Bloody Beeb 4 – got caught up in the guitar doc (possibly not for the first time – can’t remember) :pac:, and now must avoid being sucked into the showband one :eek: and go to bed

Cant wait for Miles Davis, also and this is only a Fleetwood Mac right now but there's been some chatter about Sky Arts going FTA which would be a boon for us Freesat/Linux Box types.

D'you know if push came to shove I'd nearly trade a huge chunk of Fleetwood Mac for Stevie and Tom Petty, keeping the old stuff like Albatross of course.

Hello, news this week of new Ready Steady Go! Doc and compilation on BBC4. This is all new as the rights to that 60s TOTP competitor were previously held by Dave Clark of the Dave Clark 5 who likes to think he was the only thing that mattered back then.

Needs big speakers for the bass. Was shocked when I found it was one of his.

I can't think of any other UK Number One hits for which Bill Shankly appears in the video


His vocals are sampled in the Anfield Rap, but that only got to Number 3

Even though I was born in the 90s I always find songs from the 50s and 60s instantly recognizable for some reason

Feels like BBC Four is cheating on TOTP here

I dunno what it is about Eric Burdon but someone should have a word with him about wearing sunglasses while speaking Geordie.

Tonight I have been mostly watching duets from Tom Jones's old ATV/ABC shows and I have no regrets whatsoever

Sky Arts or BBC Four need to show compilations of these

Ah so that's where Prince got his mid 80s look (after the ill-received 'dirty mac and fishnets' phase)
