    His Sunday afternoon show on BBC 6music is a firm favourite in our house for the dinner preparation, worth checking out.

    Seems that each of the 4 Fri historical ToTP episodes shown on the BEEB for the last few months has included at least one play of that Wet Wet Wet song distinguished only by the singer's hair /facial hair style 😶

    That song - Love is All Around - was Number 1 for 15 weeks in 1994. That would explain two episodes from 1994 each week, but it would not have been on the other two episodes covering earlier years. The singer’s name is Marti Pellow.

    They were number one for so long it distorted the space time continuum.

    That or maybe you are recording the end of each programme also at the start of the next...

    The space-time distortion sounds plausable all right. (I wouldn't be recording it anyway😂)

    It was a sad reflection on the state of the UK singles chart that the likes of that shìte got to number 1 in the first place never mind stayed there as long as it did. Bryan Adams too. Singles charts once reflected the happening young people of today. Maybe this was a premonition of the dead hand of the Brexit generation, miserable cûnts determined to make the lives of those younger than them at least as miserable too.

    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.

    Catching up now... the Scottish World Cup squad were higher in chart than Blondie! Eeek.

    Was it some sort of betting pool game with the presenters with the links.. dared on to work in obscure references.

    Tonight on BBC4, seems to be a new music documentary series "They All Came Out to Montreux". All three episodes will air tonight.

    Before the documentary at 9pm will be Nina Simone: Live At Montreux 1976.

    Sugababes on sky arts is quite sad, reminds me of an article I read some time ago about how the Sugababe line up could change on a whim, they were just low paid employees easily replaceable - one of the starkest examples of record company exploitation systems. Shows with this performance, minimal effort given, no show or background effort whatsoever!

    Would love if pulp were being shown live but don't think they are being?

    When I think of Sugababes touring and recording once again in 2023, I can’t help but feel sorry for poor Heidi Range.

    She was in the band for far longer than the others (through their entire imperial phase), yet completely jettisoned.

    Whilst Siobhan was only with the band for the first (underperforming) album.

    Peter Hook was the bassist and one of the founding members of Joy Division, which featured singer Ian Curtis. After the death of Ian Curtis, the three surviving members of New Order, including Peter, formed New Order. Peter fell out with the others in New Order during the second half of the '00s. His bass guitar was am important element in New Order's music, including their massive hit Blue Monday. He had a very distinctive style where he played it like a lead guitar. Peter Hook was also one-half of a side project called Monaco. Monaco had a couple of hits, including What Do You Want From Me. He was the deep-voiced lead vocalist on that song.
