Ramblings about the charts for fun and profit. A "nasty piece of work". Who are all these people who go "No DMs"? I wish people messaged more, frankly.

Tinie Tommeh deserves all of the credit for engineering a situation where Daily Mail journalists are the good guys.
The bottom end of the final midweek Top 40 update is sending me. Back to back to back to back oldies.

Lost to history until this year.
Because some bugger has uploaded it to YouTube.

A couple of years early he'd released a pop record. Entirely self-made and self-produced. With minimal promotion it only sold a hundred or so copies locally. But he had a minor celebrity as a result.
A copy ended up in circulation amongst the music teachers who got every class to listen and critique it.
School reunion groups on Facebook reminisced about it but the record itself remained lost to history, save for its entry on Discogs.

Way way back in the summer of 1986 we got a new PE teacher at school. Local chap called Marcus Hill. He was essentially a temp, a short term hire for the summer term to replace a departed colleague and essentially filling time before he went to a new job at a private school in September.
All the girls swooned over him. He was young, bleached blonde, rippped muscles and blessed with a North Yorkshire attitude, being a local Harrogate boy.
He also had a claim to fame.
I have this theory that everything ends up on the internet eventually.
Events this week showed this theory to be increasingly valid.
Something genuinely unheard for over 40 years is now available for everyone to hear.

Billboard predicts that Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” could be in the running to reach #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for the first time ever this Halloween week.
It’s up 42% in U.S. streams year-over-year, according to Luminate.

Manchester United brought so much pain and misery to my childhood. I could never imagine they would become such a potent source of joy and laughter in my adulthood.
