Recorded 100 years ago today Fred Astaire - Half Of It Dearie Blues (featuring Adele Astaire & George Gershwin)

Podcasting people! This image is breaking my RSS feed, I have tried removing it, it's not in there as a featured image and I can't see it hidden in the code. Any clue why it won't go away? This is on Wordpress with Seriously Simple Podcasting plugin.

VERY COOL PERSON: It's four-twenty, you know what that means? ME: Hell yeah! [starts shoving blackbirds into a pie]

Today I finally lost my patience with Bluehost.

Centuries of Sound 1853-1860 The first Centuries of Sound mix, featuring the earliest recovered sounds, all made by French printer and bookseller Édouard-Léon Scott de Martinville on a contraption of his own invention and not played back for 150 years. centuriesofsound.com/2019/04/17/1...

This is an advert I am getting on Facebook right now. Not sure if this is because they assume middle-aged British men are all like this, but it's really bad.

Logged into a youtube account I hadn't for a while and it suggested I listen to Awoo by Lim Kim again. Thank you, algorithm. Completely forgot this in #TheTenx5 www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXPA...

If I were at BBC4 curating a selection of Prince performances, I would probably not give up on the second selection and put in a cover version by Tom Jones.

I had the Crash Test Dummies LP, it was much better than you'd expect from this song. #totp

The podcast I've been bingeing this week is Behind The Bastards, and have listened to their episode on the Great Famine in Ireland today. Fucking hell, I thought I knew a reasonable amount about it, but I did not. Amazing that Malthus/Bentham/Burke are still given any respect at all.

Reasons I hate "Summer Girls" By "LFO" * Weird casual anti-Chinese racism * They look like preppy frat-boy dicks * Stolen the name of the real LFO * It's just a terrible piece of music #totp

Recorded 100 years ago today The Skillet Lickers - Hand Me Down My Walking Cane

I couldn't see that video where I am for whatever dumb reason so here is another that I could. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lg5e...

Recorded 100 years ago today, Dock Walsh - In The Pines

I've kept paying the licence fee cos the rest of the fam watches loads of bbc but this might be the straw tbh. genuinely disgusting, reprehensible behaviour that goes beyond 'state broadcaster' into fascist activism

Remember where I know Clavicular from now, he was a setting on my Casio keyboard in 1992, some kind of variation ofln the xylophone.

This reporting from BBC stokes division, racism and homophobia, and fails to engage with that reality faced by most LGBTQIA+ individuals. I will be making a formal complaint and hope many others will as well www.bbc.co.uk/contact/comp...

you shouldn’t learn about bands from shady TikTok manipulation, you should learn about bands by hanging out with a girl you like but are also extremely afraid of

So am I right in thinking we don't actually know for sure which year Hank Williams died?

Older son has for some mysterious tiktok-related reason started singing Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now (the "looking for a job" bit.) Younger son is annoyed and says he could write better lyrics, despite being 11. He has told me to pass this on to the man who wrote the lyrics.

Recorded 100 years ago today, "The Franklin Blues" by Sam McGee

The only solution to this is if everyone starts consuming music like me (gathering thousands of songs from each year and whittling them down by listening through 3 times until I have about 200 faves, going increasingly insane and having mysterious gaps in years I haven't got to yet)

Recorded 100 years ago today, "The Bible's True" by Uncle Dave Macon

"people on this app will post anything. "Geese had bops.” no they didn’t. that isn’t true."

(Pops head up) I think “industry plant” only sticks if a band is heavily pushed yet lacks bops. All beloved manufactured bands have bops.

Songs I sing to my generally unappreciative dog, Wukong.

We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Moya Brennan in Co Donegal at the age of 73. A pioneering voice in Irish music, she co-founded Clannad with family members in the 1970s, beginning their journey performing in their family pub, Leo’s Tavern. www.irishtimes.com/culture/musi...

Happy Meldrew Point Day, Eminem! Today you are 19,537 days old and have reached your Meldrew Point - the age of Richard Wilson on the day One Foot In The Grave was first aired on Jan 4, 1990. I don’t believe it!

Guy on Instagram saying that a new Austin Powers wouldn't work because 1996-2026 hasn't seen the changes of 1967-1997 but I think that's wrong, the changes have just been less commodified and less reduced to cliche. www.instagram.com/reel/DV4aul1...

Of all the things I've seen people be incredulous about on BlueSky, this is one of them now.

Great that Orbán is gone, but holding off the celebrations until we see what his successor Péter Magyar is like once he's in charge.

'For me, music is my breath, external. I have spent my life with this thought. I have given a lot to music. I feel good I've come out of difficult times. Many times I felt I would not be able to survive, but I did.' RIP Asha Bhosle. Bollywood powerhouse www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

What kind of Liverpool fan are you? I'm "had a knitted Kenny Dalglish made by my grandma but haven't been to a game since 1982 and can't remember it because I was 2."

It turns out that Slough has a street of Middle-Eastern food which is much cheaper and much better than anything Cambridge has to offer, so I take it all back.

One of the most important people in rap history, and also yeeeeeeesh

Booked a hotel near Heathrow and now booking dot com thinks I'm having an exciting holiday in Slough

Got two options today; think about nuclear war or do not think about nuclear war. Both are far from ideal.

The Wireless statement is weird and petulant - nothing at all about the other acts, instead it seems to be behaving like it's Kanye West's spokesperson. Also says "we spoke to multiple stakeholders" before booking him. Really? And none said 'don't book him you dicks'? www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c7...

Let's stop publishing Zoe Williams articles. She's got nothing to say, and can't even say it well.

At an SEO marketing event I once found myself at, a salesman asked how long we would wait for a web page to load. Everyone else said 1-10 seconds, I said 5 minutes, and he could not believe me. I used MySpace in China in 2006 and that's my baseline, I can go make a cup of tea, it's fine.

A round of football song suggestions has broken out, so here's Albert Whelan from 1931. youtu.be/VOaoT9HMrJY

Say what you like about The Doors, but hearing this on the radio aged 6 or 7 transported me to a place in a way I never had been before.
