Shit you just learned (probably from the internet.)

Bob Mortimer was Jarvis Cockers legal representative when Cocker was arrested at the Brit Awards for mooning Michael Jackson.

Maybe I’m the last person who didn’t know this. Anyway, Monica Barbaro, the actress who played Joan Baez opposite Timothee Chalamet’s Dylan, was also, when she was very much younger, the woman in the legendary but oh-so-dangerous Youtube vid It’s Not About The Nail. (If you haven’t seen it then think hard before watching in the company of your significant other.)

Just learned that uploading a track listing image (a photo of the record on my turntable) into ChatGPT and asking for the key of each song so I can play along actually yields pretty much perfect results. Wow.
Why haven’t I thought of this before?

Thats neat, although it wouldn’t do a thing for my ability to play along. Afraid its all the wrong notes, in the wrong order in my case.

Might be funny to try though …

I have quite a rare surname, and on the odd occasions I’ve Googled it in my life, it turns out I’ve been distantly related to the few matching results it’s showed up (all in the US bar a few in Norfolk).

Today however, it shows that there’s a large award-winning foodstuff distributor bearing my name (on cursory inspection, no familial ties I can discern), based in Spalding! I always knew @Mrs_Maureen_OPinion and I were kindred spirits. Now we’re closer than I thought :smiling_face_with_three_hearts: / :scream:

ā€œJosh FreshLincā€ certainly has an unusual ring to it…

You’ll be relieved to know I’m from Hampshire originally, so little-to-no chance of any actual shared heritage beyond a geographic coincidence :ok_hand:

Unsurprisingly it’s only me and you playing so far. Visionaries are on the decline.

Think it should be fb and instagram as well. Not sure how Ritchie’s clients will take it when he wins*
