Oh come on, "Sparky's Dream"! Sparky is the main character, it's all a dream ... Huge singalong potential!

In that case you must have a plot... If the Wedding Present can do a musical, so can the Fannies.

(A school friend plotted a Rob Morgan musical many moons ago...)

So much better than "Wonderful life", which appears on every 80s synth pop compilation.

We need a plot synopsis and where each song fits in. What's the big singalong finale? "Everything flows"?

When I worked at Directory Enquiries we were regularly tested on pronunciations. Milngavie was my favourite.

Good luck to everyone trying to get tickets today. The eternal paradox of asking this question to Kraftwerk fans...

But people with autism tend to have a lot of factual knowledge about their special interests ...

Dollar Country (he/him) @dollarcountry.org · 10h

I keep seeing people in power talking about autism, they seem obsessed with it, it's almost like it's one of their... special interests?

Ok, fair enough, this new Jamie Woon album could well be my next musical obsession. Inventive, intriguing, innovative.

Checking a Blue Orchids song on the Genius lyric website and it thinks I might like two songs from the latest T Swift album.

There's a Shoegaze Now playlist which could be all AI for all I know.

I watched an episode from the BBC4 reruns where they all get drunk and almost wife swap. It was unsettling.

Spotify's own self generated playlists are shite.

"Shoegaze Classics". 11 hours long. No Moose (for whom the term was invented)

"Dreampop Classics". Only 4 hours long. No AR Kane (who invented the term)

Idiots.
