📌 #1 Added to playlist: "The Word Girl" by Scritti Politti

Was getting very nervous there, three letters down, but way too many possible options, phew! Wordle 1,559 5/6 ⬜🟨🟩🟨⬜ ⬜🟩🟩⬜🟩 ⬜🟩🟩⬜🟩 ⬜⬜⬜⬜🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Starting in Leeds as a post punk left wing protest band, Scritti Politti morphed into synth pop in the ‘80s. This from their most successful album Cupid & Psyche 85. Multiple band members, with singer Green Gartside the only constant. @listigeplaylists.bsky.social open.spotify.com/track/5KEw1m...

Please share this so that it reaches as many disabled people as possible. Disability Rebellion and Disabled People Against Cuts (DPAC) Cymru are holding an online protest on Saturday 27 and Sunday 28 September 2025 #NoShamPanel #DisabilityCuts #DisabilityBenefits

Looks accomplished, but I did spend two hours between lines two and three puzzling, hoping your mental block is less enduring than mine! Wordle 1,558 3/6 🟨⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜🟩🟨⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

📌 #1 Added to playlist: "The Boxer" by Jerry Douglas

Not sure if this counts as an official cover with Paul Simon adding some vocals? Mumford & Sons joined by legendary US dobro and steel guitar player Jerry Douglas, appears on deluxe versions of 2012’s Babel album. @listigeplaylists.bsky.social open.spotify.com/track/5UVou6...

Whilst Trump continues to spout medical rubbish, remember “drink bleach and horse wormer to cure Covid “, worth checking out the BBC podcast “The Autism Curve” for some well balanced scientific fact, which does not deny that better diagnosis may not be the whole answer?

I think that was quite lucky, really still at the eliminating common letters stage and struck gold. Be lucky. Wordle 1,557 2/6 🟨⬜⬜⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Not my usual style of music, but I caught her set on R2 in the Park and she put on an outstanding show, engaged with the audience and a powerful voice. After a number of health problems Jesse J is back with a bang, this new out. @listigeplaylists.bsky.social open.spotify.com/track/1dnttH...

📌 #2 Added to playlist: "Pocketful of Sunshine" by Natasha Bedingfield

Took a slight risk, which paid off handsomely, had a feeling it was heading in that direction. Best of luck today. Wordle 1,556 3/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜🟨⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

A little piece of brightness and cheer to start the week. This from 2007 from the UK album NB, released a year later in the US as the title track of a different, remixed album. Originally from the UK, Bedingfield now lives in New York. @listigeplaylists.bsky.social open.spotify.com/track/1uigwk...

📌 #1 Added to playlist: "Love Changes (Everything)" by Climie Fisher

I have a slightly unusual and illogical second word for some situations, and it did me proud today, two choices at three and made the wrong one, but still happy with that. Good luck. Wordle 1,555 4/6 ⬜🟨⬜⬜⬜ 🟨🟩⬜🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Who remembers this on a Sunday morning? Simon Climie and the late Rob Fisher met at Abbey Road as session musicians; they recorded together for just 4 years from 1986 before going on to separately write and produce for many others. @listigeplaylists.bsky.social open.spotify.com/track/1y748k...

Just catching up, England France, awesome, #redroses

Why do politicians on the left always prefer to fight each other than to compromise and win the bigger battle. Zarah Sultana and Jeremy Corbyn being the latest in a long line.

📌 #1 Added to playlist: "Tough Luck" by Laufey

Not the easiest today, so very happy with a three. Best of luck. Wordle 1,554 3/6 ⬜🟩⬜🟨⬜ ⬜🟩🟨⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Something new for a Saturday. Iceland’s Laufey was a 15 year old cello soloist before appearances on various talent shows and then 3 jazz inspired albums. This from the latest A Matter Of Time released last month. Worth a listen IMO. @listigeplaylists.bsky.social open.spotify.com/track/5PFjKf...

📌 #3 Added to playlist: "The Pan Within - 2004 Remaster" by The Waterboys

I always feel it is a talent to have so many letters and still arrange them into the wrong place! Good luck. Wordle 1,553 3/6 🟨🟨🟨🟨⬜ ⬜🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

40 years from the release of This Is The Sea, which often features in lists of all time great albums. Last of the “big music” trio and last with the late Karl Wallinger. This track never made it as a single but is a favourite of mine. @listigeplaylists.bsky.social open.spotify.com/track/1sAHOn...

Call me picky, but @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social - data centres do not “consume” water. They take in a litre of water, heat it up and discharge the same litre of water, no loss. With a little thought this could heat homes thus recovering the energy. Many issues with data centres, but this is not one.

📌 #2 Added to playlist: "Masquerade" by Cardinals

So, Trump voices his concerns that the UK is stifling free speech, whilst arranging for a US TV host that he disagrees with to be taken off air. Why does anyone believe him, ever?

Had a feeling that was going to drag on with a lot of possible options, but in the end ok. Patience needed I think. Wordle 1,552 4/6 ⬜🟨⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜🟩⬜🟩 ⬜⬜🟩⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Out this week from County Cork’s Cardinals, released ahead of their debut album due out in February. Not to be confused with Ryan Adams band; this group combine indie with influences of traditional music, one to watch closely for 2026. @listigeplaylists.bsky.social open.spotify.com/track/4ZrWs0...

Shocking picture, didn’t have my camera and too far for the ‘phone, but met this little family on this morning’s walk.

📌 #1 Added to playlist: "Good Year For The Roses" by Elvis Costello & The Attractions

Not a lot of options with that start and took a risk, but it was shouting out at me. Be brave! Wordle 1,551 2/6 🟩🟩⬜⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Curious fact, renowned songwriter and wordsmith Elvis Costello had two big UK chart hits with the only covers he ever released. In 81 this Jerry Chestnut country song, originally sung by George Jones, then 99’s She by Charles Aznavour. @listigeplaylists.bsky.social open.spotify.com/track/4RZCoF...

📌 #2 Added to playlist: "Ramalama (Bang Bang)" by Róisín Murphy

Back to a three and wasn’t even sure if it would accept that word. Always worth a try. Wordle 1,550 3/6 🟨🟩⬜⬜⬜ 🟨🟩⬜⬜🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Credit @NishaT for finding this gem from 2005 solo album Ruby Blue. Irish singer Róisín Murphy started as half of electronic duo Moloko before this. She is still recording and was previously Mercury prize nominated. Love or hate? @listigeplaylists.bsky.social open.spotify.com/track/1i4JlW...

Feel that I made rather heavy weather of today, suspect you will be much quicker? Wordle 1,549 5/6 ⬜⬜🟨⬜⬜ ⬜🟨⬜🟨⬜ ⬜🟨⬜🟨🟨 🟩🟩⬜🟨⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

📌 #2 Added to playlist: "Escapism." by RAYE

Starting the new week with this from Raye. Released 2022, independently after her record company refused it, this collaboration with US rapper 070 Shake was written in a remote log cabin in Utah. @listigeplaylists.bsky.social open.spotify.com/track/5mHdCZ...

📌 #2 Added to playlist: "Electrolite" by R.E.M.

Not too hard today, with not too many options left open, good luck. Wordle 1,548 3/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜🟨 🟨🟩⬜🟨⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

This for a Sunday, because it is great tune and is sadly overlooked by most. “I’m Martin Sheen, l’m Steve McQueen, l’m Jimmy Dean”. From 1996’s New Adventures In Hi-Fi” the last with Bill Berry on drums. @listigeplaylists.bsky.social open.spotify.com/track/6TU0zW...

📌 #3 Added to playlist: "Fergus Sings The Blues" by Deacon Blue

A little bit lucky that my second guess generated so many letters. Hope as good for you? Wordle 1,547 3/6 ⬜⬜🟨🟨⬜ 🟨🟩🟨🟨⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

One of Scotland’s finest and still touring and recording today with a huge back catalogue of hits to choose from. For some reason this one is rarely played. Released May ‘89 from their 2nd album When The World Knows Your Name. @listigeplaylists.bsky.social open.spotify.com/track/6xRr0M...

Name my tomato?

Sunrise this morning

No fan of Starmer, but he is a pragmatic politician, and if the left hate him so much, why didn’t they support the left wing candidates for deputy leader?

📌 #2 Added to playlist: "Bad Girls" by M.I.A.

50:50 call and I jumped the wrong way today, wishing you better luck. Wordle 1,546 3/6 🟩⬜⬜🟨⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
