@ameretet.bsky.social Sorry not been around. Danielle needs more looking after now. Lost all motor functions, can only move her head. Deactivated my Twitter accounts, would like to delete but not letting you do that. Reason for out of the blue post - Did I talk to you about Mayfair Witches ?

Sorry I was late getting here, but I couldn’t join until I’d written 4 long blogposts about the week John Peel spent sitting in for Jakki Brambles in the week leading up to Easter 1993. greasepaintpeel.blogspot.com

@foreigncovers.bsky.social There's a blog called Music On Vinyl, you might already know if it. The author purchases 7" singles from all over Europe and writes about them. There's a recent entry which is Abba hits in Hindi. musiconvinyl.blogspot.com/2024/12/abba... (Don't tell me, you already know)

@nigelfaragemp.bsky.social Go fuck yourself.

The customized computer screen with eye gaze technology which enables Danielle to "talk" to me. Previous to that we were using that card which she pointed to the letters. Her arms and hands don't move any more so this screen is a lifeline. Health insurance co only paid a part. We had to use savings.

DID YOU KNOW (sorry to shout there) that Colin Hay - the lead singer from Men At Work wrote a song about George Best. It is called "My Brilliant Feat" - Here he is performing it live on Total Football: www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3jN... #footballandmusic

A relatable japanese word for today: Tsundoku (積ん読) The act of buying books and letting them pile up, unread.

@michaelhudson76.bsky.social This is one of those "found when looking for something else" - Jimmy Nail in Shoot For The Sun (1986). I don't remember this at all. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_67...

Your mention about a B Side the other day @23daves.bsky.social just sparked a reminder to myself of the Tears For Fears flip side of the Mad World single. In the days when we would buy the 7" and then play both sides repeatedly. Ideas As Opiates: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tf74...

I saw Drugstore at the After Dark in Reading in '98. They did a full electric version of Radiohead's Blackstar along with a Mariachi band providing the backing. Tiny stage, all of them squashed in. What a memory. Glad to see they are still going. www.youtube.com/watch?v=BrCj...

Ah, #FallFriday is it? www.youtube.com/watch?v=95gf...

"There's a silent rumble in the buildings of the night council" possibly the peak of that wild cheap keyboard sound, incredible lyric, the last verse especially #FallFriday youtu.be/E42Hez2tltk?...

One woman's father left her 10,000 records when he died. Sharing them online helped her grieve – and get to know him better.

Of all the #footballandmusic songs I've played over the years, this one is probably the best of them all. The Hitchers - Strachan www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dit3... This too is a great homemade video which is a visual guide to the song.

@carolinebinnie.bsky.social Follow-up on watching the Dame Maggie Smith films in memorium: We watched A Room With A View, Murder By Death (for the laughs) and then Miss Jean Brodie (the best). Related: => Spotted a post here few days back about Memento Mori www.imdb.com/title/tt0104...

A quick note from here: I am looking after my wife, she has Bulbar ALS. He's going to cut Medicare and Social Security. I myself have health issues and am going to see my Doc tomorrow, probably for the last time because he's going to abolish the ACA. Oh and also I am an immigrant. We're fcuked.
