The Labour Party is dead. Vote Green.

I've just had a moment watching Gone Fishing (series 7, episode 6) Paul Whitehouse mentioned that this song is the one he considers the saddest. They played a clip and it knocked me sideways. ABBA - Slipping Through My Fingers youtu.be/lQj_DtAwmeM?...

I struggle with Macca and his whimsy blight. I'm much more fond of Paul McCartney. This is the exception that proves the rule. A fabulous Christmas song.

I think people of my age get a bit uptight and precious about them. To have a near 50 year career and a depth of catalogue that they have, is an achievement. Musical and personal missteps along the way, sure. Still playing big venues and connecting with a new audience, that’s quite something

years ago I was losing my mind arguing with a rude man on twitter and my husband said "you're playing chess with a pigeon" and it flipped a switch in me.

Watching the Simple Minds documentary I'm reminded of this quote from Justin Currie's Tremolo Diaries

So Littler comes out after the break and wins 5 legs on the spin. I get it, it's just darts Dave but these boys are so good.

Littler Vs Rock right now on Sky Sports is so good. Take more than 12 darts you've lost the leg. Littler currently 3 behind averaging nearly 110. Games gone....

Anni-Frid Lyngstad is 80 today. Her part in ABBA's success cannot be underestimated. I mentioned this week that those ABBA harmonies are the 8th wonder of the world. Future generations won't be able to comprehend how such a pure sound was created naturally. Peak Frida here youtu.be/iUrzicaiRLU?...

#ArtistFave15 Day 15 90s Nick Heyward The Man You Used To Be A song of reflection to finish this selection. I loved sharing these list gems. Check out Nicks 90s albums The Epic and Creation Years coming soon. Classic Pop Magazine review in the comments. youtu.be/qUPyQzQ-OOg?...

Beverley Glick aka Betty Page from Sounds takes us on another journey back to the early 80s music scene here for stories of Camden Palace, Steve Strange, two pop stars called George and a struggling Marc Almond. Fascinating stuff open.substack.com/pub/beverley...

The ABBA harmonies are actually the 8th wonder of the world. Future generations will wonder how something so pure and perfect could have been created naturally without AI #TOTP

#ArtistFave15 Day 14 90s Nick Heyward Rollerblade The last selection from Tangled. Sounds like the Las, references The Jesus and Mary Chain with some west coast stylings. Love this youtu.be/hC0e9iVcOeE?...

Pure pop Adam Ant where he was completely unstoppable. Prince Charming was more than a pop song it was the first video event. Ant Rap was a remarkable thing for someone like Adam to take on yet he nails it for me although I know it's not for everyone. All in 1981. Imagine a world without Adam Ant...

I'm fairly certain that this was the first record I bought with my own pocket money. I would have been 10. The lyrics lost on my innocence I was drawn in by its upbeat musicality and of course those heavenly harmonies. It's ubiquity hasn't dampened my absolute love for this record. ABBA. Bloody hell

Most famously in my world she appeared in this strikingly brilliant video with The Kane Gang. A fabulous woman. youtu.be/Sw3BGw6xF7k?...

With remarkable serendipity with everything else going on this week this should be the biggest story about the BBC. The remarkable Sara Cox has found a rich seam of good out there. Don't let anyone tell you we're a broken country. This is magnificent as is Sara

Pardon #TOTP

Sara Cox raising over £7.5 million is fucking amazing. I bloody love Sara. It also trumps Vernon's total especially as he was a bit sniffy about Sara being a girl and unlikely to beat what he raised (£4 million).

Tom, seriously we need some calendars made. Photo plus alt text. Scarecrows and sheep 2026 will give Cliff a run for his money.
