Gareth Jones Dandelion Radio

Yeaaaah, this is true! He got the hump because l took the p*ss out of his version of Bowie's Fame which l played on a podcast. I mean l assumed it was intentionally bad, but Roland must've thought he is a serious artist!

Some might say the Summer of #Oasis hysteria starts today! So stand by me to hear my July @dandelionradio.bsky.social show.

It's a wonder wall of sound with loads of supersonic Oasis cover versions in the 1st hour including @simonloverules.bsky.social

Facebook and Instagram users complain of account bans After Meta said some Facebook Groups were wrongly suspended, users tell the BBC the impact it is having - and say it's a wider problem.

I was suspended on Facebook 2nd June with no explanation, just an accusation that I might not have followed community standards. It's now been 31 days. I appealed my case, uploaded a photo of myself as identification, and emailed them x3 times last month. No response.

I have taken this story on board. I'm now desperately trying to invade the CD pressing plants for Ed Sheeran and Coldplay in the hope that I can make all future copies of their CDs unplayable too.

And Stephen from Lightheaded will be taking part in my regular feature 'Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue' on my upcoming July @dandelionradio.bsky.social show!

As Alex Warren's 'Ordinary' has been the UK number one single for 12 weeks, l thought it was about time l finally listened to it.

Verdict? Well, the song title is certainly accurate.

Just to let you know, I've been suspended from Facebook since 2nd June. I've heard it can sometimes last up to 30 days!

No idea what I've done wrong, they still haven't told me. Maybe it's the photos of my loud shirts or my bad dad jokes! Anyway, just letting the world know I'm still alive! :)

Havin' A Good Time, by The Clinger Sisters 29 track album

The Clinger Sisters get a bit more rock 'n' roll later in their material, but I played two of their earliest recordings. If you want a physical copy, it will be available in some UK record shops too. sundazedmusic.bandcamp.com/album/havin-...

I'm sure they'll play again. I was away when they played Bristol, so l missed them myself!!

Seasonal Shift, by click.click 10 track album

Thanks! Probably not super easy to search for. It's click.click!! clickclicktokyo.bandcamp.com/album/season...
