Me and Ed getting hysterical over one of the greatest records of the 90s… do listen wherever you get your podcasts and tell other people about it please!

Sadly no BBC listings for that date, though according to TRDB ‘Tonight With Jonathan Ross’ was on that night, so possible they may have been on that. More likely, I think it’s a bit of artistic licence.

Yes, they were quite something. Slagging off the headliners, inviting the audience to heckle them, a singalong of ‘Wonderwall’, dancing to ‘Cha Cha Slide’. Never a dull moment. Don’t think Jools could cope with their bratty energy.

Saw Cowboy Hunters and Gans last night. One of the most exciting shows I’ve seen, a furious blast of energy. The saxophonist stalks the stage like Wilko Johnson in his prime. A handful of shows left, catch them if you can.

Here's a Rod Temperton playlist. He was a famously private man but left five houses in his will. Honey, the man wrote Thriller. That alone probably bought the houses, never mind Boogie Nights, Rock With You, Yah Mo Be There, Baby Come To Me and Give Me The Night open.spotify.com/playlist/2eL...

I am not making this up, it’s in the Guardian’s obit of Jeffrey Archer. The Beatles came to Oxford in 1963. They were invited to a party at Brasenose, where Archer hung out (he was never actually an undergraduate). Ringo found himself at an adjoining urinal. Later he asked Sheridan Morley -

That's some dedication to the craft.
Lord Archer died "peacefully" at home on Monday between writing sessions, according to his publisher HarperCollins.

Arguably the greatest UK no3 written initially as an instrumental for a porn film produced by Philadelphian drag pageant host Flawless Sabrina, but later turned into a full blown song thanks to complications arising from a disagreement between the U.S. and Jamaica over the latter’s bauxite trade

It's Movie Monday on the blog. There are many people - some of them claiming to be Coen brothers fans - who dislike 2016's HAIL, CAESAR!, to date the last big-screen feature they've made as a duo. I am not one of those people.

Eno did some work on demos for Television in 75 for Island, but Verlaine thought they sounded thin. Wonder if the Heads connection would have happened if Verlaine had wanted to continue working with Eno. Richard Williams will know more as he was Island’s A&R at the time I believe.

It’s ok. His voice sounds really ropy on first track but then gets better. Title track mines the same nostalgic/regretful furrow as the Madonna track, she even gets a name check. Probably the highlight of the album which I sadly probably won’t be returning to.

Okay so @defector.com has had an odd glitch since the site redesign a couple of weeks back where the wrong photo and headline are often put together on the main page and I was going to ask them about fixing it but this just happened and as far as I'm concerned they have to leave it as is.
Screenshot for a Defector podcast episode with the headline "Consider the Emotional Lives of Scallops" only the accompanying photo is a white gormless stubbled red-headed UK singer of recent notoriety giving a flat smile to the camera while wearing a washed out peach top as beige as he is against a flat background. So, actually, probably a scallop anyway.
