Today I will mostly be exploring the music of Shed Seven.
I bought a CD single, Devil In Your Shoes when it came out and that was that.
But I've just heard a song called Mark which is brilliant.
Any other Shed Seven fans out there?
Good evening all and welcome to the much-awaited
#FavePeelSession
tournament.
I'd like to start by raising a glass in memory of John Peel.
Thank you for all those hours of education.
Many, many hours.🍷
45 years old today.
One of the finest parts of growing up if you were 11 at the time.
Favourite tracks?
I'd certainly start with Silly Thing but the album was certainly what you could call fun- packed.
Sincere condolences and pray God rest in peace Andy Rourke.
A truly great bassist and The Smiths changed my world for the better during troubled teen years.
I think many would echo the same.

This. Even in defeat the Afghans were at least entertaining. More than can be said for Iceland Cricket's failed attempt at comedy.

Imagine spending £200 and travelling 600 miles to watch that rubbish. Got what we deserved today, nothing. That's a massive three points for you guys. Can only hope you push on now and get the points needed to go again next season.

That was a lovely moment Jofra. Respect to the game. That glare he gave! But such a smashing guy to.laugh about it afterwards. Proper heat of the moment stuff and congrats on the win.
I'm minded to run a little One-Hit Wonders bracket but you need to do your homework and avoid nonsense lists such as this.
Big Country and A-ha had many top 40 entries and to call them one-hit wonders is actually both ignorant and insulting.
Save money on a trip to Toby Carvery by cooking your Sunday dinner for twice as long as required.
For added authenticity, put peas and gravy all over your carpet, hang some old pictures of people playing cricket and invite some local chavs around to drink Stella.

Has it been rescued yet?
If not I'll be happy to take my Clubcard into a store, cut it up in front of them and say I will never shop in their stores again.
Had the misfortune to work for these clowns.
It's disgusting. 🤬
When this album came out I was in Southampton and it was a long hot summer.
At the time I decided that "I Know It's Over" was the greatest song ever penned, lyrically incredible.
And I played the album so much, my Walkman started to melt.

Apologies to Closer, it was just too strong a field. I will leave you now to admire my home-made fish supper. 🤪
Twitter is an absolute mess now isn't it.
Under 'following' I'm getting all these ac ounts I've never heard of and under 'For You' I've got more chance of actually seeing a tweet from people I know.
When this album came out I was twelve. I found it mesmerising. I liked listening to it in bed in the dark. I'm doing exactly that right now. Is it still the same for me? Too early to say but Isolation is just beginning and I can feel the magic and sense the power.
Apparently the most popular debut single in the world is Transmission by Joy Division.
It did more for the future of music than Anarchy In The UK.
I think our planet is done.
