People who write “Replies off…” will be first against the wall come the revolution and deservedly so.
The biggest surprise I’ve had this year while listening to files for the Peel blog was discovering that The Waitresses were a “proper“ band, with records released prior to Christmas Wrapping. I’d always assumed they were a novelty act fronted by two girls working in the CBS Records canteen.
Re:Death of Dick Cheney - well, it’s a start, I suppose.
Always felt his drumming at the end of Dandelion is him saying, “Why are you making me play this shit?”
It could be argued that the 80s never ended.

Since 9/11, the world feels like it’s been locked in a spiral of people trying to recreate all the worst elements of the period between 1914-1985. Where’s the 21st century Gorbachev figure who’s going to wipe the slate clean?

With him now hosting It Takes Two:
Having gone from the Bake Off to QI, it must be Sandy Toksvig’s turn. Maybe with Matt Lucas?
The Faithfuls in The Celebrity Traitors are still useless at the game.
Did they play Never and I Don’t Know Why I Love You, two songs by The House of Love which both peaked at Number 41?
“Karma, karma, karma, karma, karma chameleon
If we fight like animals
We die like an-i-mals“
I’d have put Balvinder through as well, but Chris has had the misfortune to be the first contestant to be stiffed by the change in judging format. #strictly
