We had a German teacher called Mrs Cunningham at our comprehensive school. She was a massive Paul McCartney fan and for one lesson we had to translate No More Lonely Nights. It seems like the lamest thing ever at the time. But I just pulled out the 7 ", played it and welled up because it's a TUNE.

Almost half a century after dancing along to Swords of 1000 Men at the youth club, I finally got my copy signed by the eccentric and marvellous Ed Tenpole Tudor.

Wonderful book - Opening the Gates of Hell by Mark Hodkinson.

Playing a selection of Soft Cell records tonight as a little tribute - I remember liking this at the time but it became more personal once I was a student at Poly. There actually were clothes and records on the floor now I wasn't living at home. And looking outside my window view was fairly grim.

Can anyone playing Fantasy League help me out here? Bruno Fernandes got 2 points yesterday for playing and 1 subtracted for a yellow card. How did he end up with minus 1 overall - what am I missing?

A wonderful episode of @syntheticdreamspod.bsky.social with Jonathan from Mercury Rev(from August 2024). The Rev are one of my all-time favourite bands and this episode goes some way to help understand the dreamy magic that runs through all their music.

Been enjoying these recent purchases very much. The music of this era (early 80s), even when it's new to me is just in tune with my psyche somehow. Particularly taken with The Sound, a band I've been aware of for years but never started to investigate until now.
