Popmaster today, three-in-ten was......, you know who. Apparently there's 18 hit singles. I believe they count top 40 singles only.
For info non-brits, popmaster is radio pop quiz. If you win your round you get to try and remember three hits by whoever they choose, in ten seconds. My mare Nige was on once. Gave me a name check. Yay.

I could have a go, but probably not. Definitely not in ten seconds. Apparently people are strange was a hit twice. Learn something new every day and all that

I got to fourteen and googling didn't seem like 18 top 40 hits. No mention of Lovers on the run, which I thought made the top 40 ? Maybe Mr Bruce has different source. For non- Brits Mr Bruce hosts the radio show. Where as Mr Brian provides this wonderful platform

yeah not too sure myself either. Sometimes they include collaborations and maybe solo stuff so not sure how they count. Just looking at the discography on here and Mr Bs included a single - presumably Mac solo - of Summer Wind with the fun loving criminals, which I didn't know existed. Wasn't that used for a whiskey advert or something. Either way, you only need three to triumph,. I think I'd sooner have the tee shirt.

They’ve finally made it, alright. Saw a few posts online saying the first USA show of the 40 Years of Magical of Songs was in shambles. Several people said they stopped 2-3 times for 20 minutes each and the show ended with Mac projectile vomiting when leaving the stage after KM. Bunnymen management came in trying to do damage control on Twitter but it didn’t go over well. The wheels are falling off the bus.

Setlist

Going Up
Show of Strength
All That Jazz
Flowers
Rescue
Bring On the Dancing Horses
Over the Wall
All My Colours (Zimbo)
Seven Seas
Bedbugs and Ballyhoo
Nothing Lasts Forever / Walk on the Wild Side

Second Set
Villiers Terrace / Roadhouse Blues
Lips Like Sugar

Third Set
The Killing Moon

I give it another week before they’re back. Home before the postcards.

Sad that the news is out now
Sad, suppose we can't turn back now

So bad about us
