My Crucial Track for 21 February 2026 - “Zobi la mouche” by Les Négresses Vertes
What song makes you feel like you’re in a different country?
“Zobi la mouche” by Les Négresses Vertes
I went to see this band at what used to be called the Town and Country Club, in Kentish Town
Both the band and the audience made me feel like I was in Paris, or somewhere further South.
They played this song twice. As far as I can ... https://mattypenny.micro.blog/2026/02/21/my-crucial-track-for-february.html

I’ve moved away from database-y stuff over the last couple of years, but I’ve been fiddling about with a point-in-time restore this morning, and I’ve been reminded how good dbatools is.
It seems to have grown a viking helmet since I last used it :)

My Crucial Track for 17 February 2026 - “The Wind Doesn’t Blow This Far Right” by Lisa O’Neill
How do you discover new music, and what’s the latest gem you’ve found?
“The Wind Doesn’t Blow This Far Right” by Lisa O’Neill
It’s a mixture of collaborations, compilations, algorithms, books and websites, and podcasts, and the occasional Shazam.
This song is a case in point. I’m not sure how I originally heard of Lisa ... https://mattypenny.micro.blog/2026/02/17/my-crucial-track-for-february.html

"But what about his favourite goal? “Maybe the one against Tottenham,” he says of the curling equaliser in the dying minutes of the Battle of the Bridge in 2016. That goal didn’t just secure a 2-2 draw, it effectively ended Spurs’ title hopes and handed the trophy to Claudio Ranieri’"
One of my favourites, too 😀

A bit about my old school and William Golding.
Golding was a bit before my time, but we ‘did’ Lord of the Flies with a teacher called Mr Gammon, who we all called ‘Piggy’
