Finished watching the #Boyzone documentary this morning (binged eps 2 & 3 back to back). Wow. Louis Walsh always seemed to be portrayed as "the nice judge" in all those talent shows - he seems actually to be almost sociopathic. The difference in reactions over the Sun front page...

Well, that's quite therapeutic!

This is the recommended way of dealing with "I've lost my phone" scams, isn't it?

Really looking forward to Tori's Tracks Of My Years on @bbcradio2bot.bsky.social this week.

Pt3 of my journey through Tori Amos is Scarlet's Walk. Despite the minimalist packaging (no lyrics, nothing), I think it's my favourite. Amber Waves, A Sorta Fairytale, Taxi Ride & the title track stand out, for me anyway, but it works from the opening of Amber... to the closing notes of Gold Dust.

Album 2 of my @toriamos.bsky.social faves. Back to where it all began and, having said how I hate multipart posts, this might have to be. I was in my final year at Uni when this came out, and I loved it. Instantly. I loved the vocals, I loved the quirkiness, I loved the anger.

@authorfranceswong.bsky.social Found you 😀. Weird here, isn't it?

So, as promised, I've picked my favourite @toriamos.bsky.social albums to share with you. Recorded in Cornwall during lockdown, this instantly sounds familiar and includes the usual mix of quirky and thoughtful. "Spies" is a highlight for me, but it's a great album all through.

Apologies, I've been a wee bit remiss with my Album Of The Week posts recently. Thinking about it, I realised that, over the Xmas break, I'd listened to a lot of @toriamos.bsky.social so I thought I'd pick my favourite 3 albums. Multipart posts drive me mad, so each will get it's own.

If you believe that the Greenland argument is about US "security" you've fallen for the misdirection. It has everything to do with legitimising Putin's claim on Crimea and Ukraine. #TrumpIsAPutinPuppet

It's Album Of The Week time again. From the first base notes of the opening, title, track it was obviously a change of style for the band. It's a much more mature sound but then, you can stay angry, but you can't stay young forever.

I know I ticked the pets option when I setup but, good grief, how many cats on my feed?
Here's a dog to even it up a bit! #Dog #DogsOfBluesky #Gertie

Time for a quick supplemental Album Of The Week. Talk Of This Town was the debut for Catherine McGrath. Coldplay might get a name check on Wild, but it's actually Fearless era Taylor Swift that is the clearest influence - Our Song ripples through the title track. Still great though. #music

It's not December yet, so it's too early to be putting the decorations up. But getting them down from the loft and testing them - that's ok, right? #xmaslights

Just SO many cats on my feed. Here's a dog instead

So, #Threads or #Bluesky ? Does anybody have enough time to run accounts on both? I'm going to see if using #Openvibe to post on both works.

'Evening all. Not sure what this account is going to look like yet. Currently have 1 Insta a/c for pics of the dog & family, 1 for my hobbies (sim racing etc) and a Threads a/c for jokes and politics (replacing my Twitter a/c). So, should I go with one main theme, or a combination?
