Get them with a false sense of security. We'll be back to somewhere in the middle in no time!

Definitely the wrong priorities on his part. I do miss the odd celeb followers we accumulated at the old place. By the time BlueSky launched I think they were all too wise to the fact :-p

Now there's a bold statement. It may be correct though ;-)

Ghostbusters was the first 7" single I had! I have a few more now... So, 1984

Seven inch wonders!

That's getting an ooh just because

Vivaldi's 'Winter' is playing and I'm triggered into panic-buying a sofa as the sale MUST END soon.

I went to see this exhibition a couple of weeks ago and spent quite a while looking at that well! The rest was great, too :-)

It could have been worse. The stop used to be outside Channel 5 Videos, which is possibly the most 80s name of a shop ever.

Not saying it's been a long time since I took this bus but I nearly asked for a half fare...

Cracking piece of BBC archive here. The Forty Minutes strand was usually good; this one I found particularly fascinating as it's filmed around Newcastle. I was about 4 when most of this happened and it's astonishing what has and also what hasn't changed. youtu.be/VwNWUNykqAs?...

So Beat Dis is always a little earlier than I think, Voice of the Beehive is later... I'll go 88 down the middle

Oof! (Also annoyingly these only just came through!)

Late 80s rather than 90s. Will have a proper think as I listen!

I do like it when the train says "The next stop will be... Ely! Exit for... Ely Cathedral!" Feels like a lesson learned, perhaps from Leeds and castles.

Wikipedia says the film "Chariots Of Fire" has a running time of 124 minutes. They must have been exhausted by the end of that.

I feel like it's a particularly strong Decade Dip this week, hence this last minute invitation to join me! camfm.co.uk/player (or you can still find it after the fact, technology is good like that).

I thought so!.:)

93! Didn't want to say immediately in a comment but now we're downthread it should be OK. And you get a hmmm for the 9s.

I've got this in the bag - All That She Was Wants is one I know. (Though still then doubted myself and wavered for a while.) That Lenny Kravitz is always a year or so later than I first think.

I am finally after many years starting to use Discogs properly. Let's connect! Add me samholloway or let me know your user name. (This post feels like a weird hybrid of Discogs, BlueSky and LinkedIn.)

Hello! I really should post more often, especially to remind you that The Sam Holloway Show is live from 7-8pm BST at camfm.co.uk/player. Don't worry, you don't need to be age-verified or anything!

I thought you'd be OK with that one ;-)

I wonder if it's the Electronic song I nearly played instead - will have a listen!

I am on! (Early start tomorrow though. Also I need to resume show publicity one of these days.) I am away next week though, well, we all are aren't we?

I did enjoy your thread on it :) Tim saw it a few days ago and had similar views.

We made up for the on time start by losing connection with the outside world for a little while...

Nothing beats trying to beat a Jet2 holiday

I still have a spare seat for Sparks at the Hammersmith Apollo tonight - shout if you'd like to come with me!

Brian Wilson and Sly Stone in the same week, wow. That's an incredible chunk of influence for music of the last sixty years, and undoubtedly, the next sixty to come. RIP

Today's realisation: in Darryl Hall & John Oates's "Out of Touch", the backing vocals sing "Time" but not "Touch". Hall & Oates of course the Adobe Photoshop of giving your full name.

I have a spare ticket to see Sparks in London, Wed Jun 18th - would rather take someone with me than sell to a stranger so let me know if you're interested!
