HAIM #ASongADay m.youtube.com/watch?v=4NJY...

Starting to think there might be something in that ‘you are what you eat’ saying

When the final whistle went at Wembley in May I wonder what odds you could have got on this being the case at this stage of the season #SAFC

So much to like about this team. Frustrating that I’d have fancied three points if we’d had 11 men throughout, but another point and continue to show we can more than compete. Mukiele and Alderete are so good and Ballard immense as well when he came on #SAFC

Back to a Sunday jazzy pick this week #ASongADay m.youtube.com/watch?v=5JqR...

Cricket Club presentation night tonight. Once again proof that it’s better to be popular than good.
