@500songspodcast.bsky.socialReposted by @500songspodcast.bsky.social52 years ago today, on 12th October 1974, Blondie performed their first live gig under that name at the CBGB music club in NYC. Originally the “Angel and the Snake”, the change was inspired by cat caller who leaned out of a truck to yell at Harry as he drove past. Happy Blondie Day, one and all.

@newhouse.bsky.socialReposted by @500songspodcast.bsky.socialI have a much deeper appreciation now for my mom having Robin's Reign on vinyl.
@petrospisco.bsky.socialReposted by @500songspodcast.bsky.socialDue to @andrewhickey.500songs.com I am now entering my Bee Gees period, after 40ish years of stubbornly resisting…
@jillianreilly.bsky.socialReposted by @500songspodcast.bsky.socialI did not realise how delightfully odd The Bee Gees were (even having seen Cucumber Castle). And by the time we got to the saddest-sounding Coke jingle ever, what was there not to love? A really entertaining episode and this song is brilliant

@500songspodcast.bsky.socialBest reason to stop ! Save the rest for another time. Really pleased it went well and look after yourself.
@ambignostic.bsky.socialReposted by @500songspodcast.bsky.socialI know Gadsden is doing a bit here, but it does overlap nicely with something Andrew Hickey said in the latest @500songspodcast.bsky.social, with which I completely agree
@500songspodcast.bsky.socialHope it keeps you company, Chris. Best of luck and take care!

@quizlacey.bsky.socialReposted by @500songspodcast.bsky.socialOne thing I love about @500songspodcast.bsky.social is that you literally can't predict where an episode will begin or where it will go.
The episode I'm up to - 146, on Good Vibrations - starts with a literal history of the word 'song' and an attempt to raise Lenin as a zombie.
