Just remembered that far more than all the Travis doing Baby One More Time nonsense the most “how dare you?” I’ve ever been at a cover was Damon Albarn having a bash at Farmer In The City

The #ALL50RTS public have spoken loud and clear (except for a draw in group 3 but never mind that) And the first artist is gonna have an… interesting playlist when it’s alphabetised! What’s the best SCOTT WALKER (or Walker Brothers) non-single track? (album track/B Side/etc)

Big thanks to the rando who replied to a joke post about Kneecap with news the US bombed Iran, that one had passed me by as it happens

Of the various Spotify alternatives, which is the best for coverage of music (especially current non US/UK music and older stuff) - not especially bothered about sound quality

My theory of Meta is that it’s all based on trying to make the ads in 70s comics come true. Here are the X-Ray Glasses, AI profiles are sea monkeys, Threads is like GRIT, next step is him restarting the Black Dragon Fighting Society

There are only going to be a handful more #ALL50RTS threads & playlists before Arron kicks off the actual challenge (and I turn my attention to the 1975 pop poll) - so this is an open thread to request which artists I do them for! WHO NEEDS AN #ALL50RTS?

#pop75 listening to ANOTHER GREEN WORLD - one of my favourite albums of 1975 but it’s very much a more than the sum of its parts deal, take any of these out of their bran tub context and they’d feel like sketches (this is also why there’s no Eno in my All50rts)
