New Goal! New Feature! New Apology! (Patreon)

A few bits of admin.

FIRST! Thank you for supporting me in September and I hope you enjoyed the entries. It's a whole new Popular year and the fact we've reached it is all thanks to you.

SECOND! There's a brand new goal - if I get to $750 a month I will definitely at least TRY doing a podcast based on Popular. Format, guests, etc all very much up in the air and I might never get there. But if I do this will be a thing. Tell your friends and even your enemies about the Popular Patreon!

THIRD! Apologies to my $10 and above patrons - I haven't done as many Repopulated entries as I wanted, partly because it's harder to get into the "editorial" headspace than it is the "writing" headspace. I doubt I'll be getting properly stuck into the work behind Repopulated until at least the Top 100 is finished, but instead...

FOURTH! I'm doing a new feature for the $10 and over tiers called PARALLEL LINES, in which I'm reviewing and rating the 40 singles which got to number one unofficially between 1955 and 1969. These include some very big tunes indeed, and they also include Harry Secombe. But this covers roughly the same period as the Repopulated work and hopefully will be an enjoyable replacement until I can get down to that. They will be exclusive to Patreon until I've done all 40, at least.

That's all - thanks again!

Tom
