Last Shadow Puppets
This guy’s OTHER band, at the same time as young Arctic Monkeys. Seems like they’re still teens.
They switch guitars and positions between these two videos, I think, and they look kinda the same, so it threw me.

Ladies and Gentlemen The Blurs
We’re Only As Good As The Songs We Don’t Play
A Study In Contrasts
I must have stumbled across the Renfield feed with this one. Had to look up Peter Maxwell Davies.

5. The Vaselines
6. Belle & Sebastian
7. Camera Obscura

Big Country is disqualified because their best song has their own name in it.
Honorable mention to Bay City Rollers because I grew up in the 70’s, and Jethro Tull because Ian Anderson is a Scot.
I will now listen to your complaints about this stupid list.
I’m In My Glam Phase
Also I want the European woman who introduces the song to follow me around and narrate my various exploits.
So You’re Saying There’s A Chance
Asteroid 2024 YR4 was discovered several weeks ago.
Between 100 to 300 feet across, it has something like a 1.5% chance of striking earth in 2032. Anything larger than 150 feet with a 1% chance of impact gets put on the watch list of the International Asteroid Warning Network.
An asteroid that size could easily cause something as significant as the Tunguska Event in Siberia in 1908, estimated at 1000X the explosive force of the Hiroshima bomb.
And still not remotely close to the Chicxulub impactor at the end of the Cretaceous. When it struck the Yucatan, the 10 – 15 kilometer meteor caused a rim of mountains higher than the Himalayas to form around the impact zone, blasted debris that achieved escape velocity and left the atmosphere, and brought instantaneous extinction as far away as what is now North Dakota and New Jersey.
NASA (funding pending) and Jet Propulsion Labs, among others, will follow YR4’s progress. If they upgrade this current threat, presumably some half-baked plan ensues to mitigate damage. I have personally volunteered Makerbot – the youngest, spryest, least whiny bastard – to lead Space Force on that dangerous mission.
