R Veronica just played this and I never tire of retelling the tale, as witnessed by Steve Ellis of Love Affair who was on the same TOTP, of how at the afternoon rehearsal run through all the technicians and camera crew stopped and applauded at the end.

Agonised orchestral maximalism in turbulent 1968. I was four and watching BR do this on Time For Blackburn scared the bejesus out of me. @agincourtgirl.bsky.social writes excellently about the song here:

Chatted to the lady at the post office to warn her I’ll be turning up with a small mountain of zines this weekend. Also sorted postage to Australia and the Republic of Ireland, so if you’re in either, you can finally grab one. 🇦🇺 🇮🇪

Very pleased to receive this new book by Daniel Rachel - a catalogue of Rock’s flirtation with fascist symbolism that builds into a relentless polemic. Important and timely

ChatGTP doesn’t have bills to pay and doesn’t have to worry constantly.

19—Absolute Beginners: David Bowie

After the wrong turn of Tonight, Bowie needed a reset. This theme duly provided. A pop song unmoored from its strictures to float, at indulgent length, into something more experimental and uncertain.

1—Butcher’s Tale (Western Front 1914)

An anti-war song in the spirit of Owen and Sassoon. Listen to White's chorus and hear one of the greatest evocations of Shellshock/PTSD to ever be committed to wax. Unspeakably powerful.

2—A Rose for Emily

This is their 'Eleanor Rigby'. Like the Beatles classic, it has an unflinching eye, yet is heavy with empathy. The sparse, inverted chords and immaculately crafted melody make it a quiet tour de force.

8—Hung up on a Dream

Built on a beautiful and haunting if slightly repetitive melody, Blunstone's vocal perfectly captures the innocence of the lyric. A lovely dreamy arrangement too, complete with an ace guitar solo.
