It's the shows without a live audience that really grate; there is a print of M*A*S*H which is excellent, another one with an overlaid laughter track is awful.

The original run of MASH on the BBC was shown without the laugh track. I remember being quite surprised when I was in the USA and saw an episode with canned laughter - definitely much worse. I hadn't even realised that's how the Yanks watched it.

A friend of ours has a couple of his original paintings hanging on her walls.

And yes, they aren’t anything special.

Watched the Brits for the first time in years at the weekend. I'm obviously massively out of touch with modern music and find some of it shockingly bad however i though Sombr was excellent. Never heard of him before then but downloaded his album and really like it. Some of my friends wives with teenage kids try and stay involved with what they're into but unless it's taking my kid to an artist he wants to see that i was already into i find it a little cringeworthy seeing middle aged people at gigs aimed at teenagers.

Only reason I know about Olivia Rodrigo, Sabrina Carpenter, Chappelle Roan and so many more is from my daughters. Actually like quite a lot of it and the tunes get in my head. My Spotify algorithm has detected this!

I've heard of them but couldnt tell you any of their songs. My 18 year old niece is obsessed with Taylor Swift and i mean obsessed, if anyone says they dont like or know much about her it's like you've called her a monkey faced bitch, it's quite weird. Had to endure an few hours of her and her parents making us listen to her with them banging on about how amazing she is. She seems like a nice girl and her music was okay, certainly listenable but nothing that hadnt been done 1000 times before, which of course went down very well when i told them that.

There’s a behind the scenes docuseries about her Eras tour. Does come across as a nice, kind person (of course she had control over it) but is a phenomenal talent. My daughters went but looking at it wouldn’t have minded going myself. Very much a kindness and feel-good mood to it all
