#1C000LEST Day23 28: The Associates - Party Fears Two Two things. That Escher-esque piano line - starts bright, confident, gets lost, doubles back, repeats to fade - is the best terrace melody never sung. And Billy, a Romo Frank Spencer in the vid, beamed from Bowie, bruised & beautiful. AWAKE ME!

#1C000LEST Day22 29: Inner City - Good Life Clock the vid to scan this track's rapturous thrills: Paris Grey, a dazzling flash of smiles & movement, poncing about that there London. Kev is rarely seen. Probably pining to return to his Detroit allotment with rest of the Belleville 3: Barbara & Tom.

Curious about what others think of my #1C000LEST selections so far, and, more importantly, where they think it's heading. The challenge: to select 50 tracks from a pre-ordained list of 1000 spanning over a 100 years of pop. I've ranked my list, so it's building up to my pick of the pops. 🧵(1/6)

#1C000LEST Day20 31: A-ha - The Sun Always Shines on TV "Please don't ask me to defend" Those aren't the words of Harry Maguire, but Nordic lust generator Horton Market. In a fair, just and sane world, this exhilarating pocket pop symphony would be held in greater reverence than Take On Me. Dyktig

Tragic news: I had to delete my Mixcloud Space Disco mix. Better news: It's been replaced by the Director's Cut: a more energetic finale has been spliced in (thanks Audacity), more Jawas, Han shoots first AND 20.6% longer. Put it in your tummy! Yum yum!

#1C000LEST Day19 32: The Teardrop Explodes - Reward I was 5 when this nervy, chaotic marvel was played by my older scouse cousins. It remains one of my earliest memories. They (cousins) regressed to U2 & Simple Minds. Whilst I maintain the line is "Bless my cotton socks I'm in the nude." I was 5.

Sure I just saw a @isthisross.bsky.social post about Deerhunter. A live performance of Nothing Ever Happened (exceptional song). Don't want to steal thunder, but here's the studio version. Also shit hot. youtu.be/4MOECvAlbXk?...

Daughter (12 yo) has started watching Stranger Things. She's binged Season 1 and developed a crush on.......Dustin. "Adorable," apparently. Game's gone.

That funky BBC Orchestra sound. James Brown taking notes (whilst laughing). Thwack-thwack-thwack. #totp
