Thanks @johnp69.bsky.social for another great party. I don't mind admitting to you all that I've only got to grips with 70s rock music recently, having always preferred soul and funk once we get to the 70s. But I think that's why I've always rated George's solo stuff from this period #extratexture50

Piano intro for His Name Is Legs is totally Oh! You Pretty Things. And the rest of it is Dark Horse. Haha! #extratexture50

I don't like the sound of the drums on Grey Cloudy Lies, they're too overpowering. Everything else is arranged well and it's a lovely melody too #extratexture50

Tired Of Midnight Blue is another mood tune. Dreamy in a nightmareish way or nightmareish in a dreamy way? Can't decide. Haha! #extratexture50

Can't Stop Thinking About You is maybe my least favourite. There's not much to it but Klaus' bass stands out #extratexture50

World Of Stone is another song that sounds rooted in a 70s soul mould. And I like it. David Foster is the star of the show here #extratexture50

Ooh Baby is not so much of a song as a mood. I don't think this is a bad thing #extratexture50

But, to me, it does sound like it was the guitar on This Guitar that Macca was trying to emulate on Now and Then #extratexture50

This version of This Guitar annoys me a bit. I wish he would be himself rather than trying to imitate Dylan #extratexture50

I love how the song breaks down from "we think so little..." Such a lovely arrangement #extratexture50

The Answer's At The End feels like a song following on from LITMW but there's a proper 70s soul feeling to the song too #extratexture50

You really reminds me of something and I can't quite think of what it is and it is going to bug me until I remember. Any ideas? #extratexture50

That breakdown is really motown but You is a very 70s sounding pop song #extratexture50

Daily Mail owner DMGT has just signed a deal to buy the Telegraph, which would unite the UK’s two strongest right-wing papers under one owner.
It will almost certainly trigger a competition probe. Another major moment coming for Lisa Nandy as culture secretary.

While it feels like I'm repeatedly slamming my head against a brick wall repeating this massively simple concept. Saying "Reform would be worse" doesn't make what Labour is doing better. Labour is now the most anti-immigration, anti-any marginalised group, government we have seen in decades. 1/
Very long thread: As with many of Labour's anti-immigration policies, this isn't new. British police have been stationed in other countries for this purpose for a long time
It does however show how Labour is pushing more on anti-immigration than previous governments. 1/
