It’s very odd aspect of post-Christian morality (for want of a better phrase) that as suicide has become destigmatised - indeed the state will do it for you - at the same time the media has become so sensitive about the issue that it feels the need to carry warnings.

The Coronas are on Virgin media. They are the most uninteresting band I ever heard. Even their name is shit

It was first used in an iconic Levis advert 30 years ago, directed by Michel Gondry. Fittingly, like the latest Toyota advert, it also features mermaids - youtube.com/watch?v=uN1SL7…

Nice to hear the fabulous "Underwater Love" by Smoke City cropping up in adverts again.

"Pumping on Your Stereo" is one of those songs you're shocked to realise doesn't actually feature the title in the lyrics of the song. #TOTP

I believe that "Saltwater" and the song that it interpolates ("Theme from Harry's Game" by Clannad) are the only songs sung in Irish that reached the UK Top 40, unless anyone knows better. #TOTP

The ending of "That Don't Impress Me Much" implies that there was a full, secret, unreleased verse where the person she's addressing is an Elvis Impersonator. #totp

One of my wife's young co-workers had never heard of Shania Twain when she mentioned them. A few weeks later she said to her - "what's the name of that country artist you mentioned before? Shamia Shane?" #totp

By a remarkable coincidence, Lloyd Cole is in the middle of a tour which still has available tickets.

I’m sure you all want to hear my hot take about “Lost Weekend” whilst we’re at it.
