Just went down an ill-advised Blankety Blank rabbit hole, and randomly clicked on the 1983 Christmas special to discover that Captain Tom Moore was one of the contestants. Terry makes a slightly saucy joke about the Captain coming from Tipps End www.youtube.com/watch?v=xlBP...

I’ve been planning on making some Middle-aged Man Talks About Records video content (because there’s obviously a deficit of Middle-aged Man Talks About Records video content on the internet) but now I don’t want to do it unless I have a Sony ECM-51 Price Is Right microphone

I still remember loading my car up with my percussion gear to perform Trickshot with Ceasefire on a TV show called The Buzz, only to receive a message on my pager (it was 1995) saying we'd been dropped from the slot because the producer hadn't realised it was riddled with swear words
Still have the original pressing.
eeeeey carlllliiiiito.

The only time I ever went to Feet First at Camden Palace was when this came out, and it was playing as we walked in. I was with one of the guys who'd made Wall Of Sound's previous best seller, and The Propllerheads had just outsold it. Never would have guessed they'd hit top 20 with Shirley Bassey

Jimmy recording The Harder They Come with Leslie Kong in The Harder They Come is pretty breathtaking as is, but hits even harder when it follows one of cinema's grubbiest fight scenes which results in Jimmy's character wetting himself while being lashed by the police www.youtube.com/watch?v=rsXe...

You know how I'm fun and cool, and I liked to spot what was on at the cinema in the background of old films? Well I just remembered that, while watching the Rebel Dread doc about Don Letts, I spotted Club Paradise on a cinema marquee in some archive footage of NYC in the 80s

Chatting with @paulmcgee.bsky.social about this one being referenced in the Guardian obit, and I'd forgotten it was the theme from Cool Runnings. I hope Jimmy and John Candy are now bob-sledding in the after life 🛷❄️

If Bluesky posts were longer I would've written "Jimmy recording 'The Harder They Come', the theme from The Harder They Come (Henzell, 1972), with Leslie Kong in The Harder They Come (Henzell, 1972)..."

I included it on this mix of UK post-punk-disco which I made back in the 00s www.mixcloud.com/wrongtom/dum...
Dumb Down The Disco
A selection of disco tracks made by post-punks which I chopped up and mixed together in about 2008 for Johnny Reggae's radio show on Juice FM in Brighton.

It's kind of mad that a label as cutting edge as Street Sounds included The Message on their inaugural release alongside Peech Boys and North End when the song had long been and gone from the top 10 and appeared on a number of comps already including K-Tel's Disco Dancer and Telstar's Chart Attack

Just spotted someone sharing this AI image on Twitter to bait the "WE WANT ARE COUNTRY BACK" brigade, but the first thing which crossed my mind is I know a fair few guys who would part with an extraordinary amount of money for a VG+ copy of a Christmas dub album with this cover
