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.

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?...

Watching Jaws. Richard Dreyfuss is 27 years old.

Was once allowed to cross the road by John Craven.

Journalism today.

REM’s own takes on Shiny Happy People are a work of art.

It’s my birthday in a couple of weeks. All I want is to get my book in the top 100,000. amzn.eu/d/6tXcOG9

Perfect! Add “Tom Fletcher off of McFly” to that list.

Dune Be Here Now

So instead of deciding to be a role model for autistic people you choose to wait until you’re sacked for sexual misconduct before telling the world your actions are down to your autism. This sets back understanding and perception of autism by about 50 years. Get in the bin Gregg.

Just compiling a list of the most bang average songs on each Shine compilation.

Me watching all the people dressed up and doing Oasis impressions today.

Post a song from the year you turned 12 youtu.be/V2Qg73_lK1A?...

Just heard someone in real life say “TTFN” for the first time. Which is both an abbreviation and three syllables more than just saying “bye”. Why? #ttfn

If you see this, post an image you saved because it made you laugh

Easiest #Pointless answer ever.

Working from home today and was just momentarily disappointed that Give Us A Clue isn’t on at twenty past 3.

The internet today: Here’s a story that will really benefit your mental health in these crazy times we live in.

I love how Rustlers suggest you “rebuild” their burger as if you are dismantling a towering monument.
