IIRC Richard Hewson denied that these people had anything to do with him.

#NowPlaying Happy birthday Ringo 🎂 🥦

The 12” of the original version of Wonderwall is £6 at @banquetrecords.com www.banquetrecords.com/the-mike-flo...

Factoid: In Autocar’s 1975 large estate survey they had a novel way to test cubic capacity - fill the compartment with footballs while the rear seat was up which was an easy goal for the DS here though it wasn’t the winner as you can see… (📸: Autocar)

This is an interesting point I hadn't thought about. Partly because I'd never really considered that PRT wasn't classed as an independent distributor.

Just checked and this is indeed the issue of Debut that I have.

One After Canine 09, Let It Beagle, Paw My Loving, I Saw Her Spaniel There #beatledogs

Glad I didn't bother to press the "skip ads" button on TuneIn.

"She's My Baby" (from Wings At The Speed Of Sound, 1976).

Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words, and British Leyland excelled in this late-'70s Mini brochure aimed at continental markets, with the little car's qualities ably summed-up in a series of amusing photographs. #carbluesky

This is basically every story that I write about London now, you don't have to want to live with Germany bureaucracy to want someone to do very basic checks. And the 'ease of setting up a business' is great (I've done it myself! It was so easy!) but unfortunately it's created scam central nation.

They should play the match at 7pm and then again at 1am, like when a US sitcom does a live episode for the different time zones.

It may not be, ah, the part of my website getting most attention at the moment, but The Bad Shodo Diaries is my favourite project and I've just written a new one. It's about 写真, "photograph." lauradelcolbrown.com/Photograph/

This may be the most Columbo frame of Columbo that ever Columbo'd.

That keytar isn't even plugged in #TotP

I wonder if there was a housier version of this remix that was rejected by the record company? Because this seems to fall between two stools. #TotP

Rufus not pictured. #TotP

This Pet Shop Boys video looks like an advert for a car with crumple zones. #TotP

Those babies are now PUSHING FORTY. I just… what… it just… 🫠 #TOTP

Deeply appreciative of the fact Paul Heaton looks like he has just woken up from a satisfying nap in the green room #totp

A little bitta Monica in my life. A little bitta Tina...no wait, what? #TOTP

"There's was love all over me" #TotP

"Bongo" rhymes with "song go" #TotP

Par-tay #TotP

Got a licence to kilt. #TotP

Did left dancer forget to fully change out of his bus conductor uniform? #TOTP

Is Paranoimia the only hit single to mention a Teasmade? #TotP

Paranoimia was built out of snippets of Absolute by Scritti Politti, interestingly enough #totp

I've never looked into the backstory of why Wham covered Where Did Your Heart Go and granted it AA-side status. Presumably since George was on his way out of the door he was saving his own songwriting for his solo career. #TotP

Add your own topical joke here. #totp

“Sitting on a cornflake…” #totp

Would it surprise you to learn that Kevin from Brian & Michael co-produced the Claire and Friends single. Such was the power of the 12" single format that even this had a 12" mix. As did Walking in the Air and Star Trekkin'. #totp

40 YEARS AGO TODAY: Claire Usher would eventually appear in Riverdance on Broadway, which were the lengths she had to go to to get away from her one hit as essayed on #totp

I was a couple of months short of 8 and a half at this point. #TotP

Why is everyone on this #TotP trying to be Bon Jovi?

Gary Numan with a guitar looks wrong. #TotP

Happy Hour is a song I remember liking when I was 8. #TotP

Unusual voice over intro. #TotP

Suspect "what was Britney's second UK Number One single?" Is a question that would stump more than a few people. #TotP

It's a song about getting lost in North Hertfordshire. The roads lead to Hitchin (in every direction) #totp

Des Mitchell wins the "least pop-starry name in the chart" this week. #TotP

Not the theme to Brush Strokes. #totp

youtu.be/w7mLXtZWzJg?... Because Of You samples a 1972 Michael Jackson album track. Even assuming it's easier to clear the Motown stuff it must have taken some doing. #TotP

By turn of the century standards, the Manics haven't done too badly to only fall 1-4. Especially since the single was nominally deleted in the week of release. #TotP

It does seem they're making more of an effort to represent dance on #TotP in 2000, after it's been a bit underrepresented in the previous couple of years.

This is the noise the Venga Bus makes when it's reversing. #TOTP

Admittedly not my genre but I don't understand what this Hi-Gate record is for. Is it because "pitchin" sounds a bit like "bitching"? #TotP

Do Or Die sounds like John Cale being chased by a ram. #totp

Though not the shortest hit by the Super Furry Animals, Do Or Die is still pretty brief at about 2 minutes. Which is why I've drafted this post in advance. #TotP

IIRC that is the original Fontella Bass vocal sampled. #TotP
