@ricardoautobahn.co.uk I regret to inform you that Makings Of A Murderer, having regenerated, is at it again in 2027.

Slightly late, but here's a recent photo of Shania Twain about which there is nothing else that is notable. #totp

@neilsmiles.com Just been alerted by @benbaker.bsky.social to this NME advert. Have you still got the compilation of his adverts you made for the other place?

"Freddie Barratt seeks a song to record with a view to reaching the Top Ten", and if you've seen his vocal duties for his Barrett's Liquor Mart adverts from the early months of Channel 4 you'd have welcomed the prospect. (NB. Freddie Barrett did not go on to form Bardo)

Post a pic of the venue where you saw your first concert and the band or artist.

Ash circa Nu-Clear Sounds, as that was what they were promoting. Idlewild supported.

Leicester's De Montfort Hall, shining so bright.. Don't think that statue is there any more.

Underrated part is how, on a tour of such wild 24 hour swings, this journey requires an extra day.

A road journey from Kettering's Lighthouse Theatre to Leicester's De Montfort Hall. In fairness it *can* be tricky to park around the latter.

Been fun having a quick look through my photos from around this time. Look, here's embryo Self Esteem!

Slow Club, End Of The Road Festival 2007. She's the one on the right.

If you see this, post a concert photo you took.

Really, tomorrow's BBC Four line-up is more interesting in its own way.

Tomorrow's BBC Four schedule, which is before midnight entirely comprised of Back To The Future, Funny Girl and The Graduate. It's much the same idea next Thursday too (All About Eve, Gladiator, When Harry Met Sally)

"The Isle of Wight hasn’t exactly been a hotbed of musical success, with only Level 42 and The Bees really jumping the channel to capitalise on their local promise."

Wet Leg, a highly popular modern band from the Isle of Wight.

There they are, all the lads.

A man claiming to be Father Abraham surrounded by people in lifesize costumes of Kermit the Frog, Fozzy Bear, Sam the Eagle and an eldritch horror that logic can only assume was meant to be Miss Piggy. He looks bemused, as well he might.

I had no idea until this week that John Stonehouse all but died live on Central Weekend. He had a minor heart attack, then the major one which killed him while recuperating.

I think it's been changed now, but @skillagesteve.bsky.social once found a cracker.

@dirtyfeed.org Watching last night's Only Connect BBC anniversary special and thought of you for some reason.

I've often wondered why the Waitresses don't get the annual chart boost that many Christmas records played less often do, and I suspect this could be a contributory factor.

I cannot join in with the mockery of ITV's Christmas Day schedule, having written in-depth this time last year about their 1993 Christmas Day schedule which earned them a reprimand from the ITC. #moviesgamesandvideos
