Incredible. Is that a bloodstain on the first O of his name? Not clear what Athena and Medusa are doing there, but I think you should vote for him so we can find out

Last Exit is definitely Hubert Selby material but unlistenable for me. Did we have it in that Christmas poll?

Inner West, I think? Best side of town

It is lovely, yeah, and best seen from the water, I think, rather than from some terrifying vantage point high above it :)

You've been up the bridge already, which I never managed in 15 years there, so you can pack a lot into 10 days

What if he were to cover 'Rat in mi Kitchen'?

If you haven’t quarried or hewn your tunes out of a forbidding environment, don’t talk to me about pop

If you don’t own it on 8-track cartridge, have you even heard it

112 hours, I'd better get started

Graham Meikle @meikle.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Same. I just muted the conference hashtag

Wow, the final tiebreaker in the PPP pub quiz!

The actual trap was the purple category :/

Gets truer all the time, now that original releases aren’t as constrained by format lengths, but as a VU, Bowie and Marvin fan, I wouldn’t be without some of the vault stuff

Only so many seats on the angkot

Choosin hexes, a song about witchcraft-first responses to observing a lover two-stepping with their ex

Choosin Tescos, a song about high-street brand loyalty in tough times

You've now crossed the streams with Geese discourse. This won't end well

I thought Alphabet Street vs Fuck Tha Police a likely final

Discogs has it 1987, but I'm not confident. Wish I'd thought of it sooner anyway - reminds me so much of my time in South America in 1992, when I heard it all the time (which supports your 1991 dating)

just realised 'Te Quiero Mas' is eligible :/

Yeah, forgot it was one per act per year

oh noes only one can go in?! Hadn't realised. World Cup of Sweets next year then

If 'Candy' goes deep in this, we'll have to coordinate some kind of livestream of all the regulars doing the dance

Hi Tom Can I please pick Cameo - ‘Word Up’ (1986) (Can't believe we've never had it) And then: Salif Keita - ‘Wamba’ (1987) Mel and Kim - ’That’s The Way It Is’ (1988) Soul II Soul - ‘Keep on Movin’ (1989) And if I get a bonus for picking one from each year, let’s say Shinehead - ‘Unity’ (1988)

That feeling when you finalise your list, go to check it, and realise Alpha Blondy's 'Sebe Allah Y'e' is 1985 and Ruthless Rap Assassins 'Just Mellow' is 1990... :/
