Beer blogging failure. Liker of 60s stuff. Lifter of heavy things.

Among other unusual things, just discovered someone's uploaded Gruey and Bad Boyes to YouTube. Who'd'a thought Gruey was one of Keiran O'Brien's less naughty roles? @franticplanet.bsky.social

My sister is playing the themes to Penny Crayon and Budgie The Little Helicopter to her son in the bath. Bet she'll be putting on Wizbit and Greenclaws next.

Problem with applying for jobs these days is that even if you have many years experience in the field, if you're over 50 and seem a bit "weird", you'll be in the bin. If Burnham wants to get people off UCand PIP, he's going to have to offer employers some incentive to take on the "unusual".

Another girl pop relic of the 60s. Not as accomplished as Glenda Collins' Joe Meek produced version, but it has a charming naivete that cover lacks (compare the versions of "Bobby's Girl" by Marcie Blaine and Susan Maughan respectively).

You'd never know this was the same singer who did "Chanson D'Amour" with Manhattan Transfer. And produced by the guy who did "You're So Vain" by Carly Simon.

Latest thing YouTube has recommended to me (I watch a lot of old TV). I remember it well from back in 1984. It's so disturbing that even @franticplanet.bsky.social wouldn't make a video about it.
