Merry Christmas and a very happy New 2026, Barbara. Hope the coming year is filled with lots of good music for us to enjoy xx

Hey Barbara, thoughts on the new JADE Encore Tracks?

Hey Barbara, what do you think of the ROSALIA album? I'm obsessed, it's so different from anything I've heard. It's going straight into my favourite albums of the year.

Hi Barbara! Long time! How are things? x

Eurovision sucked this year!

Barbara, have you discovered 'Find Xanadu' by Alison Goldfrapp yet?

Barbara... I am in love!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_AWMVYGj72s

Barbara, do you have this in your library? And if not, why? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9uIAB_GNmGw

boo!

What happened to Samantha James?

Barbara... how in the HELL did Luna not qualify?

Flashback Friday: Andain - Much Too Much

Oooh you have changed your top tracks to the last 365 days... BarbTrack '2023' - I must look and listen.

Do you ever look at someone's Last.fm profile and notice that they have thousands and thousands of plays, yet they have not scrobbled anything for years? I see this a lot and wonder... makes me feel a little sad.

Slayyyter

Isn't it a bit sad that the first song released by Sugababes after about 10 years is pretty much crap?

Barbara, you really need to listen to Planet of the Bass. That is good to me as well as that. How does it mean.

So sad about CoCo Lee. I used her songs heavily in Flex and Athletic Assault back in the day. It's so sad she was in this dark space.

Barbara... you may not like this, but I am in freaking love!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=02Z1Ufq43fk

I don't know, maybe I'm getting old(er) but Vulgar is kind of vulgar? All I know is this... as I get old(er) I would much rather Kylie than Madonna.

What is the Royksopp song you initially recommended to me? The song with Susanne Sundfor?? The breath she takes... Could it be the right time? ...

Barbara... REALiTi or Oblivion. Choose.

Barbara! How are you? Stockholm Noir released a new song today called Loop (https://open.spotify.com/track/7hxEKzETvUwIgveCidaX9D?si=69b1756911334aa0 ) and it made me think of you! Hope all is well. x

Alison Goldfrapp

I was looking at your most listened to tracks over the past 30 days and noticed Raye. Which is the definitive version because iTunes has something sped up and slowed down.

Barbra... I have many things to mention... your email, obviously your name... and mainly Sugababes version 1.0 album... OMG they are so good.

In other news... not a fan of this Madonna. AT ALL!!!

I have hated every Lizzo song so far... but that new song of hers is so freaking catchy!!

This reminds me of what we were listening to about 10 years ago... and I love it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HuM8eQNPTOs

Bitty strava, bitty strava, bitty strava... bit bit bit... zero clue what I just said (probably nothing) but WASH YOUR HANDS!!!

Winner of Eurovision 2022... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l44bNYYMqoE

I am loving this... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lXrFBsYKrgE

I was coming here to say that I miss Mini Viva, but apparently I've already said it.

I miss Mini Viva.

Please don't tell me you've been sleeping on this one... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HURbhBmaEHw

YES!! 'Tehran 1979' is all my Kylie 'Disco' dreams come true. Why could she not include one song like this? Just one song!!! (with more vocals obviously).

Barbara... do you stand in front of the mirror and practise the 'Save a Kiss' choreography? Because you know I do.

Well, I don't think it's as good as the original - doesn't capture the same energy, but I do love this... and it acknowledges that the original is pretty special https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLIESvLSDKA

What ended up being your favourites from (cancelled) Eurovision this year?

Save a Kiss... Jessie Ware - restores my faith in humanity... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OuvlC7b7yfk

Finally no more double scrobbles... I updated my computer which updated iTunes. This is of no consequence to you but I'm so freaking happy about it that I had to tell someone.

Hello Barbara. All good here. Hope you're doing great too? Yeah it's nearly that time again. No full on favourite just yet. Things should be a much clearer in a couple of weeks ;-) What about you?

*waves* :)

3 months on and I'm still getting double scrobbles when I listen "live".

How is it that you have only listened to "Looking for Mercy" 19 times? Don't look at how many times I've listened. My playcount doesn't align with how much I love a song. "Looking for Mercy" is pretty much classic Madonna... proves that she is still The Queen.

Do you know who the vocalist is for "Glory"? She sounds like the girl from Alphabeat in some parts. What do you think?
