The record I most regret dropping from the #IntoTheGroove marathon playlist was You Made Me Realise, because it just didn't fit anywhere, which I guess is a tribute to the record.

Realised I hadn’t posted this here. This is from the #IntoTheGroove event we did in Mumbles on Wednesday. (I look deep in thought here.) My thanks to my interviewer, the brilliant @juderogers.bsky.social, and to everyone who came along!

#IntoTheGroove (I had a couple of ground rules: 1) No repeated artist, although a few individuals turn up in different guises, 2) No repetition of a track that was on the companion playlist I made for my last book #DontStopTheMusic, which you can find here: www.tunemymusic.com/share/ZSxEPK...)

I recently made a companion playlist of 300 tracks for my new #IntoTheGroove book. Chronologically arranged 1980-1989, some of it's familiar, some of it's less so. It's not an exhaustive list, but I hope it gives you a flavour of the book's scope. www.tunemymusic.com/share/kQHEUO...

If only I'd checked in advance that that was going to be quite probably the worst single episode of #totp of the entire 1980s.
Still. There's always my book to cheer you up. #IntoTheGroove OUT NOW.

I have a new book out called #intoTheGroove about the history of 1980s pop, it's been very well-received so far, and for the next #totp, I'll be giving some pointers as to the sort of thing you can expect in its pages.

Boris Gardiner, I'm afraid to say, is not mentioned in #IntoTheGroove. It's been rare for me to admit that someone's missing. #totp

There is, as you'd expect, a fair bit about Neil and Chris in the pages of #intoTheGroove. For instance, Neil was heavily involved in setting up the American version of Smash Hits, called Star Hits, and in Nov 1983 interviewed someone about to be very very famous indeed. #totp

@whenisbirths.bsky.social Top bloke, top book. #Intothegroove in all good bookshops now!
Hyperaware that I'm doing a lot of me me me at the moment re: #IntoTheGroove, but I recently did the I Completed 80s Music podcast with @80smixtaper.bsky.social Iain, who asked me many good questions about the book. And I answered them, fortunately for both of us. www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyzc...

As I’ve warned in some of the #IntoTheGroove promo, let’s not pretend 80s music was all good and as if to prove it, tonight’s Oct 86 #totp.
