I went to see the new Wuthering Heights film yesterday, which was...interesting...and today's track is one from the Spotify soundtrack:

Yes I noticed that the club don't share their updates on here. I agree that would make a difference. #bcafc

I need to leave the other place because it's a horrendous racist, homophobic cesspit. Is there a decent #bcafc following on here? (that's all I really use the other place for)

On Thursday, I went to the launch gig for the new Cast album. As you would expect, it was mostly new material but they did have a request for some older songs, including today's #MusicMonday choice.

Today's #MusicMonday is a track that appeared on my Spotify Discover Weekly playlist last week and I'd never heard it before, despite it being released in the 1980s. I really liked it, so I hope you do too.

In the last few weeks, I enjoyed watching Trespasses on Channel 4. It has a brilliant soundtrack so I've chosen a track from it today (and I'll probably come back to it in future.)

I struggled to choose a track for #MusicMonday this week, but over the last few months I've enjoyed listening to The Last Dinner Party. As a crime reader, I've been particularly drawn to this track.

I've been enjoying the new series of Emily In Paris this week so today's #MusicMonday is a song that was covered in the soundtrack that is a throwback to my teenage years, even though it wasn't very cool.
