Therapy For Me

If you think getting a bloke in his late 40"s to talk about the stuff going on in his head is difficult...you should try getting him to stop.

W/C 29th July 2024A tough week this week. Not because of anything going on in my immediate orbit, just the unrelenting clamour of everything that is going on in the wider universe.I am not convinced we are making a particularly good job of it at the moment, but in reality that is just because of what has risen to the surface over the last few days. What was important last week, last month, last year is still the same and so we have to keep on going in the face of the forces that wish to divide and

W/C 22nd July 2024Why not start the weekend with a bit of old-school goth rock I hear you say, well even though you never actually asked for it out loud, I am going to bring it to you anyway.The inspiration is St Leonards Tower in Newton Abbot, a hugely impressive building that I saw for the first time this week. Originally part of a gothic-style church (see what I did there) built in the thirteenth century it was also the site where William III declared he would be taking the English Throne in

W/C 15th July 2024This song comes from an album called The Bridge which was released in 1986. By the time it came out I had become a bit of a devotee of Mr Joel, having borrowed most of his back catalogue from the Denman Library in Retford and recorded them onto TDK C90s.The Bridge was the first album of new material I took any interest in, and the tour for the album was the first time I got to see him perform live at the Birmingham NEC the following year.Even though he doesn't consider it to be one

W/C 8th July 2024Of the random things I have done this week I put together a 'kind-of-britpop' mixtape on Spotify, mainly for Josh actually, and I have been enjoying some guitar-drenched nineties bangers as I have been sat behind my screen. Totally independently of that I mentioned Thea Gilmore on this week's Corona Diaries podcast and when I realised I had put Cast on my playlist, I happened to say out loud that I thought Thea's version was my go-to.So I have put links below for both, so you can

Change

Therapy For Me ·

2024/07/06

W/C 1st July 2024Generally speaking it doesn't happen very often.The transition of power in the UK, from one political party to another, has occurred four times in the last 45 years - 1979, 1997, 2010 and now 2024. So any way you look at this, whichever point of view, yesterday was an historic day.And what better way to celebrate than with a lovely punchy, punky little number from The Alarm. The song is called Change, from an album called Change. And incidentally one of the first gigs I went to

W/C 24th June 2024I wonder if I should change the logo for TFM. I have looked at it a couple of times, and even had somebody mock me up some alternatives but never settled on anything I like.The existing one is supposed to be a typewrite style font on some serious grade writing paper, and if you look at it closely it does look like that. It's simple and it's clean. it just doesn't really talk to the styler content of the podcast - but then does that matter?I like the uncluttered nature of it, and

W/C 17th June 2024So here we are, the longest day. I always find this a bit of a strange one if I am being honest, because technically we are now on the downward slope as far as the light is concerned but I never feel at this point that 'summer' has even got out of first gear.The same can be said of the 21st December, because although that is the point when we see the days start to pull out, we equally know that the hardest bit of the winter is still to come.What I can't argue with is that we are

W/C 10th June 2024So the best laid plans and all that.I was up bright and early to record this, because I had to head off to a junior football tournament that we were organising, in fact I may have mentioned it. Anyway I left Mrs.S doing the QC listen and I was hoping to publish it from pitch side.Well that was 8 hours ago, and as you will have worked out I am just getting around to it now. IN the intervening period I have lined a pitch, set up a PA. built some goals, stood in the middle of the road

Remembrance Day

W/C 3rd June 2024I got into Bryan Adams before the Reckless album came out. So before Summer of 69, and before Run To You.I had a friend called Steve Nicholson way back in the day, and we used to hang out and listen to music, and one day he put on the cassette of Cuts Like A Knife. Mind blown.Of course the only reason I have thought back to that moment at 06:43 on a Saturday morning, is because I was trying to come up with a title for an episode that would reference the D-Day celebrations that took

W/C 27th May 2024Whilst I am not a particular fan of Boris Johnson (I know, comes as a shock doesn't it...) I have considerably more time for his brother Jo. Not only did he see through the nonsense of Brexit, he also manages to perfectly articulate why tossing out nonsense like 'National Service' and 'Mickey Mouse degrees' is such a backwards step.I caught this clip on twitter and it is one of the most balanced and intelligent things I have head in a while.Stay safe.Hello - OasisPaul Lesinksi

W/C 20th May 2023Like it or not, some weeks the episode titles do pick themselves.I am trying not to think about the parallels with 1997 too much, but it is getting hard not to at least to believe that if nothing else the outcome will be the same. And if that is going to be the case can we not get there as soon as possible.If you aren't into the political side of TFM then this would definitely be the week to give it a swerve, and I apologise for the overly ramble nature of this week's slice.

W/C 13th May 2024It turns out that I have used Complicated before as an episode title, normally when I realise that I try and find something different - but bearing in mind there are two tie-ins this week, I decided to bend my self-imposed rules slightly.If you are going to fully immerse yourself in my week, then you are going to need to start by navigating to the root cause of the problem which is a page on the JD Sports website after which you are going to have to have a look at a couple of pages

W/C 6th May 2024I love this song, and it is worth the slightly disjointed crowbarring to be able to share it with you this week.TBH I am becoming quite a Tears For Fears fan, they are seriously under-appreciated in the way that say Aha are. Maybe it is something to do with the early pop success that both had, but in both cases there is some serious creative stuff going on.Anyway have a listen and see what you think, I think it's a belter.Stay safe.P.S After the BBC News Theme tune the second best

W/C 29th April 2024If you are a regular listener to TFM you will be familiar with my Saturday morning routine, which invariably involves getting out for a run.For the last six months or so my route on a Saturday takes me the six miles to Coffee Boy, a vibrant little spot just on the outskirts of Huddersfield, located in an old Mini showroom. The run takes me about an hour, in which time Mrs S hauls herself out of bed and heads down to meet me for a brew and to ferry me back home.The problem with all

W/C 22nd April 2024For what it is worth I think Labour are onto a winner with their policy to bring the trains back under Government control. I appreciate that they will never say it is 're-nationalisation' because somehow that word is considered too politically toxic, but the fact is that many people will look at this as a positive.Whilst I have been a firm advocate of Labour not saying too much, too early, about what their vision for the country is, we are getting to the point where they need a

W/C 15th April 2024This one of those songs that I can hear in my head, but no matter how much searching I do I can't find 'the' version that I remember from my youth.I think I had it on a compilation album, actually now that I think about it, it could have been one of the Blues Brother, Soul Sister releases. In fact give me a moment and I will check.(short interlude)Ok so I have checked, and it was the Dobie Grey release - which is the one that is considered the archetypal version - and that I have

W/C 8th April 2024This is one of those songs where I don't actually know the original. I was introduced it by me by Jimmy Nail(not personally, obvs) as he covered it on his album Tadpoles in a Jar in 1999.It turns out it was written in 1972 by a band called Family, and I am listening to it for the first time as I write this.I have always loved the JN version, because it's a perfect little thing, a little gem of a song that doesn't demand your attention or sit proud in your subconscious, but is a

W/C 1st April 2024The New Statesman email has started landing in my inbox and I am not sure why. I can only assume it is something to do with signing up for the Ian Dunt blog that I told you about, but whatever the reason I am quite enjoying it.It seems to be a bit sporadic in terms of its cadence, and I would be lying if I didn't tell you that was triggering my OCD tendencies a little, but generally it has been a positive.So far this week I have enjoyed pieces penned by David Gauke, and Lewis

W/C 25th March 2024It is hard to believe that this song was released when I was 18, and that I first saw Mr Big at Rock City two years later in 1991. I was a bit of a devotee for the first few albums and I still have a huge soft spot for the song Green Tinted Sixties Mind, because it is a perfect slice of hair pop rock.As it turns out they are currently on the road for their Big Finish tour, playing their second album Lean into It (which contains GTSM) and rounding off their 30+ year career.

W/C 18th March 2024Why do I leave my podcast notes until Saturday morning, when I know it is going to cause me stress.I like to be out for a run by 07:30, but it’s 07:08 and I still have to drink my tea, get a shower and get dressed.For some reason, even when TFM is in the can in plenty of time, I still put the notes off. And it isn’t like they are ground breaking in terms of content, or indeed quality.Bonkers. Stay safe.Cecilia - Simon and GarfunkelTherapy For Me (or TFM as I now refer to it) is a
