Lover of popular music but always wanting to find out more. That golden period between 1978 and 1985 is where my heart lies but always willing to try something else.

I'm thinking of doing a Monkees Almanac in 2026. Documenting anniversaries of all things Monkee. Something to do and an opportunity for me to learn more about one of my favourite bands, certainly the band I've loved for the longest time. Stuff like this from Christmas 1968

If I was in charge of a tournament where the winner gets a million pounds, I'd probably go out of my way to make sure there wasn't a fucking wasp bothering the players all the fucking time. #darts

Go back 22 days for a brilliant insight into a remarkable young man re-imagining darts and how we view it. #TheDarts
gian van veen is third favourite for the world darts championships, and also a fascinating guy: brilliant and brittle, open about his struggles, a thinking man in a fiercely anti-intellectual sport. we talked about doubt, and dartitis, and aviation engineering

#70sTop30 a chronological, Proustian journey through the decade with songs that I remember most fondly
Day 3 - 1970
Lee Marvin - I Was Born Under A Wandering Star
I have such vivid memories of this song. Definitely Top Of The Pops and maybe the radio my mum always had on

That’s probably it for Wilfried Nancy and maybe rightly so. But Celtic weren’t bad today, showed signs of getting used to the manager’s approach, and ultimately shot themselves in the foot via some appalling defending from Auston Trusty and Kasper Schmeichel. Big Willy can’t do much about that.

It was good to see Tangled by Nick Heyward re-released just before Christmas and on vinyl for the first time (?).
I still maintain The World was the best single of 1995 (and beyond).

I've supported Luke Littler ever since he crashed on to the scene. I've seen him throw a 9 darter live in the most feral sporting atmosphere I've experienced. Tonight though I'll be supporting Gian Van Veen because if he can win it confirms two young super stars which is far more exciting than one.
the world youth final of 2023 is the world final of 2026. but in reality luke littler v gian van veen could scarcely be more different: a clash of styles, temperaments, personalities, even culture, and potentially a final for the ages. www.theguardian.com/sport/2026/j...
