1984: The Year Pop Went Queer out now
Pinned
BF: “I’ve got a teams meeting at 10 and another call at 11.30. What’s your plans for today?”

Me: “I’ve got a book out”
I got blocked by Ant & Dec after I inferred that ITV bought him out of a drunk driving charge that nearly killed someone because ratings. Having had my best mate killed by a drunk driver, I had every right to find it fucking ugly.

There’s a lot of drama in Ian’s latest curated best of the last couple of month’s new singles. And he’s reached the grand total of 50! Always worth a listen. Here’s the Apple Music version for those who might want a gander… Yay!

No wonder you’re looking thin, when all that you live on is lipgloss and cigarettes.

Rhythm Nation is a magnificent album but sounds like it was recorded by mice because they pressed three hours of music onto one piece of vinyl

I'm in the process of trying to get my head around the Italo 89 takeover.

UB40 in happier times. But not during the 'when they were good times'. In fact they were about to embark on their second decade of awful.

I don't understand how Ace Of Base escaped a war crime trial for what they did to Cruel Summer. This lack of punishment obviously lead us to where we are today with the world.

B*Witched's choreographer clearly hated them. Plus denim is thoroughly unsuitable for such energetic doings.

Sara Cox raising over £7.5 million is fucking amazing. I bloody love Sara. It also trumps Vernon's total especially as he was a bit sniffy about Sara being a girl and unlikely to beat what he raised (£4 million).

We wrongly thought that it would quieten down this week as WAFRs are sparse now for a bit. But then it went fucking mental. A full time job. Might have to start a ‘buy us a Kofi Annan’ or whatever it is.

That Jimmy Carr coming out in support of Glinner clip is only to be expected. However he comes across as so fucking desperately “ooh I went there” that it’s funnier watching him beg and plead to be seen as an edgelord rather a plastic foreheaded tax-dodging cunt. I’ve had funnier cystitis.
