Lovely tribute to Dolly by @thisisthekit.bsky.social in Edinburgh this evening, only slightly spoiled by the bloke next to me then singing Stand By Your Man to his girlfriend

The Australian country rock version… possibly my favourite LWTUA cover of all. Disappointingly, the backing band are all men and don't look like they've been anywhere near a prison. Love Will Tear Us Apart #8 lwtua.weebly.com/home/categor...

The country rock version! And one of the early indications that LWTUA could survive virtually any genre it was subjected to. It's less common than many of the other LWTUA covers – I couldn’t find...

I didn’t know that, and I love that song. Thanks for the public service 🙏 Mind you it was only a couple of months ago I found out that Young at Heart is a cover of a Bananarama album track, 40 years after it came out.

Thanks so much for bringing DG back into the light Jude. I devoured his 70s and 80s albums after seeing him at the Band on the Wall in Manchester while a student there. What a voice! Had no idea this had all happened to him. Have just donated to the campaign 🙏

This whipped-up controversy means we’re now denied seeing on iPlayer the lovely moment when Bobby Dylan gave his daughter a sweaty hug on stage, and she made that look universal to girls & young women across the planet when confronted with their dads, whom they love dearly, being completely gross.

3 lovely things from the world of a very smalltime DJ. So the second week of the month is usually the quietest, so \i packed a more chilled set than usual. There was of course lots of Brian Wilson and Sly Stone in the bag. A guy came in and heard me play 'Lets go away..' & 'You caught me smiling'>
