#5DebutAlbumsFinal Some artists take time to bloom. And some are born, fully-formed. Kate Bush is the latter kind, capable of turning pop on its head at the age of 19. It stands to reason that such artists have outstanding debuts. The Kick Inside could hardly be more impressive. #musicsky #vinyl

As sad as it was to hear the news of Dolly Parton, it's been genuinely heart warming to read so many of the tributes to her in the hours since her passing. With more and more details of her empathetic behaviour being revealed each moment. What an incredible woman. What an incredible life 🖤x

Libraries are the last proof that the richest things in life are free.

Tiered wooden shelves hold books along two galleries, with a stained glass window, a round clock, and carved lions on marble at the right. Below, people read and work at long tables, laptops and bottles beside them. A white-haired man in a pale shirt sits nearest, turned away. Red and cream patterned carpet covers the floor.

#MusicChallenge #HappyMusic Day 15 Blondie- Dreaming This high-energy tune with its uplifting chorus never fails to cheer me up. The song was inspired by Abba's Dancing Queen and it is also thought to be based loosely on Chris Stein and Debbie Harry's first meeting. youtu.be/TU3-lS_Gryk?...

RIP William Orbit, who produced several indelible hits for other people (Ray of Light, Pure Shores, Tender) and some beautiful music of his own, like this tune with a very young Beth Orton. One of the people who defined the sound of the 90s www.youtube.com/watch?v=PneA...

A fan since 1990, from Obscurity Knocks and Only Tongue Can Tell on my old GLR Sunday afternoon show to this year's brilliant Bad Husband. I was saddened to hear of John Douglas's passing. Thank you, John, for being such an enduring part of the soundtrack to my life & the lives of so many others.

Bill Oddie, what a lovely bloke. He wrote us a letter when we started making The Young Ones, wishing us the very best, and warning us against interference from higher up. He didn’t know anyone in the cast personally. It just came out of the blue. Lovely thing to do.
