Jo @qosephine.bsky.social · 14/10/2026To attack the mouse or to loll around indolently? Such a hard decision! 010
Jo @qosephine.bsky.social · 12/10/2026Some, er, very memorable songs here. Casanova gets my main vote but Push It had a special dance at my junior school disco and I will perform it when it reaches the final. 051
Jo @qosephine.bsky.social · 12/10/2026I'm glad they clocked you as the face of their new shop immediately. 000
Jo @qosephine.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Yeke Yeke makes me want to run around in circles like an excitable dog. 030
Jo @qosephine.bsky.social · 09/10/2026This is a difficult group! Gwen Guthrie made me laugh with "I will have to avoid you if you're unemployed", but Mel and Kim would probably party with the unfortunate fellow regardless. 051
Jo @qosephine.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I heard 'Dancing on the Sealink' twice in two days and it was less fun the second time around, but I hear Lionel Richie's been poorly recently and hope he gets better. However, I will never get tired of hearing about UB40 and their rat troubles! Look at the size of it! 061
Jo @qosephine.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I hadn't heard 'The Rain' for years and when Oran 'Juice' Jones suddenly started talking to me about my terrible behaviour, I jumped out of my skin. 181
Jo @qosephine.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Can I have more bonuses please? None of these should be left behind! 031
Jo @qosephine.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I sing this song around the flat so much that my boyfriend started investigating whether it had a strong political message eg the rat was some kind of traitor to the miners' strike - but it turned out that it was just about a rat in Ali Campell's kitchen. 131

Jo @qosephine.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I visited Nantes, the birthplace of Jules Verne, and got the theme tune to 80 Days Around the World stuck in my head for four whole days. Your turn! www.youtube.com/watch?v=1nGr...youtube.com80 Days Around the World IntroYouTube video by cartoonintros 131
Jo @qosephine.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Back to Life is also one of the best songs ever so it's all fine! 120
Jo @qosephine.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Inner City - Good Life London Boys - Requiem The Pasadenas - Tribute (Right On) Roachford - Cuddly Toy Think these are all from the same year, sorry - I was 11 so I loved everything! 1280
Jo @qosephine.bsky.social · 25/09/2026I am very excited as this is peak Top 40 listening era for small me! Hoping to nominate some top tier chart fluff, though I will be on trains all day. 010
Jo @qosephine.bsky.social · 25/09/2026I feel more like I might have signed up to go on a date with a train. 110
Jo @qosephine.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Very exciting email from the French train I've booked to travel on tomorrow: "Nous partons ensemble demain et sommes ravis que vous nous ayez choisis.Vous allez aimer la grande vitesse à la française!" I bet! 130
Jo @qosephine.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Apparently the new film about Oasis' reunion tour features snippets from a church sermon where the minister tells his congregation it's a great example of forgiveness. But of course! 001
Jo @qosephine.bsky.social · 15/09/2026It's diagonal chess, they are too advanced for the traditional moves. 000
Jo @qosephine.bsky.social · 11/09/2026My week has been very much improved by watching this video several times, the entire premise of which seems to be that it is good fun to get drunk in Leamington Spa and eat sweets. Go on the kids, and may I never have to camp next to you at a festival. youtu.be/xv6j3f65MWs?...youtu.be300SkullsAndCounting & Jenny Sparks - The Ballad of St. Nick's ParkYouTube video by 300SkullsAndCounting 020
Jo @qosephine.bsky.social · 10/09/2026(I know 'It's All Right' is not a Pet Shop Boys original but Neil Tennant likes to sing "wa-havelength" so their version is the best.) 010
Jo @qosephine.bsky.social · 10/09/2026The past and future of pop music is contained within this song! And it has a pointless reggae break just to make sure you don't enjoy it too much! Well done Rush. 130
Jo @qosephine.bsky.social · 10/09/2026This week I have been enjoying 'The Spirit of Radio' by Rush, which I mostly know from St Etienne sampling it. But some of the lyrics are about hearing music on a timeless wavelength - just like 'It's All Right' by the Pet Shop Boys - and they also quote 'The Sound of Silence' by Simon & Garfunkel! 130
Jo @qosephine.bsky.social · 10/09/2026MBV lyrics are pure filth! I didn't notice this when I was 15 but I think my young people colleagues who love shoegaze have cottoned on. 010
Jo @qosephine.bsky.social · 29/08/2026Where is this? Not that I need any more record shops in my life! 100
Jo @qosephine.bsky.social · 28/08/2026The south remains cloudy, but this is allowable, unlike yesterday when I went out in the rain and found there was a great big hole in my SHOE! 110
Jo @qosephine.bsky.social · 27/08/2026TBF Hot Fuzz did the same for 'Lovefool' youtu.be/GFJrQ94q2cY?...youtu.beHot Fuzz - Lovefool SceneYouTube video by Toxyn Corvin 041
Jo @qosephine.bsky.social · 26/08/2026Good Lord! How did The Cardigans get this far? Was everyone so busy grumbling about Belle and Sebastian that a stealth twee army marched through? I will cut them a little slack as my Gen Z co-worker adores them, but it's an easy choice for me. 081
Jo @qosephine.bsky.social · 26/08/2026I've read quite a few good posts about Dolly Parton today, but liked this one the best. 010
Jo @qosephine.bsky.social · 26/08/2026See you there! I'm almost tempted to leave after Thee Headcoatees... 110
Jo @qosephine.bsky.social · 24/08/2026Still can't hear 'Need You Tonight' by INXS and Michael Hutchence growling "There's something about you, girl, that makes me sweat" without retorting "Well go and have a bath you Australian perv!". Thanks to the writers of Smash Hits 1989 for keeping me on the straight and narrow all these years. 070
Jo @qosephine.bsky.social · 23/08/2026Yes, sorry, I checked a couple of days ago and your assumption is correct. 010
Jo @qosephine.bsky.social · 05/08/2026I've noticed these on my way to the Fairfield Halls bus stop and admired them. Thanks to everyone who's brightened up the streets! 110
