Joy Division - New Dawn Fades.

Leonard Cohen. Just about all of them.

First aiders don't really save lives, we just try to keep things going until the folk who can save lives turn up.

> Most people suck at both rescue breathing

I certainly did until we got the Bluetooth enabled dummies, I was pumping far, far too much breath and in and would probably have caused the recipient to vomit. I get retrained every year, and we spend a lot of time on CPR.

Albums didn't happen till quite late on - relatively speaking - in musical history. Most records were 2 track or 4 track EPs until the 3 1/3 LP came along (about 1948 according to Wikipedia) The BBC did a very good documentary on "Concept Albums" which covered this.

I'd make a bid for Rock with Bill Haley and the Comets - rock and roll was the first counterculture musical phenomenon that I can think of.

I dunno, there have been half a dozen LEMs slowly decaying on the surface for 4 decades, I think we've ensured that lunar colonists won't miss out on those vital micro-nutrients.

For a real laugh you have to get Beethoven to listen to 4:33 by Glass.

Wuthering Heights - I saw it on Swap Shop.

I remember seeing that on Swap Shop one Saturday in 78... On TOTP she performed live (and insisted on being live). Still a great song (I prefer her first 3 albums to the later stuf...I'm old)

Love Songs by New Model Army. Still brings a tear to my eye when I remember listening to it when I was young and hurting.

I don't - it may be small beer, but I was literally blown off my bike this morning, and I've a lot less area to pick up the wind.

There's a mountain (hill) in Wales called Blorenge, and part of fungus called a sporange.

Now, let's talk about purple.

His name better not be Robin.

It's not just England - I went to an after hours reception in the National Museum of Scotland, and part of that included a tour of the archives - rooms and rooms of artefacts locked away in the basement. Art galleries are the same - hundreds of paintings locked away in basements, rarely being seen by the public. We should use the dialogs that are evolving round the Elgin Marbles and other disputed artefacts to start a re-evaluation of the collections - what we should show, what we should store, what should we re-patriate, and what to do with the surplus.

Inheritance by New Model Army off Thunder and Consolation.

I was never a fan of Justin's spoken word songs, and this one just spoils the flow of an otherwise excellent album.

Force of habit?

The United States still has the Federal death penalty, I think that the last time it was used was Timothy McVeigh for the Oklahoma bombing. It's rare, but it is still on their statute book.

It's one reason I'll never visit there. Over here in Britain recently an active conversation has started about restoring the death penalty, politicians are endorsing it, and some polls put support way over 50%, so we can't try and claim the moral high ground.

It's Kraftwerk, I'd say that was pretty good value for money. I forget how much Brian Eno for the 3.25 seccond Windows 95 start sound but it was in the same ball park.

It was us guv, Dunkin' Donuts was shut...

Long Slow Goodbye - Queens of the Stone Age, Lullabyes to Paralyze

Nuages - that which passes, passes like clouds - King Crimson. Always mellows me out.

Kate Bush - Never for Ever - recently dug this out of my archives, and by and large it's some of the most chilled music around.

Boris Johnson says a lot of things, but it is very rare for them to be true.

Weirdly it was Killing Joke at the Garage in Glasgow in the mid-90s. Jaz Coleman got one of his anti-establishment red mists and was haranguing every one about the evils of the Tory government "they fucked you all in the ass man, they fucked you all" whilst Geordie and Youth kept the riff going. He was eventually, still declaiiming loudly, dragged off stage by the club bouncers as they wanted to open the place as a nightclub.

The cleaning gig will probably last a lot more than 8x longer than the onlyfans gig.

I was clearing on office last year and found a 20ish year old palm pilot - I put it in the charging cradle, and 3 hours later I had - and stil have -a fully functioning, touch screen palm pilot. Which I could use. And it would be about as much use as an axe made by Homo Heidelbergensis - work maybe once or twice then disintegrate.
