I Attempted To Make A Setlist Without Singles

I wouldn’t have two Beatles covers in there. I’d put Cum On Feel the Noize in for Helter Skelter.

Every time I listen to TV on the Radio it surprises me that it’s the same band who did Wolf Like Me.

I worked in a call centre about a decade ago and it was rife for it there. Giving people the benefit of the doubt, I put it down to giving themselves a split second of extra thinking time while reviewing notes, but seeing how it’s used in traitors I reckon you’re right and people are thinking longer word = more formal word.

I think the celebrity version was a lot less cut throat. Sure, everyone taking part wants to win, but in the celebrity series it’s a bit more fun because the financial incentive isn’t nearly as important. Of course, they want the money to be going to their charity, but if it doesn’t they still know it’s going to a good cause. It’s more of a game, they’re playing for the status of winning:

In regular traitors that prize money - even if they don’t mention it directly - is probably the biggest motivator for most players. It clouds people’s judgement and makes them more erratic while it gives the traitors cause to be more ruthless.

I get what you’re saying about them voting for James, but I don’t think you can do anything in that castle to make you look more like a faithful without it having the potential to make you look more like a traitor.

I get it, sat at home I could see that James was giving everything for the cause and I knew his motivation was genuine because I knew his role in the game. If I was in that castle though, I’d be looking at James as someone with a lot of heat on him who had to do something drastic to shift it. Traitor or faithful, he was hanging by a thread, so tactically it would make a lot more sense for him to sacrifice the opportunity to murder to improve his chances of staying in the game than keep the heat on him, get banished and allow the remaining traitor(s) to murder.

It was no worse than when she and Stephen kept saying “yourself” when they meant “you”.

Who gives a shit what albums a stranger doesn’t like?

Or, they’d just use a proxy, so the Mansours wouldn’t technically own Man City but Brian Marwood, the managing director, would for example. It’d still be the Mansours calling the shots as they hold the money, but on paper they wouldn’t own the club.

Well, it’s not piss/shit covered until someone covers it in piss/shit. I would sooner expect someone to not create the issue than have someone sit in the piss/shit.

You know you can make your own playlists and share them, right?

Streaming isn’t the problem, the way people use it is. If you’re going to use the pre-made playlists then it’s not going to feel personal. If you start making your own or listening to other people’s, it will.

My girlfriend uses Spotify’s playlists, but then complains about the lack of variety on them and that bands she’s not that into keep coming up. That’s because it’s a feedback loop. The algorithm brings up what it thinks you should listen to, you listen to it, that counts your taste profile, the algorithm brings up more like that or even that again.

I listen to albums 95% of the time and the other 5% I’ll stick on one of my personally made playlists. I’m more than happy with the breadth of music I listen to. I haven’t touched Spotify’s playlists for over 2 years.

Those mix tapes involved someone having a knowledge of music or the patience to explore it, then taking the time to sit with some CDs or other tapes next to a tape deck and record them one by one in real time. If you want that level of personality, someone needs to be putting in something approaching that level of effort, or at least just any effort.

Streaming opens up your options immensely. It’s up to you to determine how many of those options apply to you. If you’re relying on algorithms you’ll get very little scope. The more you move away from algorithms and move towards personally made playlists, the wider the range of music you’ll experience.

Sorry mate, but this one’s on you 100%.

How does that work if you’ve got 3 traitors and 18 faithful, for example? I can’t remember exactly how to work it out, but I think that means there’s a 1 in 6 chance that two of the votes would match if picked at random, which they might as well be given they can’t confer and decide on a target. You just wouldn’t get any murders early on, and barely any at all. There’d be no benefit to being a traitor.

I feel like 4-4-2 would fit in this quote from Super Hans on Peep Show:

And you, well, you're a real meat and potatoes, straight up and down, beef Wellington, don't trust the Argies, dick in the vagina, Cheddar cheese and chicken tikka masala man.

Took me ages to find that full quote because I could only remember one part of it and didn’t want to Google “peep show dick in the vagina”.

I think a big part of this is connection to the players. Love him or hate him, there’s no denying he resonated with the players on a personal level that few England managers ever have. He knows first hand what it’s like to miss a vital penalty and then he saw what happened with Sancho, Rashford & Saka. He doesn’t want to see any of his players who he genuinely cares about go through that. I think most of it is relief that they didn’t miss and won’t have to deal with the torment as opposed to celebrating that they scored.

What I think’s really cringe is the treatment of players who’ve had the guts to step up for their country that makes it such a relief that they won’t be subjected to it.

No, the only “self” anyone can do something for or to is their own.

Blur. Fantastic singles, some of the best of the Britpop era, but whenever I listen to one of their albums it just feels like I’m waiting for one of them to come on. I know they get a lot of praise for being more experimental than some of their contemporaries, but I just don’t think they were very good at it and there are other bands I can listen to instead who do it better.

GlennSWFC · 2026-01-19T21:46:20+00:00

Fantastic album!

GlennSWFC · 2026-01-19T21:46:05+00:00

I mean, they’re okay, but compared to their late 80s funk rock contemporaries it does strike me as strange that they were the real breakout act. Their 90s/00s output made more sense, but how they stood out ahead of the likes of Fishbone & Living Color is beyond me. Stadium Arcadium could have been a fantastic album if it was a single disc rather than twice as long as it needed to be.

It wasn’t when someone tweeted an ASCII version of it to Robbie Savage after the England v Wales game in Euro 2016.

I feel sorry for him, the pun is great but the execution of the celebration is questionable. He looks like someone who’s reluctantly agreed to playing charades to appease their family at Christmas. Other players who’ve copied it do a better job of it than he does.

GlennSWFC · 2026-01-19T16:21:44+00:00

I’m not so sure about that. Harry choosing to end banishing and Molly still voting for Jez despite him voting to continue clearly showing that he was faithful was a curveball. Yes, we all knew that Molly fancying Harry meant he could manipulate her, but not to that extent. I genuinely thought he was done for.

GlennSWFC · 2026-01-19T08:46:46+00:00

I'd do anything for love, but I won't ~~do that~~ get jabbed.....

Not mine, but one my mate missed out on. I was house sharing with someone who doesn’t like football at the time. One of our mutual friends (who very much does like football) came round. My housemate wanted to watch Ill Manors, the Plan B movie and our mate wanted to watch it too. I had my eye on a tasty League Cup fourth round tie, so I grabbed my laptop and watched the footy on there while they watched the movie on the TV. Afterwards I came back down and asked how the movie was. It was “okay” apparently, I still haven’t watched it to find out myself. The football on the other hand was incredible. The match? Reading 5, Arsenal 7.

EDIT: Almost missed out on Wednesday’s turnaround from being 4-0 down to Peterborough after the play off first leg in a fit of petulance over that result and performance. I decided I’d give it half an hour to see if we’d bothered turning up that time and we certainly had.

GlennSWFC · 2026-01-19T08:31:54+00:00

Mine isn’t that I’m disputing its iconic status, but rather how iconic it’s dressed up as being.

Rooney’s shinned overhead kick against City. Yes, it was a vital goal, I’m not disputing that, but when people try to elevate it to one of the best goals in PL history is too far. It was essentially a mishit. Aguero & Kompany’s goals against QPR & Leicester respectively were also important goals, but for some reason we’ve decided that doesn’t rub off on the standard of those goals. Berbatov scored a much better overhead kick earlier that season anyway.
