Steely Dan "Aja" 1977 A true timeless classic. Distinctive musicianship. A harmonious blend of horns, vocals, rhythms & guitar flowing in smooth musical statements. Each song stands alone, none of the tracks sound alike. Each track is brilliantly unique in its own space.

It’s the anniversary of Dennis Bergkamp doing bits vs Fortuna Sittard in 1991. Five seconds. Six touches. One more glorious goal to add to his collection.

Antonio Rudiger has been given a six-match ban for throwing an object at referee Ricardo de Burgos Bengoetxea during his side’s 3-2 Copa del Rey final defeat by Barcelona — but his Real Madrid team-mate Jude Bellingham will not serve a suspension after being shown a red card following the game.

Arsenal have not lost a game in the UEFA Champions League at the Emirates Stadium this season. Mikel Arteta’s side have also kept five clean sheets in six games at home in the competition. One more to go… 🙏🏼

Ann Peebles "I can't Stand The Rain" 1973 Peebles got the idea for the song after being caught in a thunderstorm, saying " It was the fastest song we ever wrote, we just wrote it like in 15 minutes." It reached #30 on the R&B/Hip-Hop chart. John Lennon called it "the best song ever."

At the 1970 #WorldCup West Germany began the group stage v Morocco in Leon. The Africans took a shock lead before goals from Uwe Seeler and Gerd Müller sealed a opening win.

" I wrote the "Like A Hurricane" lyrics on a piece of newspaper in the back of (friend) Taylor Phelps' 1950 DeSoto Suburban, a huge car that we all used to go to bars in." Neil Young

The Doors "Morrison Hotel" 1970 One of the most innovative bands of the 60's to early 70's. High quality musicianship, which at times was overshadowed by Jim Morrison's moody persona & public antics. This album features Lonnie Mack, whose edgy blues style influenced Jeff Beck & Stevie Ray Vaughan.

The English Beat released their new single “Mirror In The Bathroom” on 25 April 1980, from the ‘Just Can’t Stop It’ album.

Meanwhile, this is a fascinating read. Highly recommended reading for today. Lest we forget. www.footballvictoria.com.au/news/search-...

Ian Dury "New Boots And Panties!!" 1978 A striking and memorable image. Dury got the idea for the sleeve art whilst waiting for a bus in London's Victoria area, & noticed the rather old fashioned shop front. The boy in the photo is his son, Baxter.

The failure of sokkahtwitter to migrate over to here is frustrating. Hopefully I can get some take up on issues like this on www.footballvictoria.com.au/news/search-... I don’t really want to dip back in over there but I have on this matter.

Now playing is the brilliant Joy Division with ‘Closer’. “Mother, I tried, please believe me I'm doing the best that I can I'm ashamed of the things I've been put through I'm ashamed of the person I am” @punkandnewwave.bsky.social @scotspostpunk.bsky.social
