The songs that turned me on to artists, often artists that I knew but didn’t buy anything until this song. 25 : Beck : Sexx Laws

Can we not reach a point where we transcend passwords? I can’t remember any of them anymore and have to reset every time I buy anything

38 years ago today (it was a Tuesday) I took the afternoon off work, purchased Everything I Own by Boy George it had been released the day before, on the night I saw Cyndi Lauper at Hammersmith Odeon True Colors Tour, Feb 24th 1987.

David Frost Vs The Beatles on Sky Documentaries wasn’t quite what I was expecting but better than I thought, Marharishi, Lennon & Harrison in 67, as well as John & Yoko in 68, 69 & 72… good TV

First album purchased with your own money and not a birthday/xmas present

The David Frost Vs on Sky Documentaries tomorrow at 9pm looks good, starts with Paul McCartney interview from 1964 then John & Yoko interview from 1969, writing this to remind myself

I’m an adult now so I write shopping lists on my phone, I just don’t turn up at the supermarket not knowing what to buy. Today’s list just says Hot Cross Buns but still

Put aside the nastiness of this post, & the way in he attacks Zelenskyy as a dictator but says not a word about his pal Putin, & just focus on the way it is written: would you hire this weird person to work for you? Would you trust this odd person to teach your kid in school?

Colleague informs me that if you were black or a lesbian, or better still a black lesbian you were allowed to fly planes or join air traffic control without qualifications, not sure I have the energy to point out the lies, flaws and madness of that statement. I need coffee.

Reuters reporting that the Trump administration will likely close the office charged with resettling Afghans who helped the US military during their two decades’ worth of operations in the country. 200,000 people could be affected. www.reuters.com/world/office...

Rick Buckler made The Jam run. What a performance this is. R.I.P. youtu.be/RZfReolEXHU?...

Pretty disturbed by some of the Kremlin framing on the Trump talks being bought by parts of the media worldwide. It’s as if the genesis of the war is entirely forgotten. This isn’t a conflict which needs mediation. It was an unprovoked act of aggression. It could end tomorrow if Putin just withdrew.

Did any band, let alone the biggest band on the planet ever finish their recording career (at the time) with a better sentiment than "...in the end the love you take is equal to the love you make"

Watched the video of Paul Simon & Sabrina Carpenter from #SNL50 and it's funny how time is, and the young become old, Paul reminded me of my nan in 1977 but he is 83 now, and all of his achievements and feats have led him to be where he is now.
