You've picked 3 crackers there. My favourite is Do you Know Who I Am; brilliant Mac swagger, stunning melodies, wonderful Will guitar and great lyrics including made up great words 🙂: 'Heard it, spoked it'!

This was shown on the big screen in Cheltenham last night, an absolute treat! Have only seen it once on TV decades ago. Intelligent, funny, shocking, original - faultless for me (if you have a fault with it please don't tell me 🙂). Frances is amazing, did she get an Oscar for it? #FilmSky

Keep an ear out and I'll reckon you'll hear them singing those songs when they're walking round the house!

My ex about 25 years ago said in the Christmas hols "oh good, it's on. We'll watch it". Me "I'm not watching that rubbish". Bless her, she made me watch it with her and I loved it inside about 3 minutes. Youth is indeed wasted on the young!

Good man! A super film and super soundtrack. I have found that the people who take the piss are the ones who've never seen it.

On World Poetry Day, here’s a reminder of the power of poetry and its potential to change the world.
The Power of Poetry
 
with things falling apart
and anarchy let loose,
 
it was only poetry, he found,
which had any use,
 
so he reached for his copy  
of The Complete Works of Yeats
 
and bludgeoned the President
of the United States

34 years old and the 7 and a half minute Paul Oakenfold remix is still excellent! He manages to turn a sad song (which works well sad) into a euphoric dancefloor beauty, with great female vocals. Super artwork too. #NewOrder

Tom Wiffen @tomwiffen10.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
Hope you enjoy it! There are 6 quality songs on there imho, and another big plus is the electronic sounds have not dated a day 💕. P.s. sounds best on vinyl 🙂 (I also have the cd).

Tom Wiffen @tomwiffen10.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
With those overplayed hits, e.g. don't u want me, whole of moon etc etc, it's weird for me, when they come on in the cafe/pub my heart sinks, when they are on my stereo in album order I really enjoy them. How about you?

After hearing Sound Of the Crowd on @6music.bsky.social the other day it inspired me to pull this out 💗. Blimey there are some fantastic songs on here! And are the last 3 songs one of the best 3 song finishes to an album of all time?! Off the top of my head only Technique by New Order just shades it

There's a good pub in Cheltenham where the juke box is free of charge every Monday 💗!

Bristol has been carved up between FKA Twigs (Cheltenham) and Tears For Fears (Bath) here. It's a Bristolian's nightmare. Massive Attack barely visible. I can't support this vision of the future.

You have to admit the lyrics to radio song are execrable! Someone crying because the radio is playing a crap song?! (perhaps Radio Song? 😉)

There are some brilliant songs on it but for me some very poor ones. I now have it on cd so I can skip. I will check out those demos, thanks.

I think G is near perfect, and you have to commend the ambition of the band - there are so many musical styles here e.g. the wrong child is a million miles from Pop Song, both brilliant. A 9/10 LP for me, maybe a 9.5.

Great to see someone actually making positive change. A breath of fresh air after Starmer's flip flopping.

Time to terminate Thomas Tuchel: 1) “If Harry doesn't slip we win the game, we were clearly the better team until that moment.” “If we had won, we would have have deserved it…” 2) He is tactically naive. 3) He was never good enough to be England manager, and never will be. 4) Eddie Howe fits well.

A distant bell has rung in my head- in a interview Green era, Peter said Green was their best album, quite rightly obviously @grahamh.bsky.social .
