Terrible film : you can bathe a corpse in groovy light and dress it in an expensive suit, but in the end that rotting smell just won't go away.

Too much too young - The Specials

Gave them culture, sophistication, rule of law, a sense of self pride and all round know how. Built schools and provided education, developed manufacturing and hospitals. Once they were on their feet we left them to it.

This technology is ruining the game

All this technology is ruining the game for me. Refusing to walk, 'Snicko' just isn't cricket, leather on willow and all that.

Hot aftershave bop - The Fall

Roll with it - Oasis 5 to go

Love of my life - Queen 15 to go

Ooby Dooby - Roy Orbison Hitting the 4000th post will be like checking a bid on eBay

For you petal, not for me

Why ? You only watch it for a fortnight ?

Ring of Fire - Johnny Cash

Can't see anything decent till Smaug in December

Man of Steel is just bloody silly. Morpheus is a fat get, Zod is no Terence Stamp, Russell Crowe's ghost can communicate and control a ship ? Shameless echoes of 9/11 and too much CGI. @#/?, give me Ned Beatty anyday

Faust Banana - The Fall (A rather splendid track and we're hurtling toward 4000 posts, who will hit the big 4K ??)

Live Forever - Oasis

Misshapes - Pulp

Manic Monday - The Bangles

Then Michael must be Ray Liotta ?

Scream if you wanna go faster - Geri Halliwell

Over you shoulder - Mötorhead

Elvis Costello tonight. Such a huge back catalogue so he did a wheel of fortune song selector. Bit flat in the middle but then a roaring sequence of Chelsea, Radio Radio, Pump it Up, Peace Love and Understanding etc. I left at the end with my lady friend before the disgraceful Tramp the dirt down

Buffalo Stance - Neneh Cherry

Went to check out another Cinema on a mystery shopper type thing, and bought a ticket for 'Populaire', what a treat ! A french film (english subs) set in the 1950's about speed typing. And it was .. Brilliant

Broken - Madonna
