T goes to one of my favourite Bowie albums. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dh8R...

S goes to Yello, my favourite brand of Swiss weirdoes. www.youtube.com/watch?v=0VzO...

Oh sweet summer child ... R is a throwback to 2000, when pirated CDs were a thing and this punk band was pissed off at Russia because of them. There have been many more reasons since. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wc06...

Q does not have a lof of songs. But there is this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=k30X...

P as in Psycho Killer. www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJ54...

O - and a throwback to a more hopeful time. www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmjU...

Reached N, and a song I hadn't heard in ages. www.youtube.com/watch?v=sptQ...

Reached M. Turns out, my music library contains three songs called Metropolis, by Kraftwerk, Motörhead, and The Pogues. Germany takes this round. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2FRG...

L is here - I think this one must be on many Northern Soul compilations. Heard it a lot way back and was happy to rediscover it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZT4...

K kuin Kari Peitsamo ja Koottava lasinen muurahaispesä. www.youtube.com/watch?v=juuq...

J brought me to Jerdacuttup Man. He had no luck in business and no luck in love, but I love this song anyway. www.youtube.com/watch?v=MP1O...

"I" came up and gave me Kaiser Chiefs. Think this is one of the songs that I got from Salon back in the day. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hamK...

H blir en flashback till det mörkaste 80-talet ... jag tror jag såg en keikka med Viktor Hurmio då. På Silver Night, inte i Savolax. Nakit var vi sannolikt nog. www.youtube.com/watch?v=BcQd...

G stands for Golden Years. Station to Station is one of my all-time top albums. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ApHM...

F stands for Firmans man, my favourite track from Karar i arbeit. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hxok...

This is E. And I believe I've heard this cover version more than the original. www.youtube.com/watch?v=VwR-...

And the letter D brought me back to Siouxsie. Unrivalled. www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZrC...

How has this got into my song library? I have no idea. But this came up under C and is pretty amazing. www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXe0...

I accidentally started listening to my entire music library in alphabetical order, by song title. Am on B now and often going "where the hell did that come from?" A lot of enjoyable genre whiplash is happening - from Beväpna Er from Ebba Grön to this www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJIO...

Listening to Tom Lehrer - a lot - at an impressionable age probably made me the weirdo I am today. Thank you and rest in power. www.youtube.com/watch?v=TIoB...

Fkkk me, just how insane will this week be ... in addition to the normal craziness. Following #ESC intensely for the first time in decades, last eps of #Andor dropping on Wednesday, seeing Tade Thompson on Sat. What a time to be alive!

I would just like to say, again, that #Andor is the best thing on TV atm. How did this miracle even happen, when so many SW shows on Disney are so utterly dire?

Finally had time to start #Andor. What a joy this series is! I’m even rooting for the villains, the characters are just so great.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=5OGU... Yet another earworm. I don't care, I like these guys. "Måst e nåo ha vari så Att tå dem byggd pyramidan Ståo en gobb å skåda på"

Highlight of the summer for me!

Jag struntar som vanligt i ESC och allt det övriga, men KAJ är skitbra. Instant earworm. www.youtube.com/watch?v=28__...

One more reason to shun the other place. Daily euribor rates seem to be here now.

Talk about a cold open. Picked up a book from my TBR stack, and found the first ten pages missing. Argh. Audio version to the rescue. Now do I swap to the paper book on page 11, or keep listening? Reader is good though.

Ai niin. #TheGiggle - Director of Photography, Mika Orasmaa. Torille?

That. Was. So. Much. FUN! I loved #TheGiggle - and can't wait for the Christmas episode and to see more of Ncuti.

In other news: bread.

Disgusting decision by the IOC. I'm not into sports in any case, but will do my best to ignore all and any sponsors as well. #BoycottOlympics

My Twitter account turns 16 today, but no way am I posting anything there until Elmo is out. I was there before him, dammit!

That was very scary, and brilliant! I'd have been hiding behind the couch - if I had a couch in the room with the TV. #WildBlueYonder

I think Rum, Sodomy & the Lash was the album I played the most back in the late 80's. Legend. www.youtube.com/watch?v=CAKZ...

Interesting points on the wider implications.

"Watching The Star Beast, it’s comforting to be reminded just how good Davies is at writing character and dialogue." I completely agree with @darrenmooney.bsky.social them0vieblog.com/2023/11/25/d...

That was just so enjoyable! At last, Doctor Who is fun to watch again!

Intressant text av Elvis. Och hela den svenska Tesla-konflikten är förstås fascinerande. www.expressen.se/ledare/ylva-...

Well, I'm going all in and enjoying the negative electricity prices to the max. I'm charging my electric toothbrush even though the battery was not dead yet! finance.yahoo.com/news/trader-...

I'd say this: suddenly firing the CEO (who is also the face of the company) while you're preparing for a $90 billion IPO is a rather extreme move and would only be done if the lawyers discovered something that made them start convulsing like an alien was bursting out of their chest.

Oh joy! My toilet is busted. Needs replacing. The silver lining is that I can still use it, just as long as I use a #bucket for flushing. Next time someone starts handing out buckets somewhere, I will be standing in line like every proper Finn.

Ilahduttavaa huomata, että P. Väyrysen ja scifiseurojen kojut sijaitsevat kirjamessuilla saman saarekkeen eri puolilla. #thetruthisoutthere
