I think I’ll move over here into the snug, warm comfort zone that is the ‘Spill. Not quite sure why Ms K (not you Tracy!) has chosen to view me as public enemy number one, but there you go. Takes all sorts, as they say…Anyway, that little disturbance aside, it’s been a great week on RR – best theme for weeks, imho, inspiring many quality recommendations. Here’s a playlist featuring some of my own noms including Common People which I was just pipped to by magicman – I suspect there was no more than a nano-second in it but sometimes that’s the difference between victory and defeat. And on Marconius7’s magnificent website, as in life itself, no-one ever remembers those who came second.
Not, of course, that RR is purely about getting your name on the A-List – heaven forefend – but it’s nice to see your moniker in lights from time to time and as I’m still a Fitzpatrick virgin (so to speak) I’m now pinning my hopes for future success on the unlikely combined shoulders of Peter Sarstedt, Dean Friedman and, everyone’s favourite East London communist jangly indie-popsters, McCarthy.
There are also contributions here from Shack, Squeeze, The Arctic Monkeys, Lloyd Cole, The Libertines, The Monochrome Set and The Divine Comedy. Hopefully, there's something there for everyone. My aim, as always, is to please …

Two details; what clue makes you think K is a Ms?
It never occurred to me.
and could you add the artist's names to the titles, I've no idea who's playing what and with this topic I need to, thanks...
@ goneforeign - I've added the names of the artists - should have done that from the start, I suppose.
A number of comments and clues - notably:
That comment in the intro; 'the inherent ridiculousness that we're shaped by the waxing and waning of the Moon' can only have been written by a man.
I may be wrong but both tincanman and magicman have referred to kepler as 'she'...
It's pretty clear that you're getting it in the neck for being rude about astrology.
I may not be the most appropriate person to make this sort of remark, given that the sour atmosphere that developed in the 'history' thread was largely my fault, but I do feel that things have become extremely tetchy on RR for a couple of weeks running now. People getting cross about the theme, people getting cross about the people getting cross, people having yet another go at JAP. Okay, conflict and contradiction are inherent in the idea of class, at least when used in a strict Marxist sense, and astrology is always getting to annoy some people, but hospitals?
I'm off for a couple of weeks, so maybe everything will have settled down by the time I get back. Take care, y'all.
@ Abahachi - I think you're right. It's amazing how much you can tell about a person from their post history!
