I hope that Sonia Sodha, Helen Joyce and Andrew Doyle all throw their hats into the ring for the new Director-General of the BBC vacancy.

SFT cathedral of sound.

This gorgeous song from Patrick Fitzgerald's new Stephen Hero album has so far failed to leave my head.

I wish this comedic genius had lived to be part of The Fast Show's reunion. 📺: www.youtube.com/watch?v=0WE0... Comedy is a poorer place without him. #FelixDexter #JuliusOlufemwe

Here's fright! Iain Cuthbertson is terrifying in this. Also starring Jan Francis, Bernard Gallagher, Joanna Dunham and Edward Petherbridge. (Thanks again to @bmxbanditsduglas.bsky.social for introducing me to this Lawrence Gordon Clarke masterpiece four 🎃s ago.) #MRJames

Extraordinary guest vocal by Richard Strange on track 3 of Anni Hogan's wondrous 'Lost in Blue' album. Quick reminder: This album is *FREE* to download at Bandcamp 'til the end of October, in tribute to its producer, the late, great Dave Ball.

#RobertQuine 1981 #JodyHarris

'What you expect me to toe the line for? Extra, read all about it When you were given fair warning Extra, read all about it'

'October Boy, sang his songs of sadness October Boy, loved The Shangri-Las October Boy, showed no signs of madness Was close to the top but no cigar'

Anni Hogan | Kid Congo Powers | Dave Ball

So strange (and somewhat disrespectful) that Chris Laurence wasn't credited for the stand-out double bass playing on this Morrissey B-side from 1990. Andy Rourke is credited with 'bass guitar' on the sleeve. Why do such omissions occur?

Ayu Okakita's gorgeous vocal re-interpretation of Ian Masters and Stefano Guzzetti's 'She Said', which started off as a Big Beautiful Bluebottle* song. (*'Please Come Away From the Edge' by Ian Masters and Terako Terao.)

A really great episode.

Roxy Music | Both Ends Burning | Live at Wembley | 18 October 1975 | 50th Anniversary Upgrade by Nacho Video

Ian Masters' voice never ages. This song is so beautiful.

BBC4's restoration department have de-fuzzed another great episode, this one featuring Gabrielle Drake, Tom Baker, Miriam Stoppard and Alan Coren on Frank Muir and Patrick Campbell's respective teams.

Filed under 'my favourite basslines'. #BernardEdwards #TheChicCorporation 1978

A compelling listen. #ai #EdgarAllanPoe

When will this masterpiece of an album receive the reissue it deserves? More people need to hear it! 40th anniversary edition on LTM Recordings, maybe? Track below is 'When Will I Shoot You Again?' #SFT

From Patrik Fitzgerald...

Crowdfunder for the irreplaceable @booksellercrow.bsky.social bookshop in Crystal Palace, who recently lost proprietor Jonathan Main. I've seen incredible live events there by Ben Moor and Joanna Neary and they stock a wealth of books on Crystal Palace's history.

I love this new #MaxDécharné song so much.

I love the live versions of these #USGirls songs so much. Best live band I've experienced in decades, bordering on theatre...plus they're the only group who don't over-amplify the drums! @4ad.com

'Josie Long's new show mixes megafauna, hamsters, end-times musings and everyday joys, all with warmth and...'

"Normal drummers don't play like that. Only your dad does." 2018: Hikaru Davis interviews Tony Visconti about Dennis Davis and George Murray's incredible drums and bass structure on Ashes to Ashes. (Re-presented by Nacho Video.) A joy to watch.

This 21st November concert will be tremendous. Lucky Londoners! #MaxDécharné #CenturyClub #London #November

The endless earworm (two years this month and counting).

A *genuine* Bandcamp Friday, so only one thing for it...* #MaxDécharné #DangerhouseSkylab maxdcharn.bandcamp.com (*Well, three actually!)

Winner of Best Instrumental and Best Song Title. 🏆 (Every year.) 🏆

Available to watch for one more day at @TPTVEncore: tptvencore.co.uk/product/hell...

Legal fundraiser for Dick Gaughan.

That beautiful moment when shoegaze went glam. #PhonefreakHoney #SweetJesus

If you want be reminded of how great Terence Stamp was, go and watch 'Billy Budd', 'Far From The Madding Crowd', 'Poor Cow', 'The Hit', 'Priscilla', 'The Limey', or 'Song For Marion'. Remembering him for playing General Zod would be like remembering Judi Dench for playing Old Deuteronomy.

Any band who can follow those time-signatures must be worth hearing. (Gig is in Grimsby. Ticket link below.) > www.weticketit.com/showfilmfirs...

Makes me miss the DLR all the more! (Maybe it's because I'm not a Londoner.)

Calling all #KitchensOfDistinction and #StephenHero fans! This matinee concert will be tremendous. 👇 Saturday 20th September at The Glad Cafe, Glasgow.

"And one by one, they put on their ska suits, their nutty hats, and lo, they were nutty," said Bedders with more than a hint of weary sarcasm. And lo, they had manufactured an effective commercial image. But it seemed to be driving them mad.' > beverleyglick.substack.com/p/absolute-m...

Bless you, Terry Reid.

This was a revelation to me; a car-jacking drama starring Richard Mottau, Richard Beckinsale, Patrick Murray (Mickey Pearce from Only Fools & Horses), Vicki Brown and Edward de Souza.
