At the risk of running the gauntlet...
...I'm going to post a two minute YouTube clip of a rather wonderful piece of music; however, that's what Patrick C did earlier with The Tramp and I think he's still reeling from his recent appearance in front of the kangaroo court.
OK, so let me give it context.
It's a foot-tapping ditty entitled All Up by Ocean Colour Scene and it's an instrumental slice of cod Northern Soul that probably came out when Britpop was still in its first flush of youth.
So, why am I posting it and why do I think the rest of you will like it?
Well, it being a Saturday evening, it's the sort of tune that will aid the cooking of any meal you're preparing tonight or, equally, facilitate the process of 'getting ready' for your Saturday night on the tiles.
And if it doesn't do either of the above then please don't get all heavy handed with me - life's too short. Anyway, I've gotta go. It's time to put my falling over trousers on as the sun prepares to cross the yard arm.

the video says. Good name.
And don't feel bad, John, "Marchin' Already" is a fantastic album, one of the most underrated from the 90s certainly. "Get Blown Away" and "It's A Beautiful Thing" are particularly fragile in a sort of beautiful indie pop way. But better.
Heretic! Burn the witch!
Please sir, he's breaking the rules sir! He's not being po-faced enough sir!
