Despite never being the coolest kid on the block I’ve always thought Mark Goodier was an absolute effing pro. And he once played Sowing the Seeds Of Love twice in a row on his Radio 1 show when it was released because he thought it was so good. And he was right of course. #totp

Love the Big Match Revisited for the social history as much as the “tricky surface” football. This week, saucy flick “du jour” Emmanuelle (“Don’t Miss…”) advertised next to The Best of (One Day At A Time Sweet Jesus hitmaker) Lena Martell. Two late Chelsea goals meant the game ended 3-3.

A 2025 obsession that continues into 2026 is the great films on @talkingpicturestv.bsky.social with Edward Woodward starring in super-rare British supernatural chiller The Appointment at 9.55pm tonight, Jan 1st.

40 years old this week (I’d say today but that was a Friday and records were released on a Monday in the UK in 1985). ABC’s How To Be A Zillionaire. It’s a pop masterpiece and still sounds ruddy ace.

It was 40 years ago today… I was sat in the back of a Vauxhall Cavalier, returning from the family holiday in Devon listening to Live Aid on the radio. My lovingly preserved copy of Ver Hits now my trusty guide as I work my way through the BBC2 repeat… #liveaid #liveaid40

I love this comic so much. "But-" MONETIZE YOUR FREE TIME
4 panel comic.

Panel 1: A man is happily knitting. He thinks what a relaxing hobby he has. A purple demon emerges from behind the couch and angrily bellows TURN IT INTO A SIDE HUSTLE

panel 2: "Can't I just enjoy it?" NO! MAKE YOUR PASSION YOUR PASSIVE INCOME

panel 3: "But-" MONETIZE YOUR FREE TIME the demon bellows inches from his face

Panel 4: the man glowers unhappily behind a display of multicolored scarves, his booth is titled Kevin's Stupid Scarves. Each sells for $20, which is comically undervalued.

A few days off & a pile of books to enjoy. First off & finished already is @wadeywade.bsky.social 1984 The Year When Pop Went Queer. An engaging cultural history lesson showing how pop pushed back against 1980s prejudice & homophobia. With a banging playlist to boot. Highly recommended.
A book cover with the title 1984, The Year Pop Went Queer. The author is Ian Wade.

RIP Brian Wilson, one of the best to ever do it. He was haunted by how good “Be My Baby” by the Ronettes is and he was right to be.
