Eyes down for , lads.

And a great start with the lass from Israel coming out to a song where the chorus is “I don’t care”.

Astonishing.

I really didn’t want to like this because of his nose jewellery, but dammit, it’s great. The shiny nosed shithouse.

I really didn't like this Nightcrawlers track at the time, and my attitude hasn't really changed. It's dull, but I get why it was popular.

@DJDarren Ed "Stewpot" Stewart. You may not remember him as he didn't feature in Yewtree.

It’s just been pointed out to me that the reason Apple runs a trade-in programme for older devices is so they can reduce the size of the used market, and has fuck all to do with recycling.

That’s blown my tiny mind.

According to this article, they shred literal tons of devices, regardless of whether they’re serviceable. Just yoink the battery and shred the rest.

@DJDarren @pluralistic said in his blog that "Apple's so-called "recycling" program shreds any devices you turn over to them."

Anyway, all in for this episode.

Appleby’s bassist is the most bassist looking bassist I think I’ve ever seen.

The Eighventies were a weird time for pop at the BBC. Punk had wrought havoc, disco was riding high, new wave was tramping up, and what we get here are Darts and a bunch of kids singing about a sparrow.

Fair warning, the first #Eurovision semi final is about to start, and I will be posting. Mute that tag if needs be.

I was very well aware of Bryan Adams and Bonnie Raitt at this stage, so why don't I remember this track at all?

Whatever the reason, it's not a patch on When You're Gone.

I still maintain that music videos should not be allowed to have non-music sound.

Still catching up on episodes of that I’ve missed, and this episode opens with Sleeper and, well, Louise Wener has once again rendered me insensible.

One of my favourite things about 24 Hour Party People is the shade Tony Wilson throws at Hucknall after the Sex Pistols gig in ‘77.

@DJDarren and that God scene - "it's a pity you didn't sign the Smiths, but you were right about Mick Hucknall..."

Sat next to one of those stupid big imported US tanks at a traffic light earlier. Had a fleeting thought that the roof of my Mini was about the same height as its bonnet.

And yeah, it was.

Those things are ridiculous.

@DJDarren @notjustbikes

calling these things "tanks" is not fair to the tank. An M1 tank driver has better forward visibility than the driver of many full-size pickup trucks

@LMac1970 It's a banger. It's essentially a Ben Folds track that Shatner provided the vocal for. @u0421793

This Greek lass is scaring me, she’s like one of those feral youths you get these days.

Listening out for booing. It would appear they’ve killed the audience mics.

I’d be surprised if it got through though.

Did anyone else’s stream just go down?

@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

Decided to get one of those mechanical keyboards that all the nerds love.

Pretty cool, but I’m not sure how to post my toots with it.

@tigerfort I didn’t say my gold was worth anything. I’m the Mastodon equivalent of a Ratners carriage clock.

That Stone Roses track is one of the first singles I bought with my own money. Dunno why. Guess I had some cash and I’d heard of them.

Lovely Erasure. Why they’ve never had a Mamma Mia-style musical is beyond me.

I won’t lie; Mariah banging out All I Want For Christmas in June is something of a headfuck.

I’m not a racist but it really bothers me how Americans pronounce solder as “sodder”.

There’s an L in it, Hank.
