Dan Pop-o-matic
Mostly retired DJ at Pop-o-matic and Got To Give It Up. 1/3 of popshow promoters Macho Music Is Stupid. Also quite keen on horror and craft beer. He/him.
- In love with the band Music City, and their 70s power pop stylings. They covered "Surrender" and "Is She Really Going Out With Him" and didn't disgrace themselves.
- Happy #LetterboxdFriday! Time to post your #LastFourWatched 📲

- HARDWARE and HOLLOW MAN may be my least favourite double bill I've ever watched for Evolution of Horror homework, but the chat between @mikemuncer.bsky.social and @daddydisco.bsky.social is still fascinating. Strength of the podcast I guess!
- Me a minute ago: typical NHS, running late. Call me in for my appointment already! Me now: Or after Smooth Radio finish playing "Better The Devil You Know" please.

- It's been pissing it down for 24 hours now. I've got a hospital appointment! Buck your ideas up man!
- If I ever fail to get a song by this act in one I shall quit doing @britpopple.bsky.social Britpopple #1310 🔊🟩⬜️⬜️⬜️⬜️⬜️ #Britpopple #Heardle @Britpopple www.britpopple.uk
- Rewatching HOLLOW MAN (glares at @mikemuncer.bsky.social), and feels weird now that Elizabeth Shue is credited above Kevin Bacon.
- Using the whole bar when buying a drink instead of forming a long, single file queue.

- Ooooooooh!
- Reposted by Dan Pop-o-maticThere's two main reasons there's a segment of society against UBI 1. THOSE people, CERTAIN people will get FREE THINGS!!!! THAT I AM PAYING FOR!!!! This thinking is wrong and bad. If one truly believes that...more money is being spent on all the other bullshit that doesn't help. 2. Divorce.
- #ClassicAlbumThursday Small Faces - Ogden's Nut Gone Flake First half is where all the famous songs from it live and I was mostly familiar with it. The second, Stanley Unwin-powered concept album half is a bit too quirky for me, though some of the songs are still good.

- Why is raining on one side of my flat and sleeting so heavily it may as well be snow on the other? I don't think weather fronts are that precise.

- They're replacing him with AI? Makes sense.

- Didn't realise that THE BONE TEMPLE had bombed a bit at the box office. I reckon the fault lies with 28 YEARS LATER there, because if the audience I saw it with were any indication, people found that film boring as fuck. Why would they rush to watch the sequel?
- Who had "Charli XCX starting in a remake of FACES OF DEATH" on their 2026 bingo card?
- Reposted by Dan Pop-o-maticI'm not certain what would be funnier, a lot of empty US stadiums during the World Cup, or the inevitable chants from England and Scotland (and other) fans detailing, to the tune of some well known traditional song, all the ways in which the US President is a cunt.
- Bounced off RESIDENT EVIL: VILLAGE pretty quickly. SH2 REMAKE may have ruined survival horror games for me for a while.
- Still nope. They don't call this franchise "the graveyard of careers" for nothing (or at all).

- Starting a MALCOLM IN THE MIDDLE rewatch. That show was funny from the start eh?
- This podcast is making me discover a fair few new-to-me Hammer gems (like CAPTAIN CLEGG), and is going to prove ruinous for my physical media budget.
- Accidentally read the comments to this, and apparently the consensus is that AVOWED and OUTER WORLDS 2 are bad games. Weird and wrong.
- The comments section for podcasts on Spotify being rife with bigotry. How tediously predictable. Love how if you submit a report you get a warning saying that repeated reports where they find no issue will result in you losing your comment privileges. Clearly trying to put you off reporting owt.
- Three months of Mubi for a quid? Go on then.
- Just remembered that PRIMATE had "360" by Charli XCX on the soundtrack, which is another reason to like that film.
- I think HARDWARE might be the worst film I've watched for Evolution of Horror homework. Yeeeesh. Still, got to do HOLLOW MAN this week as well, so it may not hold the crown for long.
