Song Of The Day - Part 1 Today it is 1 year since we lost the F1 legend,Eddie Jordan. Whenever I think of him,this song always comes to mind after an interview that EJ, David Coulthard & Jake Humphrey did with PSY at the Korean Grand Prix in '12 that 1/2 youtu.be/9bZkp7q19f0?...

Song Of The Day Keeping with the positive energy, this Tori Amos track that was remixes by Armand Van Helden always picks up my spirits. There's sunshine outside my window today & it works well with that. I hope the sun is shining with you. 🌞 youtu.be/Zqae5qyopok?...

Song Of The Day After the downbeat news of Ginger Wildheart's incurable diagnosis, he requested no sadness & only positivity, so I've opted for some uplifting music from Mavis Staples as she's always good for the soul. 💕 youtu.be/ANw38xX_EuM?...

Song Of The Day Last year for my 'Song Of The Day' selections,if you combined both his solo tracks & work fronting The Wildhearts,then Ginger Wildheart was the artist I picked most For every dark moment in my teens,his music was there to pick me up. 1/4 youtu.be/SPAYPyM9Mvs?...

Wishing Ginger Wildheart all the best. I don’t say this lightly, but he’s the greatest rock songwriter of my generation. 🖤

Song Of The Day I just finished reading Melanie C's autobiography. It was a fascinating, powerful & often moving read. I've been a Spice Girls fan since I first saw them on late night TV back in '96 (while waiting up to watch Brazilian metal Sepultura) 1/3 youtu.be/hT8m63PIN7E?...

Song Of The Day Another one from Thursday's quiz night. While 'Torn' is the track most associated with Natalie Imbruglia, I have always preferred a lot of her other songs & this is one of my absolute favourites that really deserves to be heard more I hope you enjoy it ☺️ youtu.be/3Vt0d9YlTC4?...

Song Of The Day Today's pick is this gem of a track by The Wonder Stuff, featuring the late, great Kirsty MacColl. It was one of the tracks played at last night's quiz night & it instantly put a smile on my face. Hope it makes you smile too 😁 youtu.be/plP-ekxhN7E?...

Song Of The Day - Part 2 The last track I've picked to mark Liza Minnelli's 80th birthday is the 1989 hit 'Losing My Mind'. Originally from the Stephen Sondheim musical 'Follies', Liza's version was produced by the Pet Shop Boys & is an absolute banger. youtu.be/ruaZarDQfXE?...

Song Of The Day - Part 2 The second track I've picked to mark Liza Minnelli's 80th birthday is one of her iconic performances from the film 'Cabaret'. Quite honestly,she's perfect from start to finish & if you haven't seen it then I really recommend it. youtu.be/DgjOedirhcQ?...

Song Of The Day - Part 1 Today is the 80th birthday of the legendary Liza Minnelli, so I've picked 3 songs by her to mark the occasion. First is a duet between Liza & her mother, the equally legendary,Judy Garland from 1961 where they performed their 1/2 youtu.be/3Wmxh2xC4eo?...

Song Of The Day Now, Cilla Black was not the world's greatest singer &, by all accounts, was also a pretty awful person but there's some of her songs that I just really love. 1/2 youtu.be/s4_J_qG7K-g?...

Song Of The Day My 5-year-old daughter wanted to get to pick a song for my song of the day post, so I let her have a turn & she chose this current hit by Ella Langley. She hopes everyone likes it. youtu.be/hLOheGDwD_0?...

Song Of The Day Yesterday we lost Country Joe McDonald at the age of 84. His anti-Vietnam War song 'I-Feel-Like-I'm-Fixin'-To-Die Rag' was one of the most powerful moments of the Woodstock Festival. 1/2 youtu.be/bu9c10xmVCI?...

Song Of The Day - Part 2 My second Joan Baez recording, as I celebrate #InternationalWomensDay, is a more challenging listen. At the end of the album of the same name is this 21 minute recording that mixes song & spoken word. 1/3 youtu.be/p4a8xFesASg?...

Song Of The Day - Part 1 Today is #InternationalWomensDay & I've picked two tracks by one of my most favourite female singers. Joan Baez is someone I've been blessed with seeing live twice. Her voice is magical & her ability to write songs of great 1/3 youtu.be/tWc2xRf1qQs?...

Just watched Molly vs The Machines. These tech-bro motherfuckers have to be brought to account. Sheryl Sandberg is a real life human vampire. R.I.P. Molly Russell.

The never ending cycle of social media culture which has infected absolutely every touch point of our lives. Everyone should watch Molly vs The Machines. Including the chiefs at Monzo www.theguardian.com/money/2026/m...

Song Of The Day Honestly, this song by Teya & Salena is one that ends up stuck in my head on a regular basis, so I'm going to let it go into everyone else's heads today 😉 youtu.be/1HrkGf_4ZCg?...

1/ There's so much to take away from Molly Vs THE MACHINES, the searing Channel 4 film about the suicide of 14-year-old Molly Russell, who took her own life in 2017 after being fed a diet of content about self-harm on social media. www.channel4.com/programmes/m... #LALY26....

The Molly Russell documentary (UK, March 2026) shows platforms knew harmful content patterns and kept them live. The design issue: engagement algorithms cannot distinguish compelling from harmful. They optimize for the same signal. That is a choice, not a flaw.

Song Of The Day The other day I heard this song by Cleopatra that I haven't heard in ages. I thought it would give some good energy for a Friday, so I hope you enjoy it ☺️ youtu.be/KsmrtZhBM-4?...

Molly vs the Machines: the film you must watch with your teens www.thetimes.com/article/2398...

Watching Molly Vs the Machines on C4 and it is heartbreaking and enraging in equal measure. Painful but recommended viewing. Hoping that it has a similar impact on public opinion as Mr Bates vs the Post Office did.

Just watched Molly vs the Machines on Ch4. Heartbreaking. UK Govt must act now to protect children from big tech, aided and abetted by Trump #LabourParty @labourlewis.bsky.social @labourlist.bsky.social @sarahhall-labour.bsky.social Follow Australia’s example, please 🙏 before it’s too late

Tonight on Channel 4 at 9pm. Molly Vs The Machines is one of the most important documentaries you may ever watch. Please give it your time & see just how little big tech & social media care, as long as you are locked in to them & their content. 💜 #MollyVsTheMachines youtu.be/YH0bOI1toZM?...

This year's World Book Day outfit. My 5-year-old daughter is being the ghost from the Julia Donaldson book 'The Baddies'. She was not happy that I wasn't a make-up artist & couldn't get her to look exactly like the ghost in the book 🙄 #WorldBookDay2026 #JuliaDonaldson

Song Of The Day - Part 2 20 years ago today, I also got to see The Like for the first time. I can't recall, now, how I'd heard of them but I do know that it was love at first listen & that afternoon I was finally getting to see them live.1/2 youtu.be/PNKo2Wgo_54?...

Song Of The Day On Saturday night Rosalía gave this amazing performance, featuring the legendary Björk, at the BRIT Awards & I've been listening to her music ever since. I'd seen her name being mentioned online a lot, late last year, but hadn't heard anything by her. 1/2 youtu.be/7fyufPkXLbs?...

Song Of The Day While many people mocked George Michael when this song was released in 2002, I think that he was a lot more accurate than people gave him credit for. 14 years on, it feels like the same story, just some of the faces have changed... youtu.be/ABhZQ_VRbsQ?...

Song Of The Day The other day this track from Babyface popped up on shuffle on my iTunes. I'd not heard it in ages & was struck by how good it still sounds, so I thought I'd share it. ☺️ youtu.be/lBPEkEOUUp0?...

While I agree with the first half, BAFTA and BBC fumbled it, the second half is gross, unacceptable and ableist. I’m shocked Hill doesn’t recognize this dangerous reasoning can and has been used to keep black folks (and others) suppressed. All parties deserve dignity and respect. Davidson included.

I posted this as a reply, the other day, to a post by a former TV presenter, now podcaster's post on Instagram. I felt like I must look so pathetic & needy, but I secretly hoped someone would 'see me'. Why is it so hard to say these things out loud in the real world?
