    Friday on my Mind - Easybeats, proper fun pop song, give it a listen

    Great song. Bowie's version on Pin Ups is pretty good too.

    Caught myself humming River Deep Mountain High while I was out with the dogs this morning. I was coming down a small hill with stream at the bottom. My brain must be in a thousand billion times exaggeration mode this morning.

    Wasn’t aware of a Bowie version, knew that Springsteen had covered it, will have a look for it, cheers for the heads up

    Having looked at the quiz questions from the other night that @Henry Irving posted I thought of Norman Smith our old player.

    Norman Smith (not our old player) was a record producer involved with The Beatles and also did his own stuff as Hurricane Smith in the early seventies.

    Hence why I suddenly found myself singing 'Don't Let It Die'

    In my head only I hasten to add. I wouldn't subject the world at large to my singing voice unless as part of a large crowd.

    Just heard "Where I find my heaven" by the Gigolo Aunts. Quality tune, and not heard it since Game On finished

    Half Man, Half Biscuit have some of the greatest ever song titles, best of which I think is I Left My Heart in Papworth General.

    Girls Talk - Dave Edmunds. I can't remember what programme but it was randomly plonked on something last week. It took me back to a great free lunch-time gig Rockpile did in The Three Tuns bar at the LSE around 1978. Pub rock as an art form.

    One of my Fav songs along with Nick lowe , Cruel To Be Kind .
    I love the sound of breaking glass - another Lowe corker.

    Don't Let it Die - my first ever favourite song.

    Your post brought this to mind and made me want to say “Well answer the fucking door” good tune.

    Was just noodling around on the guitar earlier, and suddenly remembered “ Debris” by Ronnie Lane from the Faces Nod’s as good as a wink album.
    Dug it out, as I realised how much I used to like it. What a track. Back when the other Ron and Rod were also at the top of their game imho.
    It’s here if anyone else wants a listen -

    Wrote it about his dad apparently. Think that is one of my all time favourite songs.

    Just played the whole album on cassette twice over...

    This was No.1 when I first started listening to music, along with ‘When I’m dead and gone’ which I think was at no. 2 at the time.
    I can remember listening to the Dave Edmunds’ track and wondering if this was the fabled “ underground” music being talked about by everyone at school, because his voice sounded to me like it had been recorded at an underground station.
    I hadn’t heard of ‘reverb’ back then.

    Do you normally sing that to your phone?

    Only You - Yazoo

    Written by Vince Clarke just before he left Depeche Mode! Offered it to them initially but they turned it down! Oh well.

    Mind you, Moyet's original version is excellent and no one else has done it justice like she did/still does in my opinion.
    Great song. Am I alone in believing The Flying Pickets version is the best?
    No, I do too.

    I suppose I should have mentioned that the temperature was 3 degrees.
