List of my YouTube habits this year 1 is Dr Who, 2 Classic British Cars 3 Watched a Lot of Taskmaster 4 Discovered live music performances 5 Followed Comedy show insights (see 3!!)

I wasn't going to share any app 2025 recap but YouTube made me chuckle 'Watched a lot of Taskmaster' story of my life YouTube- story of my life!!!

I've got a list of buckets I need to buy but can't think what to call it.

Agreed - it's a great collection.

It's beautiful, magical and captivating with It's own unique charm. Much like our much missed Judy.

As it's nearly the end of Roy Wood Thursday- here's a late period Move classic (Yes, I know it was written by Jeff Lynne - but come on - that vocal performance etc) bonus points if you can guess which musician in this videos nephew was in the Wonder Stuff??

Pay per skew only!!!

I've got kebab skewers, screwdrivers, toothbrushes, rusty nails & blunt knives. Reckon all'll be good.

Well, after I've heard it, I'll have probably punctured my ears with knitting needles so best do it now....

Buy this album....

Jizzy Gillespie is back

Just wish Cherry Red would finish off their Idle Race remastering job - they did a great job with Birthday Party (& kept Jimmy Saville in the artwork!) but we never got expanded versions of Idle Race & Time Was (I know the double disc Parlophone set is still out there, but it's not quite the same)

Fun fact, now Esoteric have released all the Move albums, it's the first time time they've all been on the same record label. Now they did Main St, Mustard, Eddy & the Falcons - hopefully Wizzard Brew, Boulders, Super Active Wizzard, On the Road Again & Starting Up will get the Esoteric treatment.

@ozymandias999.bsky.social think this is Spencers latest handle- thanks to @realgonerocks.bsky.social for alerting me to the quick follow...

YouTube video by Roy Wood - Topic The Rain Came Down On Everything

As it's now officially* Roy Wood Thursday - like Jeff Lynne who had a penchant for songs with Blue in the title, Roy used Rain as a metaphor & a part of many of his songs.
Here's another classic from his fantastic Mustard album.

*I may have made 'official Roy Wood Thursday up!'

Cherry Red Reissue Round-Up » We Are Cult ❉ We review special editions from the world of '70s British folk and prog, by Dave Cousins, The Strawbs and Renaissance's Annie Haslam.

I knew about Roy & Annie, she was on Super Active Wizzo & Mustard - didn't know Northern Lights was written about him. He was all over Annie in Wonderland (which I spoke about here...)

YouTube video by Roy Wood - Topic Way Beyond the Rain

Here's another absolute belter of a late period Roy Wood song from probably his most underated (some would say lost)solo album.

Mind bleach isn't even enough.

Are we talking Martian Man by the incomparable Lyndsey De Paul? (had to wrack the old brain for a minute....)

YouTube video by The Move - Topic Feel Too Good (2008 Remaster)

Here's one of my (many) favourite Roy songs!

As Roy Wood is getting (& quite rightly so) a lot of love today - here's my book looking at his recorded output.
Sadly the print run has sold out - however you can get an e-book version from here.

It's an astonishing sound & if he'd been on a different label it might have worked, but EMI signed Roy for hit singles & Don Arden wanted his pound of flesh.

I would have chucked in Feel Too Good or It wasn't my idea to Dance. But other than that a cracking choice & great to see some love for Wizzard Brew - which is astonishing in it's breadth of vision.

More than just Christmas everyday: Wizzard frontman Roy Wood’s 20 best songs – ranked! He’ll be forever known for his festive hit, but Wood was virtually the face of 70s glam rock – writing and performing stomping hits with the Move, ELO and Wizzard

This is a cracking list of Roys finest. I could probably swap one or two from across his impressive back catalogue - however that would be quite picky considering this covers the big hits & hidden gems.

I wish I could have unread them & bleached my mind clean.

Seven years today since I got a personal favourite letter published in the Metro.

The super-rich rightwing are pouring money into Reform. Do ordinary voters really think their aim is to even out social inequality and make their lives better? Do they think they’re doing it so Farage invests in infrastructure and public services? Ffs. Democracy being beaten to death in plain sight.
