Ruin two bands by combining them: XTC+C Music Factory

Back when I worked on Weston Pier I made a cup of tea for Nick Knowles

Desperate to know how this man (RIP) ended up with this nickname

It's the cultural round-up you've all been waiting for. Here are the ten best ITV closedown videos I watched in 2025 📺

Chill Sunday evening listening to @cheeseford.bsky.social on the radio and watching hydraulic press videos 👍

Seven years since I watched one of the most important documentaries ever made. A masterpiece

On repeat play today

My birthstone is Pebble Mill

Anyone got a contact for Patsy Kensit? I feel that we can make this happen. Mind you, I thought the same thing about Girls Aloud covering Hold the Line by Toto (as evidenced by the polite ‘thank you’ I received from their management in response to an email I sent while shitfaced)

Just remembered dreaming that Eighth Wonder had covered There Ain’t Half Been Some Clever Bastards. It was good, they should have done that

Bringing this energy into 2026

Not me in the middle of all the bloodshed and fucking, pressing the emergency stop button on the escalator with a look of triumphant glee on my stupid face

Spectacular

You can learn a lot about a person based on who their favourite Muppet is (Bonus Rowlf)

That reminds me, must buy some dog lube

You and I shared a common language When you and I ate a sausage sandwich

Describe your Bluesky account in a single image.

Sure Jennifer Rush's version of The Power of Love is alright but have you ever heard it played on slide whistle #totp

I have such a soft spot for If I Were, but the way Midge sings ‘come here my baby’ makes me irrationally angry #totp

FLUIDS

Happy ninth anniversary to the time I spent Christmas on the old sodium citrate 🎄🥳

Happy Christmas everyone. Hope you each got one Great Dane and several elderly chihuahuas, as requested

2026: be more Naomi Elizabeth

Andromeda galaxy just now

How I'm turning up to the Bluesky Christmas party.

My pal made a video for one of my songs. What a lovely thing to do. I’m thrilled.

If I used gen AI you’d all be looking at a cartoon of Paddington and Chris Rea right now

AXIAL TILT THIS AXIAL TILT THAT I AM SO OVER THE AXIAL TILT MOVE ON

OH MY GOD I forgot the most perfect woman in the world

I feel that everyone should know that @cheeseford.bsky.social has done a full roast dinner while doing this evening’s @noiseboxradio.com show.

Pure joy from start to finish

‘Dog offal and mincemeat omelettes have something in common. They are both things that can technically be eaten by humans’

Forgot the best one though

Why are you gay?

Once again I am not watching #RussellToveyFuckeAFysh and once again the hashtag is making me laugh and laugh and laugh.

Flashback to Christmas 2020 when I cheered myself up in lockdown by assembling my perfect selection box. Never give up on your dreams

Fanny makes a mincemeat omelette, because that's an entirely normal thing that human beings make and eat

Introducing my mum to some of my favourite Christmas telly

The Avengerbus is coming And everyone's succumbing To some kind of affliction That makes them speak in fiction Then Tara meets a nutter Who churns her in some butter The evil plan is scuppered And Steed has toast for supper 🎵

Share your mood for the weekend

Steely Dan x Salman Rushdie

Tonight I have learned that my father knew the #totp lighting director and my mother has met Johnny Mathis 'and his dad' 👍

My mum was very excited about Shakin' Stevens, which pissed me off because I once sang a chorus of Merry Christmas Everyone for her complete with enthusiastic dancing and she was *entirely* unmoved #totp

Sometimes when I'm watching Sinéad I suddenly realise that I have my head tilted all the way to one side like a puppy #totp

Look, the only way I want to see Boyzone rotating is in a fucking microwave #totp

My parents at the beginning of every song: 'This is why we lost interest in pop music' My parents at the end of every song: 'That was lovely' #totp

The Tamperer ft. Maya #totp

Stipe. What a beauty #totp

Me whenever Victoria is allowed to sing #totp
