    Top of the Pops 1994 gets more random... presented by Meatloaf featuring Garth Brooks *

    * By satellite. Not from Croke Park. Don't mention the war.

    Credit where it is due, it's a reminder how many tunes were coming out of Wales over the years.

    On Paddy's Day BBC4 aired a Sight and Sound episode featuring Thin Lizzy in 1983.

    Featured a great version of The Sun Goes Down, which was the group's (aptly named) last single.

    The live version is a big improvement on the studio version imo

    Jaysus Phil wasn't looking well 🙁

    Fingal County Council are certainly not competent to be making decisions about the most important piece of infrastructure on the island. They need to stick to badly designed cycle lanes and deciding on whether Mrs Murphy can have her kitchen extension.

    Seems a lot of people don't give them the recognition they deserve, "just pop songs" and all that, but their songs are all time classics, and writing amazing pop songs which will stand the test of time (i.e. not boyband crap) is a true talent in itself. Cue another favourite band of mine, Erasure...

    Anyone ever tune into Guy Garvey's From the Vaults programme on Sky Arts, kind of like Top of The Pops but most recently showing archive clips from the Channel 4 Tube series.

    I tune into it from time to time. It's not just The Tube and not necessarily the charts (unlike Top of the Pops). It has archive footage of various musical performances on ITV and Channel 4. It is interesting for a number of reasons, including the fact that it does not include any BBC performances, which we always get on BBC4.

    Guy Garvey is a great show - from the ITV archives so lots of 70s stuff but also Tony Wilson's various activities on Granada.

    Yep Hall & Oates are great. And I say that as someone whose core listening would be punk and post-punk.

    I'll take your word for it on Erasure though 😁

    Deadline has reported that the BBC are not going to close down BBC Four after all. They had initial proposals out for licence fee payers in the UK to just put BBC Four, BBC News Channel and CBBC online-only on iPlayer.

    https://deadline.com/2023/03/bbc-considers-bbc4-closure-u-turn-1235314448/#comments

    However; the BBC DG, Tim Davie, wants to leave the channel on linear platforms but no official decision has been made yet from the BBC.

    Seperately the relaunch of BBC Three has not been that successful since the new series of Ru Paul's Drag Race launched on the channel last year.

    Loving this ‘Reggae At The BBC’ programme on BBC Four at the moment - some stone cold classics!

    ’Stir It Up’ live on OGWT - superb :)

    Nate Dogg the only decent thing so far. Thankfully I was a million miles away from this in 1994.

    Catching up on last night's TOTP after the snooker pushed it out. I recorded the 'When Albums Ruled the World' slot to pickup the delayed TOTPs.

    The 80s episodes were classic TOTP :)

    The 90s episodes struggling in comparison, although I liked Julian Clary's intro to Wet Wet Wet and Love is All Around:

    "8 weeks at Number 1 - is it necessary?"
