Phil's Top 50 songs, 2025 edition
There are so many fantastic songs on that list. One that I'd like to pick out is your favourite from 1983, 'Up The Down Escalator', as it's not well known. I entered 'A Person Isn't Safe Anywhere These Days' from the same album into one of the song contests on here.

My record of the week 60 years ago
9th - 15th December 1965 29. Don't Fight It - Wilson Pickett https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aeNCcGk_Q2o A reasonable follow-up to 'In The Midnight Hour' with good contributions from the horn section and backing singers. 30. Keep On Running - The Spencer Davis Group https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6LVI1gDswg I like this a lot with its distinctive guitar sounds and a mature lead vocal from a 17 years old Steve Winwood. The Birmingham group had three singles peaking from 41-47 before this one which will go all the way to number 1. It's a cover of a reggae song by the Jamaican, Jackie Edwards. 36. My Girl - Otis Redding https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0iPtG_O8w8g The Temptations version only got to number 43 in March but this cover will do much better, reaching number 11. It's the first hit for Otis who sounds great on it but the arrangement is very similar to the original. Record of the week : 2. Day Tripper / We Can Work It Out - The Beatles It has to be this double A side. Day Tripper has that memorable guitar riff but I prefer We Can Work It Out which is more musically complex with the harmonium being used to good effect. This will be the Christmas number 1 and will spend five weeks at the top of the chart.

I think this match will be over today before the lights come on. Australia's batting and bowling has been so much better than England's.

That was a great innings by Joe Root after coming in at 5-2, he finally scores a Test century in Australia. We'll see, when Australia bat, how good England's score of 325-9 is.
