Haha no way - new work team / boss (good folk!) asked me what my Top 5 Tracks (ever!) were, and Les Fleurs was a late swap in for Madonna's Cherish (decided specifying "6min version please" was too wanky a start to our working relationship) :

Nope can't remember that (well I barely looked at Q until 1995 so that doesn't help!), but yes that sounds good, assuming it wasn't too Ironic Review 😊

Thirded! The (non related) Green Room is also fantastic, in fact just as good imo

Stephen Dalt0n's (not on BSky?) typically thoughtful MBV review inspired my irrelevant musings - positive if marginally underwhelmed vs expectation - based on a single gig almost as long ago now as Isn't Anything was at the time.
Plus gratuitous ironic dragging of the fab @davidstubbs.bsky.social !

I was thinking "I bet I've seen heaps of his stuff!" so I checked wiki - not really, just 6 LVTrier films (didn't bother w Manderlay) and Ace Ventura : Pet Detective 😆
I did have to pause the scrolling and reorient myself when I, er, came across Spermula though :

Some thoughts on the sad demise of the bassist at the greatest gig I've ever been to (Primals, Glasgow, Gig On The Green 26/08/00, XTRMNTR set plus hits).

Absolutely ridiculous - check out what I was listening to (yep, the first track with that same dialogue) exactly 5 mins ago when you posted that! I'd say the chances of both of those happ'ning at once are a million to one...

FB is a clickbait binfire but adding BSky non-IRL pals as Friends massively improves it. Current hobby : waiting for @davidstubbs.bsky.social to post totally justified demolitions of Dicky Hervaid, then going to town on the unfunny racist ableist sexist homophobe (RG not DS!) in the comments. Fun 😁
![REBECCA [don't know her, my opinion on this differs from hers but I'm sure she's lovely irl] : I enjoyed it. He's a terrible person, but he has made some really good work
ME : My view - he's a terrible person, but he has collaborated with some moderately talented people (Stephen Merchant) and ripped off some fantastic ideas (People Like Us, "The Office" sketch on The Day Today). Divorced from those influences he rapidly reverts to his default mode of punching down against gays, blacks, Asians, the disabled, those poorer than himself (i.e. 99% of the global population), women and anyone who might even slightly threaten his gossamer-thin ego.

They covered that just afterwards, quite elegantly I thought :

"Because men, Ian. It's always going to end up dressed like a French maid."

HIGNFY shared a YT clip on Friday's edition and it's easily the most that show has made me laugh in decades - I was roaring and covered in tears on the third rewatch 🤣

I was definitely more excited about the Bs than the As this time around, but I still managed to find 10 cast-iron bangers in the FG to vote for enthusiastically, and that's all you need really, isn't it?
Sister Nancy and historically underrepresented reggae/dub for the win! ✊️

And here was me thinking "bah, all my favourite B-sides are out, game's a bogey" - once I actually sat down and listened I had a shortlist of 15 cracking tracks, which speaks to the high quality of the Bs this time round (same as always tbh!).
Segun Adewale for the (possibly unlikely?) win 😉

The br0wnface thing in 2015, the Friends thing in 2021 - fair play to him for expressing contrition but also I'm pencilling in 2027 for "I apologise for saying that Short Circuit was a really good movie"

Wasn't familiar with br0wn face as a concept as a 6/8 year old, so when I spotted him in Friends s1e13 it was a little confusing. "Huh. He's... different here somehow?!"
