Just want to say to any of my pals on here, or indeed on any social platform, that if you need to talk to someone my DM's are always open. I might not be able to help, but I can listen. Y'know?

Anyway - just wanted to say that.
Cracking last three tunes.
Thanks for your company, as ever, and thanks again to @matthewjrudd.bsky.social. SOTN is a toss-up between Murray Head and the Sisters of Mercy.
Catch up next Sunday. Byeeee! #forgotten80s

I like U2. 'The Joshua Tree' is a classic album.
Bono is still an arse, though. #forgotten80s

Thank goodness for the SOM to raise the standards of the show again. Cracking tune! #forgotten80s

If we promise to stop asking for Su Pollard, will you promise never to play that again, Matthew? #forgotten80s

Anyone remember Gary Wilmot? He used to do a passable impression of Randy Crawford. Fortunately for all of us, you never see him on telly anymore #forgotten80s

A rainy night everywhere just recently. Any chance of some sun? #forgotten80s

I'm quite enjoying this hair metal thing. Sounds better than it looked, if you see my point #forgotten80s

what in God's name is this tuneless din? #forgotten80s

I asked ShatGPT to make a limerick about why artists hate AI.
I think it knows what it is, judging by this...

There once was an artist who’d swear,
“AI’s got its hands in my flair!
It gobbles my style,
Then grins all the while—
And calls it ‘new art’… it’s unfair!”

That's grim...
Bloody hell just seen this "tribute" to John Virgo on Facebook. Possibly the worst thing I've ever seen.

And will this snooker ball be the new Paddington? (Or penguin, I can't keep up).

I see we're back to "Johnson resigned because of a party" and not because he employed a known sex pest, lied about what he knew, and more than half his cabinet resigned as a result.

Bit too close to the Arsenal fans for my liking, but hey-nice to have a spot somewhere!

Shit like this is why AI is such a threat to creatives. And I'm not talking about all your ChatGPT profile pics.

This appeared on our local Facebook page. It looks crap. But it's 'good enough'. It does the job, with zero talent/money required. So who cares? Artist/designer not required.

Thanks for the company tonight, everyone - enjoyed it. cheers for putting it together, @matthewjrudd.bsky.social .

See you all here next Sunday! #forgotten80s

The bonus tune on the app is 'Blaze of Glory' by Jon Bon Jovi.
Which is interesting, because it was released in 1990. #forgotten80s

'Let The Day Begin' is a joyous noise #forgotten80s

I love that this is such a great song but all anyone is talking about on here and X/Twitter is that the title sounds like something in the toilet :-D #forgotten80s
February 8, 2026 at 10:30 PM
Ha, 'Big Log' sounds like a giant poo HAHA #forgotten80s
