Nicely timed for the latest Right Back At Ya! The 2000s Pop Music Podcast episode...

Listening to Tiggy Walker's book. And a delightful foreword.

Yes!! Was only a matter of time, mind.

The right decision. Maybe ten years too late, but unfortunately, "radio" has come across as an entrenched closed-shop culture, quite frankly.

Didn't think I could love Seven even more. ;)

A well spent hour with Tiggy Walker and Phil Riley on BoomRadioUK's "Choices". Having listened to the audiobook (which is also delightful!), the show delivers on giving something extra that's not already in there. boomradiouk.com/player/on-dema…

There were some mint tunes in 1998. What a pity #totp wasn't so good at reflecting them...

This provided some chortles...

Enjoyed listening to this. Dissecting why RAJAR, and elements of music radio as a whole, are utter nonsense.

Farridge summed up succintly.

The real "thirty years of hurt"...

A very nice surprise. Miranda Sawyer with a 90s podcast, interviewing Mark Radcliffe about Radio 1 in that decade. youtu.be/3gCFbh5z-Ao

My latest earworm. Ironically "Rubber Biscuit" never made it to number one, unlike the Hollies song that got used in a later ad for the same drink... youtube.com/watch?v=RMCUdC…

Hmm. I never really thought about it like this before. At least in 1989, we had a Doctor, and in 1996, but now… #DoctorWho

RIH, Watkins.

Love this LP. Possible shades of Japan's "Tin Drum" LP in there too.

A special live cantstopthepop pod on the Ginger Spice cover of "It's Raining Men". And so glad it wasn't just me who thought it was a comedown from "Bag It Up"... cantstopthepop.libsyn.com/its-raining-me…

Peter Davison in Riot Women. That's a rather nice surprise. (Or an unwelcome spoiler for others...)

Would I swap a gateau for a lump of dogshit?

Almost reminiscent of an old Stewart Lee gag; "Like getting barred from a pub that's already on fire".
