That was the best version of Brimful of Asha and Good Ships was probably the best song on that album. There - I've said it #TOTP

www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025... Is the case of a surgeon called Neil Hopper amputating his own legs the most contrived and ultimately misplaced attempts at nominative determinism ever?

Speaking as a lapsed Catholic and West Brom fan in my forties, today's news is pretty much like hearing that two blokes have given up looking after the bowling green on your local park thirty years after you had a shit on it during a Diamond White session.

After nearly thirty years, it's nice to be reminded of how shite Cast were, how much of a bellend Finlay Quaye was, and how clearly Mark Lamarr expressed his disdain for all of this #totp

For context, Radiohead's 'Paranoid Android' was releasedas a single on the Monday following the broadcast of the second of tonight's 1997 #TOTP repeats. So, there's something to ponder.

Five years since we lost this genius. More than thirty years since he did this - still sounds utterly imperious and fair to say it did have massive influence on me which lasts to this day youtube.com/watch?v=felj...

I like Spiritualized as such, but I really like Spacemen 3, so I guess there's positives for heroin abuse in that respect.

I'm sorry, but it's difficult to watch the BeeGees in the latter 1990s without thinking of the Chaka Khan western shoot-out sketch off Big Train #Totp

@michaelglasper.bsky.social Reading 'No Such Thing As Society' by Andy McSmith. If it wasn't troubling enough to read that widescreen TVs were a thing in 1981, he's got a very limited knowledge of Adam and the Ants.

#raveyardshift I think few Sugarcubes songs were much improved by a remix. @justinrobertsonart.bsky.social managed it with an utterly imperious working over of Birthday, but Tony Humphries just rocks the bollocks with this one www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFLS...
