Hello there!

Welcome to issue number one-hundred and fifty-six of The New Cue, another inspired dose of Recommender Friday. That reminds me, we must trademark Recommender Friday, I’ve noticed it getting much more popular recently, popping up in chats at the school gate, in marketing meetings, on the specials board at The Quality Chop Shop, in goal celebrations, tattooists, the lot. Recommender Friday is ours, it started here, you can share it but you can’t have it all to yourself.

Before we green light today’s award-winning newsletter, a reminder that tonight we’ve got an excellent event lined up at London’s The Social, as our own Ted Kessler will be speaking to celebrated music journalist legends Sylvia Patterson and Tom Doyle about their music press memories and chaotic tales. There’s still some tickets left here. See you at the bar!

Here's a playlist to go with today’s shenanigans:
