@actualnames.bsky.social Pulled it off in style.

Anyone care to guess who Music Week compared to Rachel Sweet?

I absolutely love Where Love Lives by Alison Limerick it all its incarnations and I pray that will come through this terrible moment in its life.

“Pulled off a ticket scam”.

Why does nobody ever talk about the Great Motown Robbery of 1983?

Think of the worst place imaginable. Yes, it’s ….

RIP Dave Ball. What a loss. As exceptional as one half of the Grid as he was an absolute pioneer in Soft Cell.

Today marks the 7th anniversary since the other half thought Ronan Keating was someone else.

God love Hazell Dean. Two Ls.

Nearly ❌mas!

Namely: Bitter Sweet Symphony, Laid, Common People, White Man in Hammersmith Palais and There Is A Light That Never Goes Out. Reads like a sixth former showing off how alternative he is. Ian McNabb is 64.

Somehow got a whopping bruise on my arm in the shape of Ian Brown’s face.

Journalism today: Things Can Only Get Better

STOP!

A very sad today for our kids’ school today.

The new @suedehq.bsky.social album is bloody fantastic.

Just put this on randomly today. And some Jehovahs witnesses have knocked on the door whilst it’s playing. What could it all mean?

RIP Stephen Luscombe. Blancmange never really got their proper dues but that run of singles from 82 to 84 was 👌.

Who knew Chris Rea was in charge of Google Sheets?

Is there anything ANYTHING worse the people complaining about “holiday blues” having come back from a 2 week holiday abroad? No.

What was life like before the internet?

Anyone fancy a point? Atrocious.

Been at Haven with the sound of screaming kids all week and my head currently sounds like this: youtu.be/HI8xjvBf0-8?...

The B Side of “worst song ever” We Built This City by Starship is an instrumental remix of their song Private Room. It contains a number of found radio sounds and right at the end has what seems to be a news broadcast about the Bradford City fire disaster. share.google/rER7G53yKVio...

This account of a “fan” meeting Duran Duran is amazing. Slags half the band off and John said what?!

I often think about this sign.

I often think about this sign.

I genuinely read that as The Human League and I didn’t agree.

Just when I thought the over use of music in adverts and TV had already reached a terrible peak: “The sun always shines on Soreen”

Is it just me or did the old Cracker Barrel logo have a cornucopia on it? #mandelaeffect

“The Interceptor but with Timmy Mallett on a bike hunted by police in a sleepy Oxfordshire village.”

Banger after banger but do they get AI to sequence compilations these days as this all over the place. Yeah just chuck He’s On The Phone on CD4 between all the late 80s and early 90s stuff.

You get blocked from reading things?

Yes!

Slightly diminish a band: Splodgenessabit

Slightly diminish a band: Mild Attack

Glad these guys are doing good after their music career ended.

Drop something SMILEY

It’s been a rough couple of days but thank Christ for @chartmusictotp.bsky.social and David Essex introducing me to Barbara Rosenblat. youtu.be/aMukz_YxU2o?...

Can we spare a moment to remember when the bassist from Kula Shaker pretended to be Welsh, with comedy accent, to do a quiz on leeks on Collins & Maconie’s Hit Parade. A skit so funny they decided to put it as a B side on their next single - with comedy sheep noises. Britpop died right there.

In this edition of Grange Hill a terrible murder happens by the river.

The hype sticker on Placebo’s 1998 single “You Don’t Care About Us”. The band’s version of the T Rex classic won a lot of radio airplay and was arguably the main draw for this Top 5 hit. www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-MI...

Always my favourite character from The Bill.

This is my view for the morning but YES there’s a brand new 6 hour @chartmusictotp.bsky.social to get stuck into. Perfect timing chaps.

Thank goodness for apostrophes.

Very happy for Roland but I’d have thought the chances of this happening were totally Implorzabal.

There are certain songs that just make me think of dogs frantically wagging their tail. This is one of them. youtu.be/aZOXVKu91-A?...
