Working my way through the, as ever terrific, @500songspodcast.bsky.social on Zappa. Bearing in mind I like Gong, Berg, Strauss, Stravinsky, Coltrane, I’m always interested by my own reaction to every one of his songs which is a very lacking-in-critical-nuance “this is shit” 😂

They’ve been listening to too much Dean Martin.

“Why do these things keep happening to me?”

Glad I have no idea who Jared Leto is.

The opening sequence of that has to be the most thrilling thing committed to camera

“999, Sir? I’ll advise you that happened to be the Lurkers”

And like McDonalds they choose what they do and do it very well, consistently.

Book blurbs deciphered #booksky

Is that the Rausing circle? I think that’s pretty much where I am for the Strauss

He’s that bloke from that thing

“My Uncle is a Baronet who lives before the hearth, He likes to play the clarinet while sitting in his bath” Peter Jackson would get 3hrs 20 minutes out of that.

OK BBC, when’s the Bill Oddie tribute show on, then?

Well that just…finished. #TheArchers

I think the problem with the SLs this year is that they don’t have a beginning, a middle and end - there’s a lot of circular whingeing and navel gazing. I’ve had enough of them after 2 episodes #TheArchers

Mumford and Sons? Says it all #TheArchers

Nope… www.maptap.gg July 28 81🌟 96🔥 83😁 81🌟 80🌞 Final score: 826

I’ve watched this a few tines now - even if footie’s not your thing, the editing (?) is astonishing youtube.com/watch?v=20Fi...

I need to go back to it -the first episode looked very Ollie Plimsolls to me so I’m guessing it gets a lot better.

Well…that and the metric system, I guess.
