After a Hall of Fame radio career in America, I am back home in Britain for Act Two. Co-host of the “A Cup Of Tea And A Chat” podcast with @alliemackay
- I emailed you in 2002 and didn’t hear back. This explains a lot.
- Vinyl records explained for those who need it. 🙄
- My most-listened to album ever and the one I have bought the most times throughout the years. Vinyl, eight-track, cassette, CD, iTunes, expanded editions, remastered, etc. Saw the 35th anniversary tour too where he played the whole thing and it was fabulous.
- 50 years ago today. Released today 6th January 1976, one of the greatest live albums ever "Peter Frampton Comes Alive!" #AlbumOfTheDay #70s #ClassicRock #MusicSky
- Now a forgotten artist but I loved this, I’d Love You To Want Me, How Can I Tell Her, Don’t Expect Me To Be Your Friend and several others. Great pull, Ken.
- #70sTop30 (#1 Billboard Easy Listening Hits) Song 5 Lobo Me And You And A Dog Named Boo Written by Kent LaVoie Produced by Phil Gernhard 1971 Big Tree #1 on May 15 + 22, 1971 One of the bigger solo male singers of the early 70s with his first big pop hit. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYZ8tJYDpKU
- Just went to a car wash and noticed everyone who worked there was too young to know the song. Still a banger. #disco youtube.com/watch?v=Hvf0...
- I propose a Dry January on people posting their Wordle, Connections and Strands scores. Because why. Do I have a second?
- I lived in Seattle for many years and barely killed anyone. Very interesting theory though… 🤔
- What might account for the abrupt rise and equally abrupt fall, between the 1960s and the turn of the century, of the “golden age” of serial killing? And why were so many of these brutes from the area around Seattle’s Puget Sound? newyorkermag.visitlink.me/GM5SKR
- I don't care a lick about this woman but do care you've turned the Isle of Wight into the Isle of White for some reason.
- Ain't no party like a Sluggo party! 🥳
- Thank YOU, Bill. I wish your list could go on forever. Great stuff. I never would know "Zodiacs" or so many others without this series.
- Oh no! I've rarely met anyone as passionate about music as Howie. was. He was a joy to work with in all my years as a radio music director. Such a smart and funny man too.
- My favourite singer, Dean Martin, died exactly 30 years ago today. Fun fact: Other Christmas Day deaths include George Michael, Eartha Kitt, Charlie Chaplin, W.C. Fields, and James Brown. Cool it, Santa.
- So happy for you, Perry but it's a real loss for the industry to lose your perspective. I'm sorry we never got to work together. Enjoy your those books and ballgames, my friend!
- Here’s my last column, a farewell review of what passes for my career. I’m done. If you’ve read my column over the last 30 or so years, thank you. I’ll go now. barrettmedia.com/2025/12/22/t...
- Thank you for this and all the brilliant work you do, James. I’m delighted to be a Patron. Happy Christmas to you and yours.

- @eddytemplemorris.bsky.social I've had you on the radio the last hour while doing chores and you are killing it, my friend. Great content, fantastic tunes. Really have enjoyed it.
- I love Kylie and her music but this is an infuriatingly awful song.
- Will it be a first Number 1 in 22 years for Kylie Minogue ? 👊 And not just any Number 1... the coveted Christmas Number 1! 💪 🎅 officialcharts.com/chart-news/kylie-mi… #XMAS
- Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame inductee Meg White, our generation's reclusive Bobbie Gentry, turns 51 today.
- Someone's looking for a job....I'd hire you! 🤣
- I like saving airchecks for historical purposes.. and to hear how hard I tried on air. Here is today’s 9-12 shift on Triple M Melbourne 📻 on.soundcloud.com/85wRm4FgRio9...
- If I miss anything most about living in America it’s probably TCM. And they don’t even have a streaming option. Fingers crossed this changes that … 👀 @tcmtv.bsky.social
- ICYMI from last night: WB Discovery confirmed that TCM will be part of the studios & streaming division that Netflix is trying to buy. Here's looking at you, Ted? www.vulture.com/article/tcm-...
- Mine seemed unlikely too. 🤔
- I searched last years’s Top 40 UK most streamed Christmas songs and was saddened to find “The Chipmunk Song” no longer makes the cut. We used to be a proper country. 😞
