From the off, this is compulsive listening. The bass and drums building up before leaving a gap for the guitar will never get old for me.

The weekend before Paddy's Day, so I thought I should go with an Irish one.
It's The Commitments for this week's #FridayFilmPicks.
A brilliant film, that will never get old. It's hilarious, yet authentic. And I still can't believe that Andrew Strong was only 16 when this was filmed. 🤯

Fast, manic verses filled with rapid-fire lyrics against a soaring melodic chorus with lovely harmonies.
I love it all.

Sites like Bessborough must be protected and memorialised.
What went on there is deeply shameful, but we cannot let that past be built over.
We must acknowledge our history, no matter how inconvenient it is.
Join survivors outside the Dáil next Wednesday to call for a halt to this development.

Great commentary on celebrity / Hollywood culture and the illusion of fame.

Apparently the girl responsible was asked why she did it and she replied “I don’t like Mondays." 😯

Great song.
Nothing complex instrumentally in this one, instead it’s all hanging on the excellent vocal melody.
I love the chorus harmonies too.
I think it’s about addiction and recovery.

Remote working matters as our costs rise: With oil prices increasing as the Iran war continues, pushing workers back into daily commuting risks piling more costs onto already stretched households, writes Labour's George Lawlor.

I think I make a mess of the numbers every month!
Counting down from 15 means No. 8 always falls on the 8th day, then I follow it the next day with No. 9 - even though it should be No 7!!
The absolute cheek of me trying to teach my 4 year old how to count. 😂
