I always thought the DK's were being a little alarmist with this (brilliant) song - now, nah,They were right.

Top Artists on Spotify Wrapped - Bob Dylan, Paul Kelly, Allo Darlin', Townes van Zandt, Floodlights Top songs - We come from the same place, When the roses bloom again, Romeo Had Juliet, Fake that emotion, History Lessons

I don't know why I'm surprised by this outcome. Townes van Zandt and Allo Darlin are 2025's big musical revelations.

After this was published my dad messaged me to say "What the hell was that cartoon all about" and maybe he is right... www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

London woman ‘shocked’ by £150 fine for pouring coffee down street drain Burcu Yesilyurt handed fixed-penalty notice by enforcement officers near Richmond station

Could Richmond Council maybe send these Enforcement Officers around to Thames Water and the other serial polluters to hand out more fines?

Grand Theft Accounting I am shocked—shocked, I tell you—to discover in this year’s corporate tax report that Optus paid no tax on $8.2 billion of income.

Brilliant piece by @birmo.bsky.social on corporations not paying tax and how the people in charge want you to blame baristas, foreigners and single mums for the fact your hospitals are busted.

He's talking about Australia, but it's true for everyone, everywhere.

Keeping Up Appearances actor Patricia Routledge dies aged 96 The actor was best known for her role as the pretentious housewife Hyacinth Bucket, and for the series Hetty Wainthropp Investigates

Very sad news. Keeping Up Appearances was an old-fashioned British sitcom about manners, class and eccentricity.

Totally unhinged, and brilliant. It's like a message on the family WhatsApp from your uncle, complaining about seating arrangements at your cousin's wedding.

Vale, Ricky Hatton. A fantastic boxer.

Man, they are playing so well.

That's good timing - I just finished S1 of PM last night - it's one of the few opening sequences I never skipped! Looking forward to S2! Thanks for posting!

Very late to your thread. But thanks very much! Fascinating!

One of my Irish mates texted me to say O'Connor would be kicking himself...but probably miss.

Tom Wills - Wikipedia

It's an incredible story.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Wills

HBD to Tom Wills (1835) - a great cricketer who took an indigineous team to the UK in the 1860's. He was one of Australia's first sporting heroes and a founder of AFL. A true character.

Here's Mick Thomas and Wally singing a tribute to his life.

I saw them twice. Second time was a Dylan tribute night in Sydney. They played a cracking version of one of my favourite Dylan songs - New Pony.

Starting with The Titanics! Project of former Custard singer Dave McCormack (these days he’s involved with a blue dog).

Exciting news. For the first time in 5 years I now own a CD player again. Which means I can listen to my music which is not to be found on spoty place!

Some top quality journalisting right there.

Geez that’s crook. Well done you for outing him. I get sad about your brother every time I hear a Messengers/Coloured Girls song - which is most days.

Wallabies did not deserve to lose that.

Great to see the Wallabies competing strong here.

A great episode and great to see a few 70's faces making their podcast debut. I think I like that second album more than the first one!

Marvellous - I used to catch one of those Red Rattlers to and from school every day

Loved the stories in BP.

From Alexi Sayle's novel "Weeping Women Hotel" - a character cannot mention soup without saying "Soup swoop, loop de loop". I read that 20 yrs ago, and have been saying it ever since.

Which leads us to Aussie legends Pist Idiots - certainly a cut above WL

That's unfortunate. Really loved that show.

The gulf between 70’s and 80’s Billy Joel yawns, threatening.
