mastodon 4.7.2Endowed by nature with a magnificent beard and a fine voice, it was almost inevitable that Piers would grow up to be a folk singer, and so they have!
An old internet bloke of longstanding, they've served time as a sysadmin, ISP operator and programmer before RSI buggered up all those career paths.
These days he's most likely to be found at home working as his wife's carer, or streaming #FolkSongs on Friday nights at https://youtube.com/pierscawley/live

Mmmm… that chorus where she’s just behind the beat. Gorgeous! #totp
No hand guitar solo! I don’t think The Stranglers are taking miming very seriously. #totp
Voice is there. Songwriting, not so much. #totp
I concur with the last line of that THIS LIFE trailer: “Stop it” #totp

@jess@blop.social I think the stage manager keeps pushing her to the front ‘cos the hat’s better than most of the acts. #TOTP

@losttourist@social.chatty.monster So you’re saying Billie is to Britney as 5Star are to The Jacksons? #TOTP
CHOON! SINGER! #totp
Bon Jovi still sounding remarkably like he did in the eighties. Liking this more than I expected, but then I’m a big fan of Slippery When Wet (despite the fucking awful title) #totp
Play Alf! #totp
Tommy Vance: a DJ with a voice others would kill for, delivering the most anodyne possible links.
I used to listen to his rock show on Friday nights, so I know he could do way better than his #totp presenting work. His heart’s clearly not in it.
Who let this pyschedelic nonsense out of the sixties?
Well done! #totp

@denny@boing.world yeah, but you just know that’s not the vibe they were going for. #TOTP
Well, that was two hours I won’t get back any time. Thanks for making it more entertaining everyone! #totp
Well, we’ve found the worst track of the night #totp
Love Wham!’s #totp appearances. They always look like they’re a gang of chancers delighted to be getting away with it.
While performing absolutely peerless pop songs. Which is the exact opposite of so many other acts.
Hang on, Yes? In the singles chart? #totp

@losttourist@social.chatty.monster Or even Noddy having a crack at Smooth Operator. #TOTP
Bloody hell! Even Stevie stands up for the key change! #totp
FUCK OFF KIPPER! #totp
All the eighties cliche instruments on that stage right now. #totp
Dancing audience + a proper CHOON from an artist who’s never gonna play the show? Must be eighties #totp
Competent, but dreary. Almost belongs on one of the 2000 episodes. #totp
It’s not prime Stevie Wonder. But it’s still Stevie Wonder and, dammit, that chorus is unstoppable. #totp

@snaprails@cupoftea.social if you have to hold onto it to keep it on, you’re not wearing the hat – the hat’s wearing you and thus you’re disqualified from Top of the Hats. #TOTP
I can’t bloody stand Paul Weller for entirely irrational reasons, but this is still a banger. #totp
FUCK OFF HUTCH! Or is it Starsky? #totp
NO. Just… NO. #totp
Phonebook singer ahoy! #totp
This vocal isn’t live. Not holding the mic like that. #totp
Bloody hell! They’re *playing* Yes!
Jon’s voice is amazing. With almost coherent lyrics, which is remarkable all by itself. #totp
You just know that, if they were available then, the Kipper’s Raybans would be creep glasses. #totp

@losttourist@social.chatty.monster now I want to hear her version of Cum On Feel The Noize! #TOTP
CHOON! Also, more whiplash. #totp
I dunno what it was about Billie’s pop career that made Russell T Davies cast her in #DoctorWho, but I’m glad he did. #totp
