The only downside is having to admit you know what Flo Rida sounds like

Funeral is a very high bar though.

Land of Make Believe kind of stood out a bit at the time as it was smarter than it first appeared to be. Probably their least ordinary #1.

Garbage - Get Out of my Face AKA Bad Kitty Eville - Get With Me Jesus and the Zealots - The Soughing Toy Parlour - Say Something

Garbage for me. Also liking this week - Eville - Get With Me Jesus and the Zealots - The Soughing Toy Parlour - Say Something

A curious episode with much to admire. Looked great, interesting idea, well cast and performed. Decent enough script and this Doctor finally starting to feel like there's some depth to him, somewhere. Yet somehow it all just felt a bit... lifeless. A big let down after the last two cracking episodes and less divisive than the first two of the series but all a bit nothing. Still a big improvement on the majority of Gatwa's first series.

Properly paying attention? About '79 I guess. Cool for Cats by Squeeze was the first single I ever bought with my own money so that might be around the time. Mum would always have the radio on and the charts on Sunday were required listening. Between that and an older brother who was heavily into music, I kind of started young. By the mid 80s the Indie chart was essential too. When did I lose interest? Around about 2007 or 2008 I not long ago noticed that I didn't recognise nearly all of the UK numbers ones since 2010 so I made a playlist to listen to them all as it a quiz night blank spot. Can't say that I missed much. I still check the run down and make a point of seeking out anything that sounds intriguing but don't ever pay that much attention and even the Indie chart has been redundant for about 30 years

In 2011 the Glee Cast had 51 UK hit singles. That'll take some beating.

Been a bit late to this as I had no idea the results were tonight. Thanks to everyone who gave Desperate Journalist some points, especially @jimwatts for the big marks! I actually thought it would really struggle in this as it's not typical of the usual genres in UP but glad it's doing ok.

Amanda Palmer, anyone?

Orson - No Tomorrow

Skunk Anansie this week

As far as I understand it from others, you can ride onboard with any of the 20 drivers but you can't pick which camera on the car to view, that's decided by the live feed and it switches between the 4 or so cameras on each car during the race. All of the cameras are recording simultaneously but because of the huge amount of data being recorded it is too much to transmit all cameras as options to the live feed at once. However, all of the footage is sent to the stewards in case they need to review it. Although the footage comes in on a slight delay which is why sometimes they take time to review it. At some point after the race is completed all of the footage is available but it is down to Formula One to decide what they release to the world. Edit - Found the Verstappen onboard from lap one -

The onboard camera for Max was showing the rear view during the first couple of corners. That's why they didn't have the forward view yet. Sky can only get one view from each car at a time for the live feed but the stewards are sent all views (on a delay), so they can make decisions. They will later release these to the wider public.

Decent race for a bit. Piastri did everything he needed to and Norris did all the errors that he was expected to. I have to wonder if Lando will ever start to use his brain. If he does he has all the tools to be a champion. Max drove very well and Russell was solid. Ferrari were too slow to make decisions again. Othereise, roll on the European leg.

Nothing suspicious. Only a certain number of onboards are available to media companies such as Sky because of limitations on bandwidth essentially. It is available to the stewards and will be released in due course

Former F1 race winner, commentator and all round nice guy Jochen Mass has passed.

Brundle commented at one point that after switching to slicks, Tsunoda was 2 seconds faster than Piastri in Sector 1 alone. As Dobbo says it's all in the maths. Norris was very lucky and owes Lawson a pint or two.

That's quite impressive to list all those great Swedish artists and not include a single Metal band in there. Sweden has a long tradition of producing important and groundbreaking Metal acts too. Think of acts like Bathory, Meshuggah, Arch Enemy, Candlemass, In Flames, Sabaton, Opeth, Therion, Amon Amarth and of course Yngwie Malmsteen. All have had a huge influence on the genre

I'd be interested to know what George Russell's plan was in going out so early for only one run. Mercedes had the potential to lock out the front row.

10 more years at Miami 😭

Finally an episode that delivers on all fronts and gives Gatwa a chance to show what he can do with strong writing. A well crafted sequel to Midnight that neither takes anything away from it or over exposes the entity involved. And if you're going to rip off something - you might as well steal from Aliens, one of sci-fi's all time classics. Only one minor quibble was the music in places, didn't quite feel right, specifically the flight (as in run away) sequence. And even the tears felt earned this time. A proper classic.

Despite this Sonnet did chart, albeit a lowly #74 but it got through on imports
