Another brilliant @wrongtom.bsky.social thread. Half are news to me, the others I’d never dug into.
Love the video for justice vs simian as well.

10 years today since I did this anniversary gig at the original Spiritland in Shoreditch. So this is the anniversary of the anniversary 🙃
It's now almost 40 years since I made my first "mix" tape, and 30 since my first DJ set (at The Blue Note, round the corner from where this gig took place)

While obviously I'd love to hear Ghost Town in Stranger Things, there are reasons it doesn't belong there which are thrice:
1. Ghost Town came out in 1981, over 2 years before the 1st episode is set. Of course there's seemingly no reason why they wouldn't be listening to an older record, except...

I've always been disappointed that they never used Ghost Town tbh.

I’d finally get my semi-autobiographical film ‘Bright Grey’—set in 1986, opens with a UFO sighting while watching Blankety Blank, and features a dance routine to Don’t Leave Me This Way—into production
If you were a despotic president, what movie would you force Hollywood to make? I want to see Quentin's Star Trek movie or maybe Kill Bill Vol 3.

Just went down an ill-advised Blankety Blank rabbit hole, and randomly clicked on the 1983 Christmas special to discover that Captain Tom Moore was one of the contestants. Terry makes a slightly saucy joke about the Captain coming from Tipps End www.youtube.com/watch?v=xlBP...

I’ve been planning on making some Middle-aged Man Talks About Records video content (because there’s obviously a deficit of Middle-aged Man Talks About Records video content on the internet) but now I don’t want to do it unless I have a Sony ECM-51 Price Is Right microphone

I still remember loading my car up with my percussion gear to perform Trickshot with Ceasefire on a TV show called The Buzz, only to receive a message on my pager (it was 1995) saying we'd been dropped from the slot because the producer hadn't realised it was riddled with swear words
Still have the original pressing.

The only time I ever went to Feet First at Camden Palace was when this came out, and it was playing as we walked in. I was with one of the guys who'd made Wall Of Sound's previous best seller, and The Propllerheads had just outsold it. Never would have guessed they'd hit top 20 with Shirley Bassey
