These two look absolutely knackered. Another sport squeezing the pips out of the best players #TheDarts

This month I'll be sharing my favorites, in no order of preference, from Adam Ant - both with Adam & The Ants and his solo works.

Day 8. Antmusic (1980) 🐜🎶

A huge hit from their classic 'Kings Of The Wild Frontier' album.

#Random80sSongOfTheNight

Made me laugh 😂

Ok. I'm going to say something I've thought for some time. All I think about when I see this stuff is those trans boys and girls who just want a quiet life to be who they are. Not like some child crying please stop while stuck in a house where their parents won't stop fighting.

Gerwyn Price is a knob. #TheDarts #Childishbutcorrect

Interesting fact: they’d rerecord the B-side a few months later and it would become their biggest hit.

No worries. The one I listened to before listening to McCartney for the first time felt very Linda friendly if I remember correctly. I'm going to listen again 🙏🏼

This record has always confused me greatly. I love it but I hate it too.

@stevenc63.bsky.social is there a Linda specific Nothing Is Real? Man On The Run seems to have sparked some Linda love for lovely Linda x

We had the radio on all the time. At home or in the car. Radio 1 or 2. I had older siblings too which meant these songs are so seared into my brain. It's a brilliant song along song 😍

We just heard these songs so much. Probably three or four times a day for weeks on end

Album covers for Venus And Mars, Wings At The Speed Of Sound and London Town, all by Wings, lay on top of record player

Sunday vibes...

I confess whenever I hear Paul and Linda together on record I can't help but feel slightly emotional. I suspect I always will x

#NowPlaying

I'm not the biggest fan of McCartney's music and I've really tried. I'm 100% with you on his relationship with Linda.

Well that was lovely. Watching The Shadows performing from 2004. Such special musicians with a back catalogue as nostalgic as a Ladybird book drawing. Hank sang this. He wrote it so why not. The Shadows are such a huge part of pop music history. Hank at the centre of it all

Only Women Bleed by Julie Covington

Later this week, I’m publishing a long Inventory piece about Julie Covington, the wellspring of which was this remarkable single. It seems fitting to flag it up on International Women’s Day. #IWD2026.

IN THE COUNTRY!! Ooh. Hank's singing 👍🏼

Now they're doing a medley of Cliff and The Shadows hits with Bruce on vocals 😳

The Shadows

Man Of Mystery

Hands up if your parents had a copy of 20 Golden Greats. A genuinely iconic cover.

Revisiting these as I watch The Shadows on Sky Arts. How cool is this?

Marvin Welch and Farrar playing on a Audio-Technica turntable.

#NowPlaying #MusicSky #DayOff Both Marvin, Welch and Farrar albums are absolutely essential. If you like Byrds, Fleetwood Mac, Beach Boys, CS&N and occasionally a bit psych. Loads around but not many decent copies in my experience. #CheapHeat

I don't but I will investigate. Thanks 🙏🏼

THE SHADOWS ARE ON SKY ARTS!! 🎸 🎸 🎸

This thread shows off Mike Nesmith's ability as a songwriter. It also shows some brilliant women who took Mike's great song and made it even better. Linda Ronstadt providing the definitive version. Also includes Pete Burns doing the opposite 😆.

What is fascinating with the entire Flashman series is how the author manages something of great historical accuracy while also by the end of the series writing blindingly angry attacks on Blairism, enabling the books to be read on multiple levels
