  The 80s had some good music didn’t it. Now has some excellent music too, though, but we had a good 80s, well I did at art college, then as a pro photographer etc. #TOTP

  These were the times of super high taxation for the successful pop star, so Rod (I’ve told you this lots of times) Stewart was ‘sailing’ crossing the Atlantic to avoid it, meanwhile David Bowie took the train all over Europe and residing in Berlin, for the same reasons #TOTP

  The time I met and had a good long chat with Les McKeown in the shop I bought my iBook (and he his Mac) and my wife had no idea who he was, roller mania obviously hadn’t penetrated 70s Spanish Town Jamaica #TOTP

  This year I’d left the UK and was at school in Lae, Papua New Guinea, so hadn’t kept up with the stupid charts of Blighty #TOTP

  At one time I used to have a Roland MSQ700, I think I actually had two - for some reason, and I vastly under-used them, so let them go. If one of them were a Jupiter 8, it’d have been more useful (they were made with the Jupiter 8 in mind because of the DCB bus on the back) #TOTP

  This is another one of those “not quite in this reality, just to one side of it” songs, and also, is it fast, is it slow, it’s both at the same time #TOTP

  Back in the 90s I used to freelance with a bloke who knew lots of famous people’s birthdays, he’d do this with Paul Daniel’s on his radio show, and if you gave him your birthday he’s say the name of someone famous with that birthday, for me he’d always say “Don Johnson” I’d say “I know” (now it turns out same as Lady Leshurr, Paul Kaye (Dennis Pennis)) #TOTP

  The “Workstation” synth was probably the bad thing to happen to digital synths, by 2000 all the new synths were utterly boring (And yes I had an SY77 back on the cusp of the 80s to 90s, which was a ‘workstation’) #TOTP
