Remembering Tim Buckley on his birthday. Here he is playing Song to the Siren on the final episode of The Monkees TV show in 1968, two years before he released a very different version on his Starsailor LP
Gideon Coe is great.
Now I have a load of new (to me) stuff to listen to at the stage of my life when this type of discovery is so few and far between. Thank you so much for showing why people like you and 6music are so valued by many of us. Have a great Xmas.
@gidcoe.bsky.social Hi Gid, I just want to say thank you for playing Snow Is Falling in Manhattan by Purple Mountains last night. It stopped me in my tracks, I had never heard it/them before, set me off down a rabbit hole of them, then Silver Jews, dont know how I'd missed them, terrible about DB.
Other way round mate!
I used to have them at school at the end of the 70's!

Birmingham City On Tour
Out Of Office - ON.
What a week so far. From a waitress asking me if I am looking for the easily accessible toilet in a restuarant, to finding out "pre-diabetes" is now something that I need to look out for, to the day a major media series about Birmingham City becomes a reality.
Living the dream 😂
I only have Instagram to see what my kids are doing, but after reading that, I found you and watched everyone one of those "reels." They were both hilarious and gut-wrenching, very much like your books. Liked and followed 💙😂
Bohemian Rapsody. Would rather shit in my hands and clap.
Congratulations Buddha, may your retirement be long and enjoyable!
Honestly, I still cannot get over the Army playing "Fortunate Son" at Trump's parade. It's like the DJ at Drake's birthday party playing "Not Like Us."
This is the last thing the BBC needs
‘When I asked for a Jalfrezi in Birmingham. Spice level is vastly different from where I am from. Went lightheaded from breathing too fast. Waiter showed his sympathy by dancing around and saying ‘Wooooo, you are in Brum now, son’.’
This makes me miss Brum intensely.
Pulitzer for John for this.
I think the previous owner may have been a Blair Witch? Careful Will!
Will forever be the best gig I have ever been to.
We'll take the cash! He doesn't want to be at Blues, and has made that perfectly clear. Hope you guys can handle him as he definitely has talent...
It’s 41 years since Diego Maradona caused a riot during the Copa Del Rey final - by straightening out Bilbao’s Miguel Sola.
Bring yer dinner.
Remember Carson Yeung? Birmingham City fans will. A fascinating dive by Martin Purbrick into the Wo Hop To trade society, whose shadow looms large over Yeung's business affairs. asiacrimecentury.substack.com/p/the-wo-hop...
30 years ago today Ajax are trapped by their own corner flag by MVV.
With no obvious way out, they can either hit Row Z… or score one of The Great Team Goals Of All Time.
This side was a roll call of legends.
Take a break Driver 8
FUCK VAR
So do I! Bit surprised we went for him but Peters drafted him for you and the other vets we've taken on worked last season so just have to trust him. I can see him being used more as an RB for us.
29 years ago today:
Gabriel Batistuta races through on Inter’s goal.
Just when you expect his right foot to unleash total destruction… he does this instead.
Peak Batigol was unreal.
Once you start looking up pictures from Demis Roussos photo sessions, you can never stop.
