/Tuesday Ten /566 /Midlife Crisis
I turned forty-six last month, so I’m likely now in the right place for a midlife crisis.

/Tuesday Ten /553 /The Road
This week, I’m digging back into a suggestion thread that was posted almost exactly four years ago, and I’d not used until now.
/Tuesday Ten /508 /A Kind of Magic
We’re nearing the end of October, and thus in the week of Devil’s Night and All Hallow’s Eve – or Hallowe’en, of course. So I thought I’d dig into my list of as-yet-unposted subjects to find an appropriate one.
/Tuesday Ten/444/History Repeating
This week, as the Tuesday Ten series reaches a repeating number in the form of 444, I will now attempt this week’s post without repetition, deviation, or hesitation. Actually, maybe not. I’ll leave that to Just A Minute (which unexpectedly, to me at least, returned last night with Paul Merton at the helm).
/Tuesday Ten/415/Senses Working Overtime/Sight
Just over two years ago, I asked for suggestions around songs involving the senses. Needless to say, this ended up being a gargantuan thread, with the easy decision made to split it out.

This has been an unusual one, that I’ve tried to write a few times and shelved. Sometimes you have inspiration, sometimes…you don’t. So I left it for a few months, and returned to it last week to pick up the thread again, and this time? It worked out, so here are ten songs about spying […]

It was notable for a few reasons, not least how long it is since he last toured (with Mansun), and how good the show […]
/Tuesday Ten/277/Here Comes The Flood (Environmental Songs)
This Friday, what was potentially unthinkable (and very unlikely indeed) a year ago will happen – Donald Trump gets inaugurated as 45th President of the United States of America.
/Countdown/1980s/Tracks /40-21
I actually started this 80s rundown a couple of years back, but life and other things have rather got in the way. So, a little bit of spare time has allowed me to get this finished. Without further ado, then, let’s get on with it.
/Tuesday Ten/159/Fire
After finally seeing the Olympic Torch Relay last week – amongst the enormous crowds in the City of London on Thursday morning – as well as the spectacular finale to the opening ceremony with a seriously clever way to light the Olympic Flame in the stadium, not to mention the sad news of a colleague […]
