Bad jokes & bad opinions about music & gaming. Consider muting #TOTP. He/him.
I got overexcited by Olivia Rodrigo mentioning a World Heritage Site in "drop dead", so it's only fair that I acknowledge Taylor Swift beginning "august" with "Saltaire, and the rust on your door..."
Might not be revolutionary exactly but "Movin' Too Fast" is very lovely #TOTP
"Caught Out There" was a bigger hit than "Stumped Out There" and a much bigger hit than "Obstructing the Field Out There" #TOTP
Because it's a Randy Newman joint I always assumed "Mama Told Me (Not To Come)" was a song with a joke, i.e. that it wasn't a very wild party at all and the narrator was just sheltered #TOTP
I hadn't heard this before and was prepared to cautiously tolerate it until Kelly's foghorn opened up #TOTP
I love "Pure Shores", the William Orbit sound and All Saints's's voices combine brilliantly for a song that - I've just been hit by the realisation that I may just like it because it sounds like video game water level music #TOTP
Imagine if Jay-Z had just continued on that career trajectory forever. "And that rhymes with P, uh-huh uh-huh, and that stands for pool, uh-huh" #TOTP
What a happy coincidence that her beau was named Max eh #TOTP
I am on the record as a fan of "talkie bits" but even I find myself slightly taken aback by RAYE's album THIS MUSIC MAY CONTAIN HOPE., which I think might technically qualify as an audiobook
THIS IS NOT A DRILL The full length broadcast edition of Richard Stilgoe's meisterwerk and magnum opus, "Statutory Right Of Entry", has FINALLY seen the light on Youtube. Stop what you are doing RIGHT NOW and watch this. This is the greatest day ever. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGPA...

The Christian tracts being handed out on the street have a "Further Reading" list on the back topped by "1. The Bible" and yeah, fair enough, can't really argue with that
Can't believe they got the little blue guy back again for this video, bet he charged them a lot #TOTP
In all the post-match analysis I'm not seeing anyone asking the important questions, ie with streams of Wonderwall and TL now presumably falling off a cliff, have Fender & Dean secured a 17th week at Number One?
I've said it before but it bears repeating: because England fans like England winning, and non-England fans like incessantly whining about how terrible England are and how they just get lucky, the most optimal outcome for the World Cup is England win in the dodgiest, most undeserved manner possible.
MC Escher at Somerset House. This print, "Flatworms", seems like it should be the cover art for an N64 puzzle platformer.
(to the tune of "Dead!" by My Chemical Romance) 🎶 Come ride a train to Beamish To see a sweetshop that is Ve-ry Well Preserved 🎶
groove armada. what a terrifying concept. a groove squadron? sure. groove fleet? a bit excessive but I can dig it. but an armada? dangerous amount of groove. potentially lethal in the wrong hands.
Tom Ewing@tomewing.bsky.social · 4w ago#TheN0ughtie5 Day 33 18. GROOVE ARMADA ft MUTYA BUENA - “Song 4 Mutya (Out Of Control)” (07, UK) Don’t panic Mutya!! Evangelising this onto a Pitchfork end of year list remains my most significant contribution to music criticism youtu.be/FY5NYBRMurk?...
I like to think I have relatively few insufferable habits, but I do refer to any kind of ingredient preparation from chopping an onion up as "mise en place", so there is that
Next to me @greendayfan333.bsky.social points out that you can't be pitchin' in every direction, because in some of those directions you're rollin' or yawin' instead #TOTP
Not to be confused with Ed Miliband's debut single, "Kitchen (In Every Direction)" #TOTP
Live version, I can only assume because the Noam Chomksy quote at the start of the record was too incendiary and radical to play on the BBC, yeah? #TOTP
Oh no #TOTP heard us calling out for them to play the top 10 single by a future UK Eurovision entrant but thought we meant this one
