Chelsea vs Everton, today - two clubs whose fans were entertained by the skills of Pat Nevin. The Scottish forward called in for a chat with us in St Luke’s a couple of years ago.

#Hammer does #AgathaChristie (a.i.)

Rewatched Peril at End House again earlier. ITV's #Poirot Would definitely be my #ComfortBlanket choice @gralefrit.bsky.social !

It's new @gbvlyrics.bsky.social album day!

...by having no Impact at all

Funsponges

Actually romantic (I think is the title from my brief excursion with the album - my daughter is a fan)

Phantasmagoric Upstarts

In all the fuss about a new #TaylorSwift album id just like to point out that @gbvlyrics.bsky.social #gbv #GuidedByVoices have a new single our. Just saying like...

One of the tracks also sounds like Where is My Mind? By #Pixies

Current reading..been on a real #Dylan kick at the moment and just finished Vol.1 of Chronicles. Richard Thomas' Why Dylan Matters follows it up nicely..often one book leads to another and I'm more and more fascinated by Dylan's appropriation of Greek myth so I'm cracking on with The Odyssey

Werner Herzog, Claudia Cardinale and Klaus Kinski on location for Fitzcarraldo.

RIP Claudia Cardinale

Hard to believe it happened! 70 unforgettable (and unforgivable) shows from 70 years of ITV From TV so controversial the Foreign Office tried to ban it … to Emmerdale Farm. As the broadcaster hits 70, we look back on the highlights – and lowlights

@theguardian.com

What? Why is The Prisoner omitted from this list?

Giving The Blue Hour another play. I think it's by far my favourite of the #Suede mark 2 albums. Wastelands is a great track (the best one that never went on ANM).

Heyyy just checking back to see, now the dust has settled, if opinions have shifted. Sorry to say that I think it's fine but it hasn't really drawn me back in the way id hoped it would

Oh no! That's a shame

No. I don't think it will..

#guidedbyvoices #thickrichanddelicious #newalbum are we going to get any uk @gbvlyrics.bsky.social gigs this time? Come on Uncle Bob!

Sounds like early REM

God it's really really poor!

(You Can't Go Back To) Oxford Talawanda

New #GBV #GuidedByVoices and it's a fucking banger @gbvlyrics.bsky.social

On the back of our chat earlier I registered to ANM. I still don't think it's awful but it's incredibly slight isn't?

Sounds good!! Let's do it!

Yeah I mean it's not bad but again that talk sing thing the wire does on the opening track and the fact that decline and fall sounds like the theme tune to this morning took me out of it a bit. I loved the previous album though

Oh you mean between an atom is bottom half? Fair enough

Yeah that talky singy thing grates

Yee, to be fair I'm enjoying it as a whole more on the second listen
