Catching up on last night's Top of the Pops and remembering that - for some reason - I have an Oxide and Neutrino presentation disc I had completely forgotten about. Less Bound 4 Da Reload than it is Bound 4 Da car boot sale. #TOTP

Obscured by some random 'top of the shelving unit' detritus, a legit presentation disc for Oxide and Neutrino's album, Execute - given to me during the last days of Our Price, I think.

I like that Neil Norman has two personas on Sky Arts documentaries. Standard Neil for movies and Rockin' Neil for music.

Film and theatre critic Neil Norman on Sky Arts discussing Sidney Lumet and sporting a sober 2-piece suit and tie combo.

Heading out shortly to look at a £10 FB Marketplace vinyl job lot - on the basis of four records looking quite nice in the pics. The pics and listing were quite vague, however, so I suspect a trip to the recycling centre is on the cards for the weekend.

This wasn't released as a single in the UK, but demand for it was so strong that it was imported from Holland in such quantities that it became the highest placed import single in chart history. The second highest placed? Also The Jam, with That's Entertainment. They were a pretty popular band.
