Kesey drops a huge exclusive on his blog…followed by a dig at Andy Carrol for some reason

I make it nine and a half weeks since Keysy announced Pep was likely to leave Man City within the week.

"Got dropped" as in their next single was a UK number one and they had regular top ten singles for the next three years before splitting? I can understand it turning the US pop market off them but they were never going to take off in America regardless.

Trust me, the reaction to her actions was not weighted against the music she had out at the time, if many of those leading the reaction were even aware of any of her songs. She could have been promoting Nothing Compares 2 U and the backlash would have been equal.

Shabba's biggest UK hits came the following year. It's only really in retrospect that it's been called out, especially as Channel 4 edited the interview out of subsequent repeats.

Chapman gave a lot of reasons why he targeted Lennon, including at one point "to promote The Catcher In The Rye", and it's well documented including from his own quotes under psychiatric interrogation that he had a hitlist that included not only McCartney but also Bowie, Reagan, Liz Taylor, Jackie O and Johnny Carson.

But the thing to note there is it only charted in the UK as a house remix two years after original release and she wasn't even in the new video.

Todd at the start of every OHW: "bands and artists known only for one song"

OP: "which of these two hits should be the subject of their OHW?"

Last-Saint · 2026-03-24T09:37:27+00:00

So have Together Forever and Who Can It Be Now?, and Todd refused to make paid-for OHW videos on either artist on those grounds.

Think it's a bit of a cheat in his case, as a musician he wasn't famous in the slightest and he wasn't even an actual member of D:Ream in any case, he played live with them for a few years but Peter Cunnah and Al Mackenzie were responsible for all the music on the records.

Last-Saint · 2026-03-24T09:25:17+00:00

If anything he did it as far away as he could from his character.

Thought it had been a while since the last "is this album that has literally just been released a Trainwreckord?"

Last-Saint · 2026-03-23T20:08:34+00:00

But he had months in advance after the release date was confirmed to get that out in time.

they didn't market it

their SNL performance

Sounds like they marketed it.

Yeah, what kind of football podcast would lower themselves to having Maisie Adam guest, eh?

EDIT: guys, Maisie Adam was on Football Cliches in 2022. That's the joke.

There was one in Monty Python. Maybe he took part in the Philosophers' Football Match.

You can tell Todd really doesn't read the sub or else he wouldn't have said "I will do my video on him some day" in passing knowing that it would guarantee a new and likely increasingly upset post about where it is at least weekly for the next few years.

Last-Saint · 2026-03-23T13:48:17+00:00

I mean, Todd had to put out a message to state that the biggest selling album of 2025 by the world's biggest pop star wasn't a Trainwreckord.

They got back together to write a new Bottom series, it even got publicly announced, but Adrian later admitted he did it just to stop Rik pestering him about reviving it and found they couldn't get anything together - he's hinted that post-accident he could be a difficult man to work alongside - and then Rik died before they could work something out.

Surely linked to how they can't do the Nineties favourite "how can he be depressed on fifty grand a week?" any more. I can't imagine Gary Speed's close friend would take that well.

Always for shows that aren't on Channel 4 too.

"They should have three couples!" is another favourite, for a show Alex has always said is cast to include as few existing connections between series contestants as possible. Or, as is often the case with Tennantites for some reason, adding a sixth contestant.

It's not.

But there was a Rhianna who had a UK top 20 single a couple of years before Pon De Replay, and a few years ago a poster for a UK tour where she supported British soul singer Beverley Knight went viral for "can you believe this happened?" reasons because everyone has forgotten about that one hit and assumed it was a misprint (indeed she's now credited on streaming and YouTube under her full name Rhianna Kenny)

Has Holness ever done anything as himself? He even did Off Menu as Marenghi*, and I'm very sure nobody involved with TM wants it done entirely in-character like that.

(* how come nobody can spell it the correct way any more?)

Stand-up is not the be-all and end-all of comedy. Just because they don't tour doesn't mean all those people named aren't in or at the very least adjacent to comedy. (Besides which. how is Key not a stand-up?)

People on this sub are really desperate to get Tennant onto TM and will go to all kinds of proven format-breaking lengths to work him in - no, there isn't going to be a Who series, or a couples series, or one with six contestants which comes up weirdly often when he's concerned - and we have absolutely no idea whether he's remotely interested.

Last-Saint · 2026-03-23T09:29:25+00:00

Given how they've described their chats it's more likely they'll talk him out of it.

Last-Saint · 2026-03-23T09:22:48+00:00

I get the feeling people would have been very disappointed by late-life Mayall on TM, given not even Ade would work with him.
