He might well have hooked up with Difford & Tilbrook from them doing the music for a forthcoming comedy drama that Peter Kay is in, playing Danny Baker's dad. And I will watch at least one episode of that, good or bad, just to see what Peter's Sarf Lahndan accent is like. He is supposed to be a bit of a perfectionist - check out the little details of 'Car Share' like the throwaway comment from Forever FM. Or the poster seen at the roadside in one episode.

1945: The Savage Peace. Worth watching on iPlayer. Grim stuff, but fascinating.

The couple from the cover of the 'Woodstock', still together after all these years.

I suppose it would have been a downer on the city's mood for Magic Weekend if Newcastle had been relegated.

Is that Hull Tigers I see going down?

Oh, excellent! There's a documentary about the making of 'Manos: the Hands of Fate'. Possibly the very worst film ever made.

The 'Forever FM' playlist.

Isn't it annoying when someone you don't like does something that you do like?

I've never even heard of that film. Must give it a try. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7llb8mTynzU

ABC - The Lexicon of Love, plus 'When Smokey sings' from the Alphabet City album. Some wonderful pop/soul tracks.

If you haven't got these TD albums already, try 'Force majeure' or the 'Thief' soundtrack.

I'm not always in the mood for it, but sometimes, when you have the time, a bit of TD just lets you swim in the sounds.

Chilling to 'Phaedra' by Tangerine Dream.

I haven't followed the very latest few series as closely as I did the peak years either. From what I've seen, there are still great bits, but the ideas are drying up. After all, what haven't the family done at least twice already?

Harry Shearer has quit 'The Simpsons'.

You do know that, after last Thursday's result, there won't be a coalition government?

I was just surprised anyone ambitious wanted to sign for Manly in their current circumstances.

Oops, missed the original post.

Nate Myles to Manly, apparently.

Angels' Revenge. A cross between the A Team and Charlie's Angels. One of Jack Palance's many many career cul-de-sacs. A team of six young women with all the acting talent of 0.1% of one woman, including Playboy model Susan Kiger, team up to fight the evil of drugs. The team, naturally, includes a token black woman (who is the big tough one) and a token Asian woman (who is the martial arts expert. Bet you didn't expect that!). The rest of the team? They run the gamut, from boobs'n'big hair to big hair'n'boobs.. The dialogue is delivered as if read for the first time, with pauses before long words and the emphasis frequently on the wrong syllables. Then it's on with the revealing white satin jumpsuits and into (unconvincing) action.

Radiohead's Thom Yorke on the cover of an Iranian sex manual.

I don't normally condone foul play, but sometimes...

Once, every now and then, you find yourself typing something strange, like "Peter Tosh, on a unicycle, singing Johnny B.Goode". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBKTv6AJD0A#t
