And to the fine #forgotten80s faithful, it's been lovely to see the week out with you once more.

Will be over in France next week visiting Kit's parents - may not be around (wish us luck, as we'll be having the convo with them) so see you in a fortnight! Until then, love and big hugs to you all!

Blimey, the SOTN podium is going to be crowded tonight! "Love Is In Control" is an absolute banger.

I also had a pager! And yes, I can still remember the number of it, although I guess you're not at all surprised by that revelation! #forgotten80s

(and yes, I KNOW Lay Your Hands On Me predates the Mega Drive by a good 7 years or so. Just an observation of how similar they sound to my ears.

Hopefully that's good enough for any passing Bluesky police, ready to pounce on people to shout at them for sins like not giving context to their posts)

Thompson Twins with their homage to the level music to Labyrinth Zone from Sonic The Hedgehog on Mega Drive (a mashup waiting to happen).

Marvellous stuff #forgotten80s

"Zambezi" always makes me smile whenever I hear it, and sometimes that's all you need in a song.

(it's maybe a good thing that @littlegreyboat.bsky.social isn't currently hearing this, as they always end up with it as an earworm for days afterward!) #forgotten80s

The opening fanfare of PhD's "I Won't Let You Down" is one of the best musical moments of the entire 1980s #forgotten80s

Also: paging @nikkcade.bsky.social here if he hasn't seen these already, as I know this will be right up his street - there's even a mention of Teletext!

I know Matthew doesn't really do social media these days but I really hope he knows just how much the work he puts into these things is both appreciated and enjoyed by folks.

For any of you with an interest in UK TV, especially ITV, then I hereby commend and implore you to watch Applemask's latest series "The Franchise Affair".
Superb work indeed.

Be like these too-cool-for-school smashers and come and see @spraypopmusic.com at the legendary Golden Lion in Todmorden TONIGHT! A fine evening of entertainment, anecdotes, technical peril and general chaos.

Have a pint with me!
