Work Anthems That Still Hit Hard – The songs that power you through the day

Thursday can feel like a bit of a slog. Close enough to Friday to see it, but still with meetings, deadlines, school runs and errands to tick off. And that is where the right song makes all the difference. For Gen X, work anthems were forged in the 80s and 90s. These were not background tracks. They were full volume, desk drumming, sing it like nobody is listening moments. Maybe it is the punchy confidence of Bon Jovi that still […]

Avon and Somerset Police said the officer, known as Sergeant X, used the method on most shifts in April and May last year. She admitted placing a corner of the frame on the keyboard so the laptop would not enter sleep mode during personal difficulties.

Britpop at Its Peak – When the nation picked a side

If you were around in the mid 90s, you will remember this clearly. It was not just about the music. It was about identity. Attitude. Allegiance. You were either in one camp or the other. The summer of 1995 became the moment everything exploded. Oasis released Roll With It. Blur dropped Country House. The so called Battle of Britpop dominated headlines, breakfast telly and playground debates. Even people who did not normally follow the charts had an opinion. For many […]

Before Streaming: How We Discovered New Music

Before algorithms, personalised playlists and instant downloads, discovering new music took effort. And that is exactly what made it special. For Gen X, new music often arrived through the radio first. You would hear a track once and spend the rest of the week hoping it would be played again so you could hit record on your cassette deck at just the right moment. If you were lucky, the presenter kept quiet over the intro. If not, you lived with […]

The School Run Soundtrack

The songs that defined our teenage years If you were a teenager in the late 80s or 90s, the school run had a soundtrack. It might have been your mum’s Fiesta with the volume already up, your mate’s battered Nova with one working speaker, or your own pride and joy once you finally passed your test. Either way, the music mattered. This was the era of recording songs off the radio and praying the presenter did not talk over the […]

John Davidson MBE, a campaigner with severe Tourette's syndrome, has spoken out after calling out a racial slur at the BAFTAs, saying he is "deeply mortified".
