A thritysomething local government elf, basketball table official, purveyor of radio (goldrushmwr.bsky.social etc.) and Green-voting SocDem type. All that while being one of those autistic types your Mam warned you about..
One for the Gastronauts there. #sts70s

This hurts, a musical pioneer who is a major loss to the world of synthpop and beyond.

Been semi-lurking, evening all. May still be in a food coma from a king sized Toby earlier.. #mwxs

Ah, this theme tune deserves a point for being so brilliant! #sts70s

Solo Debbie? Cracking! (Not an 80s photo, so ner). #Forgotten80s

Atomic you say? Huzzah, a chance to use a relevant GIF from when NTNOCN used it.. #mwxs

Fittingly enough, one of the few singles I bought during primarily an LP haul at the record shop was a song I discovered via one of these specials. A good one at that! #Forgotten80s

You *know* it makes sense. #sts70s

Bar scarf, check. Pound for the ground ticket, obvious price. Admission - £15. Co-owning the club you support, priceless. Some things money can't buy, @fcunitedmcr.bsky.social is rightly one of them.

Looking through my record haul from that there St Retford yesterday, and among many good purchases in me £20 budget, #Forgotten80s folks I'm sure would approve of this from the 3 for a tenner racks.

@sbuma.bsky.social will certainly approve of one of my record purchases today 😏

To think Dundas made £1,000 A WEEK from mere seconds of music the following decade. #sts70s

What's your sign?

Time flies by quickly! Tonight's show, counting down from this week's Hot 100 from 1976, is also the show's 4th birthday as of yesterday. #SpinninginAmerica is live from 8pm on Radio Alty.

Presented without comment.

I'm back on the Radio Alty airwaves again from 8pm, live with a countdown of this week's Hot 100 from 1962, meaning 40 or so tracks, instrumentals galore and a dance craze or two. Tune in here: tinyurl.com/RadioAlty

Well, that's me and @goldrushmwr.bsky.social verified, so you can continue the DMs and general insults*. A necessary evil for a law that was well intentioned and ill-executed (and started by the Tories so you know where to draw the ire to).

Meantime, have a picture of Hodkin hound Dumble.

Hark, time to summon the king of Gastronauts! #sts70s

The face I’m submitting to Bluesky for verification.

Evening all, what a belter to kick things off! #GRMWR

As used in a humorous end sketch on NTNOCN, ahem. #TVLMWR

I'm live on the Radio Alty airwaves from 8pm with this week's Spinning in America, counting down from this week's Billboard Hot 100 in 1988. Teen stars, sophistipop, Stock Aitken and Waterman and much more! Tune in here: www.tinyurl.com/RadioAlty
