My ‘Macca Goes Weird’ playlist will span the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s and 2000s. It’s an eclectic mix. Hopefully the deep cuts will be unfamiliar to some. It was hard to choose only an hour’s worth of material, as you can imagine. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

Backrooms, the word is on the tombs that the distance in your rooms is large. You're sure you've seen it all before, like an episode of Mornin' Sarge. I don't believe that anybody feels the way you do about liminal space psychological horror now.
Of course, if you'd like a podcast chaser to go with this big delicious drink, then it would be our Series 4, Episode 51 that deals roughly with the contemporary number ones for this! (Original release 24 March 2025) plinkhq.com/i/1531129636...

Sad to note that Running Scared co-writer Joe Melson has died at the venerable age of 91. Also responsible for co-writing with Roy Orbison such classics as Only the Lonely, Crying, and Blue Bayou.

Well, I am in hog’s heaven with this collection. Wow.
You'll have heard last series, our UK number ones exploration, how much of an (ahem) shadow this group cast across the charts in the early days. I reckon this is probably one that's going to go on my birthday books list! (P)
