I keep meaning to remind you that HELLISH, the podcast with the best hook in the game - what are the 5 songs you'll meet in hell? - is on an absolute winning streak, as always. The guests are great (RJ no exception) and I've discovered so many new writers and artists and cool stuff from listening.

Bestselling author @rjbarker.bsky.social magics up the 5 tracks he will meet in Hell! We listen to the greatest earworm in the history of the podcast; a thing nerds like is simultaneously celebrated and given a kicking; AND Daniel issues a challenge to the pop star YUNGBLUD. podfollow.com/hellish

This is obviously some sort of scam, but to what end? Anyone know?

The UK's Eurovision entry next year should be a song in either Welsh or Scottish Gaelic. It'd be something new and interesting, and even if it performs like shit we're already used to that anyway. Nothing to lose.

Rachel is one of my favourite comedians so it was such a pleasure to get her on the podcast. If you don’t know her, then you can watch her show ‘Showgirl’ for free here www.youtube.com/watch?v=0G68...

Still annoyed about Kenny G on a 39-year-old TOTP and his pretentious smirking way of playing really fast irrelevantly and for no reason.

That white wisp on the mountain in the distance is the Conwy wildfire. It’s been burning at least since 4am, and is still going now. (The pic was taken about 5pm). This is from four miles away.

Congratulations to all the longlisted poets!

"We All Stand Together" is one of the dozen or so best melodies of the last eighty years, and the performative distaste for it just shows how people care more for perceptions of coolness than for musical quality.

Paul Whitelaw@paulwhitelaw.bsky.social · 2mo ago

It's Paul McCartney's birthday. You've probably noticed. So here's your semi-regular reminder that We All Stand Together is an utterly charming and lovely piece of music. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVfa...

Help! The term ‘Britpop’ is said to have been coined by Stuart Maconie in ‘Select’ in April 1993. It’s online here selectmagazinescans.monkeon.co.uk?p=471 I can’t find the word ‘Britpop’ - have I missed it? Have I got the wrong piece?

Guess we need you all to do this, what with our show having the terribly naughty word ‘Hell’ in its title.

Writer and artist ROSE RUANE @regretteruane.bsky.social gives us the five tracks she will meet in Hell! Rose talks about moving between art and writing; her love of Manic Street AND she names one song in particular a "C*nts' Charter", so that's worth the price of listening alone.
