Nick Grimshaw is doing an excellent show this morning to honour Bowie. The music choices are spot on.

Has anyone else noticed the Paul Daniels sample on the new Mobb Depp album? I always thought the Wizbit theme was a big influence on hip hop #musicsky

Great night Pete. Mike was lovely and funny and clearly a fan of the band he was in. It also reminded me of the time I saw Julian and someone called him a pretentious c***. His response was to jump in to the audience, find the offender and threaten to lick them!

Fantastic evening listening to Mike Joyce talk about his time with The Smiths. What a warm and funny guy. Can’t wait to read the book.

@petepaphides.bsky.social just read the Ted Chippington piece and enjoyed it. Made me think of my favourite part of the King Rocker film they arrange an interview with him and he doesn’t turn up, they leave that part in and just show an old interview instead. Very Ted.

How far do you think hip hop has come on since you met Snoop to discuss sexism in a lot of the lyrics?

For a moment all is right with the world ❤️

Stevie, the Green Cross Code and Funkadelic. Solid values to live by #music

You’ve already upset the radio police 10 minutes in to the show. Rock n roll!

Get yourself to the @selfesteem.music-social.com shows if you can. Amazing (supported by Moonchild Sanelly too!)

Definitely 👍

The underrated one in that run of albums. I love it.

You want some fackin’ tea do ya???

The latest @needlemythology.bsky.social release. I love the love they show for their releases #music

There’s a certain type of hip hop that sounds brilliant on hot days. This is just that type.

The show tonight is giving off the vibe of being in the coolest New York club circa 1971 (I’m not though, I’m in the front room perusing through the New Statesman)

This is a really lovely chat Pete. So insightful and gently funny.

Wonderful day in Brum looking at all the tributes #ozzy #blacksabbath #music #birmingham

Just me and the man responsible for This Is What She’s Like #music #dexys

Gunge slathered?GRUNGE slathered more like!

And if the answers up the arse I’ll give you the cash myself!

Can’t wait to watch. That theme tune though. Needs to be spoken in the same sentences as Kendrick with that flow.

RIP Sly

Lovely it is too!

New @needlemythology.bsky.social release arrived today. A Journey with the Montgolfier Brothers. Gorgeous sounds and added bonus of a signed postcard which I wasn’t expecting. What a lovely label and band ❤️

@dankackroyd.bsky.social definitely your birthday.

👍 Good. I think he was on to something.

It was a bit blue! I don’t want the show getting taken off the airwaves.

I do hope Michael shares his theory on Leo Sayer’s When I Need You as discussed at your Broken Greek show in Brum all those years ago!

Gonna sound really grumpy here, but I just do not understand the appeal of this song. I think 1997 is one of the worst years in music #totp
