#NowPlaying If I ever become famous enough to go on "Desert Island Discs" I'd just choose this entire LP and be done with it. Yeah, I'd be a dreadful guest, but I'd have satisfaction. Never fails to stir my soul...

Youri Tielemans scored the only goal as Aston Villa beat Fulham #OnThisDay in 2025 😍 #AVFC

"Hey. What's Lucky hooked up to?" "A respirator. It breathes for him..." "And here I am using my own lungs like a sucker!"

Up the Villa. Huge game today. Chance to basically seal a Champions League place and put another nail in Tottenham's coffin. I hope all those at the game bring the noise. #AVFC #UTV

It’s only half time , keep the faith 💪 I believe 💪 #avfc

Ooh look at me, I’m Brentford and I’m gonna help Spurs and ruin the whole country’s fun just so we can qualify for Europe. Grow up.

@Noneyuns52 Her Jazz-Rock work is her best work I think

@AVFCOliver She plays guitar better than her critics but they don’t know it. I have a feeling the haters are basing their opinions on a very limited knowledge of her work, i.e. a song or two they’ve heard on the radio. Joni has incredible depth on many levels.

Seeing a lot of Joni Mitchell hate on my timeline lately for some reason. One of the great artists of our time, folks. Don't forget it.

One of the most satisfying goals 😮‍💨

Louis Armstrong live is charisma, genius, and joy all at once.

So, I tied an onion to my belt... which was the style at the time!

The Simpsons made a brilliant reference to the opening sequence of The Sopranos.

This Two Ronnies sketch was never televised originally (it appeared many years later), but I’ve no idea why. It was written by Ronnie Barker, under the pseudonym Gerald Wiley, and for my money it gives Four Candles a run for it’s money. Seriously, if I’d written something this good I’d just retire immediately. What a talent! Good morning.

From the great Phil Hartman here is a tribute for Phil Hartman from Matt Groening from @TheSimpsons comic Issue #37. #TheSimpsonsGoats #TheSimpsons #SimpsonsForever

Stripping it back to its essentials in a live acoustic setting, The La’s delivered “Timeless Melody” with a raw, understated feel, a track from The La’s from 1990 that became one of their most loved songs.
