"Teenage Wasteland" is maybe the best two-word phrase in rock history and frickin Pete Townshend had to name the song "Baba O'Riley"

Finally able to spend some time with this record. Great songwriting and playing, lots of room for the songs to breathe.

Today I watched “Tweedledum” the episode of Colditz with Michael Bryant and Bernard Kay for the first time. One of the best episodes of anything I’ve ever seen.
Must be a @tobyhadoke.bsky.social favourite!

I always find it interesting how the story changes when a lawyer gets to court. They can say anything they want outside of court without accountability but the rules are vastly different in court where you can get seriously penalized for lying.

Aye aye. Edge of Darkness starting a rerun on BBC4 on 1st November. One of those dramas that just leave you rubbing your eyes in astonishment as it just gets better and better with every minute that passes. If you've never seen it before, god but you're in for a treat. Ian McNeice intro, too.

Top night celebrating 10 years of @av8records.bsky.social with Pete Wilko, Marvin Powell, Michael Robert Murphy and Sunstack Jones (plus Mick Head cameo). You could have made a supergroup out of the legends in the crowd.
