Also the Celebs being allowed to talk like producers, the civilians don’t seem to get to do that

I suspect if the bullying and/or price is right, they’ll find 32.2 lets them choose anywhere else in the US

Another Euro-banger. Although her version of the dance is different from the one I remember

Oh, the General Public song is *that* one

‘Police Officer’ ended up being sadly ironic too, given the circumstances of Smiley Culture’s death

French health & safety is basically a Gallic shrug

Having just seen today’s choice had a 2019 release prior to being re-recorded in 22, it’s on to tomorrow’s

Charli needs to be on my list as does Rina, so why not on the same record? Vote-splitting be damned, I like this!

Charli XCX & Rina Sawayama, Beg For You (🇬🇧/🇯🇵, 2022)

Really enjoyed that, and new to me, so thanks!

How long do we have for these?

I’d probably add “my constituents are deeply concerned about Kashmir” and “I’m still angry about Iraq” as categories but seems fair otherwise

I’d go further and require the English to be fluent in Welsh to maintain their citizenship

Not expecting this to be in anyone else’s 50. It’s a pleasant enough German indie rock/pop song, mildly uplifting this time, and it stubbornly clung on every time I pruned the playlist

I didn’t think the American corned beef and the British navy corned beef were the same thing, the US version being closer to salt beef/pastrami?

Think we were getting to the end of the worst bit of the pandemic by this point, when omicron appeared and everybody seemed to catch it instantly

This massively uplifting track helped you feel an end was in sight

I’m basing “fame” on total votes in Aaron’s polls!

3hrs is bloody impressive

Outdone by Belle & Sebastian’s Stuart Murdoch, surely?

Maybe Luis Enrique or Jensen Button? Alan Turing for a different kind of fame?

Although where the art is true to something the artist kept hidden but we subsequently learn, it also jars. Eg scenes in the Sandman about the domination of others, the bit in Annie Hall where Allen’s mate enthuses about sleeping with teenagers

No thanks.

I think people draw the line where they really enjoy the art - eg early Michael Jackson seems to get a pass

Pleased to see this one get votes already. Has a very pleasing Neil Hannon vibe for me

Black Coffee - Sarah Vaughan vs All Saints

Express Yourself - Madonna vs NWA

Full marks, imo

Low, Days Like These (2021, 🇺🇸)

The most redolent of lockdown for me, especially when the distortion cuts through their voices. “Living in days like these” indeed

Alfredo Binda in 1930

He’d won 4 of the previous 5, winning 8/14 stages in 1929. In 1926, when he didn’t win, he’d lost 20 mins crashing on stage 1 so helped a teammate win (while winning 6 stages out of 11 and taking 2nd overall himself)

So they paid him the winner’s prize money to stay away

From an 18 year old to a song about being 17

I’ve enjoyed today’s selections - plenty new to me. This probably isn’t new to many but still enjoyable Geordie guitary fun
