TIL: There was a Thompson Twins computer game in 1984.
Play as one of the band to gather potion ingredients for the Doctor.
Hope they consider relaunching for the Switch 2.

Just pre-ordered a new compilation of French 60s trio Les Roche Martin. They only released 2 EPs and the one pictured here would cost about £300.

Anyone feel there should be more 60s French Pop on here?
Just seeing if there's interest for a possible #musicchallenge for September...
From 16-30 September, #Ye-Ye-Yeah will feature 15 daily song picks celebrating mod, garage, baroque pop, and of course yé-yé.
