New pundits already lining up to take the MOTD slot vacated by Ian Wright

@petewylie 1 Did I hear you tell a story on the radio once about someone connected with Philip Glass saying Sinful had the best PG “tribute” ever? 2 Are there two videos for Loverboy or have I hallucinated one where there are just three other musicians and you?

[Colm Redmond @colm59]

@junethomas You don't wanna get me started on this topic yet again. You're describing just about every radio show and podcast in existence (except Michael Rosen's Word Of Mouth, which is a model of economy.)

[Colm Redmond @colm59]

ABBA looked like the people you’d meet at a horrible dinner party who would insist ABBA are “just a stupid pop group” and, if pushed, say “Well, Dancing Queen was all right I suppose.” Benny would be the one saying “And ACTually, Napoleon didn’t even surrender at Waterloo!”

Heat at the Rock Garden in 1980...?

[Colm Redmond @colm59]

That’s me looming up over Bowie and infuriating @petewylie because I’d already left Wah! Heat and stole his place here. He rushed into Pink Military’s rehearsal room to show us.

@junethomas I stand with A Place In The Sun, this beauty - with its single placename-as-whole line - reigns:

[Irvine Welsh @IrvineWelsh]

Trainspotting parodies usually bore the shit out of me, but I quite like this one.

[Colm Redmond @colm59]

@SoundsClips This same joke survives on MOTD2, when they’ll say “We could have made a Goal Of The Month just with Salah’s goals.” It certainly felt like I was buying at least one of Nick Lowe’s productions and/or his own records every week at that time.

[Colm Redmond @colm59]

@petewylie Will still be called LiVARpool tomorrow, though. By the same kind of geniuses who called us Luckypool even when we hadn’t won the league for 30 years.

[Colm Redmond @colm59]

Honestly, you wake up thinking your musical career’s still rocking along, a mere 43yrs after it peaked, and then you find THIS review of an album you’re on (that was once #1 in the Amazon chart.) (Yes, the Amazon Free Jazz & Avant Garde chart; what’s your point? It still counts.)

[Colm Redmond @colm59]

A remarkably specific determination to spoil some plans.

[Colm Redmond @colm59]

Did this Wah! Heat gig actually happen? @petewylie

[Colm Redmond @colm59]

@junethomas If only ALL media outlets were this quick to retract / correct, the world would be a much better place. This week in particular.

[Colm Redmond @colm59]

Shockingly, not one single person made a “When I’m Sixty-Four” reference when I turned 64 last week. Have I outlived everyone who woulda…?

[Colm Redmond @colm59]

@Will_Fuzz Wouldn’t have known till recently but it’s now very familiar to all viewers of The Diplomat.

[Colm Redmond @colm59]

I never knew I wanted to see Homeland restaged as a modern-day Bridgerton, but The Diplomat is literally that. If this was made in the 80s Joan Collins would be in Keri Russell's role.

They’re introducing the sport of “Holding your phone in one hand while you rummage through all your pockets with the other one looking for it” for the next Olympics. Do you think you’ll beat me into the team?
