There are only so many vaporwave albums in need of covers

Reading this list in order greatly amused me when I hit #10.

You know you're 100% getting Wizard Whitebeard out of this one

I have heard and enjoyed it a large number of times but because I am A Bit Dim it's taken me noticing that Yazz has a badge with a rainbow pattern on it to realise what "Stand Up For Your Love Rights" is, presumably very obviously, getting at #TOTP

It's Britney! Oh wait #TOTP

Am I playing Parappa the Rapper? #TOTP

"Crush" by Jennifer Paige feels like it _should_ be a 10cc-style "it's not like I like you or anything baka!", but I think she genuinely actually doesn't really like him #TOTP

Alisha's Attic, like Martika's Kitchen, is presumably located within Susan's House #TOTP

Famously* something similar is the reason "Rockstar" got to #1.

I had just finished watching "The Anniversary" (thanks to @dirtyfeed.org making me think I ought to watch all of Fawlty Towers at some point) when someone messaged me with the news that Prunella Scales had died, which seemed oddly apt as an episode choice.

Spoiled votes the story of the day

However, what many people, from politicians, to advisers, to canvassers and supporters, have told me today is that the big story of this election is the number of spoiled votes.

No, fair play to them, they've gone beyond my expectations here.

The party leadership will be relieved with Powell's underwhelming margin of victory, it shows there isn't an out and out rejection of how Labour is being run, writes our political correspondent

It's a week of second-place finishers being touted as the real winners by a sympathetic BBC News, so I expect the day to end with the news that Heather Humphreys has won "the moral Presidency"

If "One Lifetime Of Drums" was the official song of the whole Olympics, why were they only showing American athletes, and if it was the Team USA anthem why did we have to put up with it over here? #TOTP

Can't hear "What Can I Do" without thinking of the Milton Jones joke (to a revolutionary before the firing squad: "Any last requests?" "I think only of the cause!" "Very well...") #TOTP

I also enjoy listening to sound, Alda and I have so much in common #TOTP

Partner: "I think when you're clean-shaven, you look like Ronan Keating, and when you have a beard, you look like Kurt Cobain." #TOTP

In that final shot of Sash smiling at the camera he somehow looked like the most German person to ever exist #TOTP

I could kind of see "To the Moon and Back" as a Duran Duran single #TOTP

An edited comic strip by Sarah Andersen. Title: How UNESCO designates World Heritage Sites Nigeria: Just the basics {Sarah buys food carefully} Egypt: An occasional splurge, but mostly necessities {Sarah considers clothing on a rack} Germany: {Sarah, wearing sunglasses, furs, and a gold chain, approaches a counter} {Sarah throws lots of money into the air, the notes all marked with the World Heritage symbol}

Three Spider-Men all pointing at each other, marked "Frontiers of the Roman Empire", "Frontiers of the Roman Empire - The Lower German Limes", and "Frontiers of the Roman Empire - The Danube Limes (Western segment)"

Stop Using Anti-World Heritage Site Language Instead of: unremarkable European cityscape Say: Historic Centre Instead of: unremarkable European countryside Say: Cultural Landscape Instead of: everything of interest no longer there Say: Archaeological Site Instead of: rebuilt inaccurately Say: reconstructed by anastylosis

{A concerned-looking parent looking at a mobile phone} Is your child texting about Italian World Heritage Sites? LOL = Lots Of Longobards WTF = Water's Threatening Florence! BRB = Best Ravennate Basilica? NSFW = Naples, Siena, Ferrara: Wow! IMO = Ivrea's Modernism's Outstanding PMSL = Pisa's Mid, Sorry Leonardo

Sad to announce that I have not had a callback for the position of UNESCO's Director of Social Media.

A very entertaining story. I particularly like the bit where Ball says he's facilitating large-scale tax avoidance to get back at the government for their earlier treatment of him (when they went after him for large-scale tax avoidance)

Weird to think that, to a crab, "full frontal" is seductively teasing and "sideboob" is explicit.

Weird to think that, to a crab, "giving someone side-eye" is just staring at them.

I was listening to Crab Radio 4 and they said "coming up next, a sideways look at the news..." and then it was just the news.

Now they've pointed it out I can definitely hear that "No Matter What" was written by the Lloyd-Webber preset function on an old Casio keyboard #TOTP

I don't necessarily blame Will for recording this ("Just the Two of Us") but I do have to blame whoever bought it #TOTP

This must be a Max Martin number right? It sounds so Britney (well, four Britneys) #TOTP
