What a pisser!

Morrisons Radio this morning went a little off piste by treating the gathered throng to "Your Love" by The Outfield (1986, #6 US, #83 UK). Hadn't heard that in, what, 39 years?

Tori Amos's version of "I Don't Like Mondays" (2001) is now older than the Boomtown Rats original was at the time (1979). Time flies like an arrow in to the knee.

Now live! Feels later than usual, this year?

I found this on Reddit and had to share. Simpsons quotes that could be Morrissey song titles.

Morrisons Radio played "The Robots" by Kraftwerk earlier. Then blew it with "Two Princes" immediately afterwards.

In 2007, I went to a screening of the first Simpsons movie. The vibe then was "yeah, it's OK, but this should have happened about 15 years ago". Now look.

How bizarre but delightful to see a big piece on Rachel’s so many years after listening to them to death way back when. A Neil Kulkarni elegy would have been the way in, of course www.theguardian.com/music/2025/s...

There's money to be made offering a streaming service with additional audible surface rumble.

The countdown has started.

There have always been Trumps, as there have always been Johnsons and Farages. None are particularly complex or interesting characters. What needs understanding is how the barriers that shut them out have collapsed, and why - in the case of the first two - established parties have knelt before them.

Still waiting for the widespread outrage over Robert Jenrick at a racist pogrom here pictured with founder of neo-Nazi group Combat 18

Today I learned that a 1998 caretaker manager of the Lionesses was called Dick Bate.

Say what you like about Rod Stewart, but he makes his model trains run on time.

Buckinghamshire very much not entertaining the Daily Express narrative. Kudos.

If only there was some sort of hardback book, now the best part of a decade out of date, that could plug some of the gaps.
