Emma was best solo Spice Girl - exhibit B, no further questions, m'lud

Flashbacks to my first radio job where this was one of the highlights of the playlist - today was the first time I'd heard it in about twenty years. With hindsight, there is a case to be made for Emma being the best solo Spice, but then I probably secretly thought that at the time as well

Doing this again right now!

The director of this also did the video for Running Up That Hill by Kate Bush

A thing I genuinely didn't realise - Roger Whittaker used to do a radio show where he invited listeners to send poems in and he'd make songs out of them. Silversmith Ron Arthur Webster from Birmingham sent one in, which became "The Last Farewell". Blimey!

One of the greatest records ever made, and belting video too - the reason why they're at Tintern Abbey is I believe because this was made for a Dave Cash TV series which featured pop acts filmed at locations in the HTV region

Nice recovery when he completely screws up the lyrics on the middle eight - what a pro

Me trying to be mindful at 3am My brain: And now my brain and its Orchestra presents an hour of the hits of 1993 in Tijuana style

Somebody needs to tell Ian Katz this is the kind of thing Channel 4 should still be showing now

I'm on Serenade Radio till 9pm playing the easy listening instrumental muzak I love, drawn from the charity shops and bargain bins of Europe - have a listen if you like that kind of thing: www.serenade-radio.com

I cannot find any information on The Wotsit From Whizz-Bang at all - it's just there, like we all know what it's about and we don't need an explanation

Wish there were still TV programmmes interviewing French critical theorists

The 1972 French pressing of Little Darlin'. I have no idea who the guys in that sleeve photo are, but I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that it's almost definitely not Adge Cutler & The Wurzels...

Say what you like about the film, but this is the definitive version of this song

If I ever open a roller disco, this tune will be the first one on the turntable

He has a powerful weapon He charges a million a shot An assassin that's second to none...

I actually own the quarter inch master tape for this - any reissue labels, hit me up!

I've got a version of this sung by a pre-Jack Duckworth Bill Tarmey - it was one of the go-to numbers for club singers when they wanted to get a bit funky (along with Spinning Wheel, and I've Got The Music In Me)

Good thread, this - my faves are Bert Kaempfert and Ray Davies, but then that's true of most tunes to be honest

The best car chase since sliced bread! youtu.be/osY_cUy5fsE?...

Seaside Special, 1979 - Rod Hull and Emu riding a bicycle on the pier at Blankenberge, Belgium

Flippin' love this song! I've been trying to find out who did it for years

Nice to see the 1976 Roger Moore/Lee Marvin movie Shout at the Devil getting an advertising board at Stamford Bridge with no context beyond the title.

Portrait of a man who has won at life

Finally managed to track down the birthplace of Geoff Love, easy listening music maestro and mastermind behind the wild Mandingo albums

Remember me talking about Get Your Own Back? Wouldn't it be great if someone who was there answered my annoying questions about it. Of course they did: docwallacemedicineshow.wordpress.com/2025/11/26/g...

This works for a completely different reason if you're British

BEWARD FALSE IDOLS! There is only ONE Trevor Baker All Weather Show!

Yesterday's Paddy Kingsland feature went down well, so here's the huge Radiophonic Workshop feature I wrote for @electronicsound.bsky.social in 2023. I spoke to Paddy, Roger Limb, Dick Mills, Peter Howell, Brian Hodgson and Mark Ayres and joyousness abounds. hauntedgeneration.co.uk/2024/11/19/t...

Brilliant article about one of those pieces of music that I heard in childhood that was a big influence on my musical tastes later

I'm hearing Colin Martin's letter in the voice of Skeletor

God *damn* this was hard to film

Everyone hates this show, but they're wrong, it's great. Utterly bleak and depressing, but great.

Whenever I see this photo of Wilfrid Brambell in civvies, I always imagine he's walking down the street to this tune: youtu.be/HCz3Fhe9iYI?...

Got these new trainers today but I can't get it out of my head that they look like fuckin DC Tosh Lines from The Bill

Oh my god, the Motel! It's on fire. MUM!

I mean, it's almost as good as the real thing, isn't it? Beautiful work!

Please tell me this still exists - I need it!

Ev’rybody’s talkin’ bout those trunkless legs Trunkless legs (Boop boop) And a manly kind of visage That the sands of time have wrecked (Boop boop) Trunkless legs In the desert, see the mighty staring Looking at his works and hopelessly despairing…

Sooty & Co (28th October 1996). Sooty and the gang round off their Spanish holiday by going clubbing.

Forty years ago, at 11pm, on Sat 26 Oct 1985, Channel 4 premiered An Audience with Billy Connolly. (S4C showed it nine days later.) It was watched by 4.8m people and practically everyone who saw has been word-perfect ever since. # Here's some of what else happened in Oct 85. #WhenWasThings
