The one thing I’ve learned since going to a wedding in France is that Celine Dion has a surprising number of French language wedding disco bangers.

“Destiny Calling” is one of those underrated James songs that deserves the iconic status of “Sit Down” or “Laid”. It’s a fantastic song. #TOTP
I had “Remember You’re a Womble” on cassette from this 1998 reissue. #TOTP
The new Naked Gun film is hilarious. A remake done right.
