A song with a name in the title
I’m going with this track from The Fall called Bill is Dead.
This was played on 6 Music on that terrible day in January 2018 when the premature death of Mark Edward Smith at the age of 60 was announced.
Sadly missed.

Great result for #BristolCity against #Middlesbrough today. Boro are a very good side, so to beat them 2-0 with a squad currently in the grip of another injury crisis was a great result.
It’s been a good 2025 for City, all things considered, so here’s hoping that continues in 2026!

Had the weirdest dream last night.
Involved me making a documentary about a famous old pub but discovered that the house next door was being used to make porn films so I started to make a documentary about that instead.
I remember having a long conversation with a cat who spoke perfect English.

Here are my favourite 15 Dexys / Dexys Midnight Runners / Kevin Rowland tracks. Hope you enjoyed them, particularly if you weren’t previously familiar with Kevin Rowland’s solo material.
By the way, I don’t mind Come on Eileen, but it certainly isn’t in my top 15.

Here’s some 80s disco, inspired by a conversation I had earlier about Patrick Cowley.
Sylvester & Patrick Cowley - Do you wanna funk?
I imagine they actually wanted to ask “do you wanna fuck?”
