Today I discovered from Jim and Fenny from On The Wire that UCLAN has dropped the C and is now simply University of Lancashire. “You-clan” is no more :(

Always been the best of all the Spices.

30 years after the event, I have concluded that the best Spice Girl all along was in fact Mel C.

Happy for Bulgaria to win, and showing real quality by essentially improvising this winner’s performance rather than the infinitely-rehearsed staged performance.

But I’m loving this incidental music they’ve had, in longer form to end with before Te Deum.

I suppose this weekend would have been a good time to release my mix of Falco’s “Vienna Calling” versions. But I haven’t made it yet. It’s a vaguely planned follow-up from “Rock Me Amadeus” that I put up the other month youtu.be/i2UzJDurl9Y

I absolutely don’t mind a bit of electro swing, but the granddaddy of it all was from like 1988 … the peerless Aqua Regia “Big Band House”. I’m still looking to obtain the Rebop Refit remix after all these years … youtu.be/gJ30AdIY4gQ

Devastating article; largely agree. Comments worth reading, especially: “Modern Vinyl IS digital. It’s all recorded digitally, so you’re getting same digital recording on your vinyl I’m getting on my CD, but you’re paying , in 30yrs my CD will still sound good. It’s a scam.”

This is absolute genius. Such a clever idea: just use four words, two (except New Zealand) of which are your company name repeated, so your rhyme hook is at the start rather than the end.
Netherlands one is hands down the funkiest, someone went out on a limb there, nailed it.

At a time when the world feels more divided than ever, it's important to remember that we ARE divided, for many good reasons, and FUCK Them Lot. The only thing we all have in common, no matter the country, black or white, rich or poor, man or woman or sock - is autoglass jingle

Final Red Rose thoughts for now: Robin Ross Saturday evening show sometimes playing 12” versions of hot ones, Keith Macklin? old guy classical/country shows, non-stop top 20 about 6 each eve, the great John Gillmore, ever-present Dave Lincoln, Sally Moon on a Saturday morning 1/2

… then it became Rock FM. I was trying to listen to both that launch, and the surprise “4 Days In June” bonus competition on Radio 1, after the apparent end of the “31 Days In May” competition, with the prize selector. Fun times. 2/2 @airchecks
