Throwback: Blondie-Heart Of Glass
Tumblr media
Debbie Harry and Chris Stein of Blondie wrote "Heart Of Glass" in 1974 after hearing The Hues Corporation's disco hit "Rock The Boat." They rewrote the song multiple times and the version that landed on their third album, Parallel Lines, took inspiration from Kraftwerk, The Bee Gees, and Giorgio Moroder. Their fanbase accused them of selling out because disco was mainstream and their first two albums had a punk and new wave influence.  The criticism overlooked the band's live covers of Gloria Gaynor's "Honey Bee"  at their shows and a performance of Donna Summer's "I Feel Love" at the Blitz Benefit in 1978. This eclecticism would make itself known again when the band embraced rap music on their recording of "Rapture" and shout-out to Fab Five Freddy in 1980.
"Heart Of Glass" was Blondie's big breakthrough moment and it scored them American pop status and a number-one hit in the UK. They were international stars after the success of Parallel Lines which sold millions of copies. "Heart Of Glass" is one of the UK's biggest-selling singles ever and was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2015. Missy Elliott, Nicki Minaj, and Tricky have sampled "Heart Of Glass." Miley Cyrus and Chet Atkins are two of many artists to cover Blondie's classic single. In 2019,  BLONDIE: VIVIR EN LA HABANA the film about their show in Cuba was released. Chris Stein released his memoir, Under A Rock in June of 2024. Blondie's 2024 tour of the United States and Canada is underway.

A Minor Spell/Skill Update
Tumblr media
Having gone most of a year without any deep need to mess around in the coding of spells, I perhaps foolishly decided to add 23 new ones. In addition, many party members had their entire movelist expanded slightly and reorganized to better fit their new additions; I say slight, but the way things work internally, it still took weeks of pushing numbers around. Most people only got one or two new spells, but several of those that previously had very few (Rem/Kazumi/Jess) got three or four, making magical builds more viable for them. Lastly, some of those 23 new spells/skills are new Weapon Skills, finally removing those instances of some skills (Cleave, Sweeping Slash, Armour Shred) being tripled up. No Weapon Skill appears more than twice now.
Thought the spells might be interesting on their own, so I'll list a few. Some additions are simple or boringly practical, like Fire/Pierce versions of Ice Slide (Fire Dive/Joust), so I'll skip them.
Terra Smasher - Direct; Weaponize your Terra Shield Enhancement and shatter it on a foe. First, Terra Shield is an Enhancement that's been around since the start, reducing physical damage taken by 10% per potency of it. This takes that Enhancement, and turns it into a huge number and crushes the foe with it, being more powerful the more potency the Terra Shield was. Terra Shield's existence makes it a bit more interesting, as it serves both defensive and offensive purposes.
Refraction - Beam; Only hits last target. Damage increases for each Enhancement passed through. This based on a bug Ice Slide once had. Ice Slide moves you across the field in a line, harming those in the way, but stops flat against any Rooted targets (those that can't be moved). Instead, it copied that Rooted Ailment onto everybody hit after them, including the slider. It's a very different take on that, but that was the inspiration. If the guys in the middle of the field are full of Enhancements (like the earlier mentioned Terra Shield or the next-turn magic-boost Meditation), the sap in the back is gonna get ROCKED.
Weapon Dispersal - Direct; Remove Elemental Weapon from an ally, and unleash it as a Magical Field spell. Element Weapon spells have been around from the start, but I've never personally used them much. In addition to this skill, Elemental Weapon spells now also increase one's resistance to that element, so casting Fire Weapon on yourself when facing a bunch of fire dudes has merit defensively, as it only affects basic attacks, so basic skills like Cleave or Sweeping Slash retain their normal (Slash) damage typing. Anyway, it's something of another setup spell that lets its user deal quite an array of elemental damages, depending on your party lineup.
Unity - Rally; Give all allies Unity Enhancement. If any still have it in 8 turns, the caster gets a massive Charge boost (currently testing at +500; or 5 consecutive turns, basically). Unity Enhancement lost if they target takes any damage. It might sound really overpowered, but the two characters with potential access to this, Kazumi and Jess, are both suuuper slow and defense-oriented. So it fits with their goals; go slow and keep everyone else safe, then absolutely blitz out and dunk that last target when the fight's almost done.
Vacuum Wave / Clear Thrust - Two different spells/skills, that both function similarly; ruin the lives of Evasive targets. Vacuum Wave hurts more against fast/evasive guys, Clear Thrust merely debuffs their evasion massively. They might sound overpowered, but the number of highly evasive foes is rather low, and breakaway evaders are tremendously annoying to deal with, so this provides a few rare opportunities to swiftly handle them.
Sliding Slicer - There's skills that attack and move forwards, attack and move ALL the way forwards, attack then move backwards, and teleport randomly, but I've added one more move+attack style to the mix. Sliding Slicer is a simple attack, followed by immediately shifting places vertically. Perhaps not the most remarkable, but being attached to the claw/katar/fist weaponset allows someone like Chizuru to literally never stop attacking and moving, MP permitting; something an incredibly deadly but frail assassin like her needs.
Rapture - Possibly the logical limit of punishing a player who commits exclusively to one stat or build. Rapture inflicts powerful Bind or Silence on everyone on the field (including the caster), depending on their Attack/Magic ratio, picking which would be more problematic for them; if they're mostly balanced between the two, it just chooses randomly. If you've got some good spells but are mostly a fighter, or vice versa, you can take advantage of others floundering and really push ahead. Don't, and, well, you'll be the one floundering.
In addition to all this, I've started work on making the AI a bit more intelligent, so they won't use spells under poor circumstances and will re-select a different spell based on circumstance. For instance, If a foe doesn't have a high enough Terra Shield to utilize Terra Smasher effectively, they'll just cast Terra Shield on the spot instead of being stupid and wasting their turn. I've got about 40 spells picked out to receive these option selects.
Further, I'm looking at changing the AI in some form so they won't bother with buffs/debuffs and other passive tactics if they're at critical HP or are the last foe. Too often I've seen foes flounder when they're by themselves instead of making a final desperate push; it's kind of sad. While this sounds as simple as the above spell re-selection, it's a lot more general in nature, so I'm having a bit of trouble with it. This aspect might not be fully implemented by then, but the rest of this should easily be done for Version 0.9.3, which I'm looking at a mid-August release for.

Other Music documentary (2019- directed by Puloma Basu and Rob Hatch-Miller)  review by Dina Hornreich
Tumblr media
“It is harder to put together than to take apart.” A plain and not-so simple comment coming from the former Other Music Record Store co-owners, Josh Madell and Chris Vanderloo, who are prominently featured in the film, as these words underscore a scene in which their crew is dismantling their once hallowed CD sales racks in preparation for the store’s reluctant closure. OM used to herald as a beacon of hope in NYC’s bustling offbeat East Village neighborhood, a cultural hub known as St. Marks Place – not far from New York University. (If you asked any New Yorker for directions, they would enthusiastically tell you to simply “get off at the stop for Astor Place Station from the #6 or #4 [subway] train: you will see the gigantic cube immediately after exiting the station...can’t miss it!”)
The OM store opened its doors in 1996, and officially closed in 2016. Twenty years is a very good run for any kind of establishment such as this one, especially in the Big Apple – a fact that was not taken lightly by the two makers of this film who each were an employee and a regular customer at the establishment themselves! And like the store itself: the film is an endeavor for music nerds by music nerds. (And, obviously, this Dagger Zine review is no different.)
For creatively inclined weirdos like us, OM was a place of refuge. It was a major meta-musical mecca that happened to take the form of a retail outlet which is a very bold endeavor to consider: an unusual existence as a cultural outlet that strove to challenge our knowledge, expand our awareness, and promote the discovery of completely unknown (even uncomfortable) expressions. This mentality was not conducive whatsoever to the slick sales-driven experience one might come to expect upon shopping for any traditional kind of consumable commodities. And we certainly did not receive that kind of treatment while shopping there anyway!
OM’s purpose was contrary to basic principles of economics because it was run by artistic types who believed in a much higher purpose behind what they were selling: it was a community focused approach. In doing so, they completely confounded the basic notion that we were purchasing mere commercial products to be unloaded for profit (like toothpaste). The store’s very existence was a subversive act of culture jamming in and of itself. This information in conjunction with a solid awareness of the cut-throat and risky nature involved with doing any kind of enterprising endeavors in NYC is extremely pertinent. (I was once told that any restaurant in NYC would be far more successful if it were in another location simply because the competition alone would be considerably less stiff.)
Instead, they were offering something very unusual to their customers by incorporating some kind of pseudo-quasi-intellectual discourse using extraordinarily inventively stylistic fusions and/or varied often inconceivable sonic experiments to create such astute, pithy, and massively passionate descriptions that would be entirely ineffective as a sales strategy to the less tolerant/picky shoppers at the overpowering Tower Records across the street. The store had a unique energy that was entirely its own manifestation. Bin categories had mysterious names such as: in, then, decadanse, etc. that baffled even the artists whose own work was often filed underneath them, as evidenced by the hesitant testimony provided by indie rock luminary Dean Wareham (of the bands Galaxie 500 and Luna). In fact, these idiosyncratically descriptive insider taxonomies were typically used as a rite of passage upon orienting new store employees to OM’s unique aesthetic.  
The delectably raw live in-store performance footage of more acquired tastes, but definitely well-loved by those “in the know,” included bands who simply could not have thrived in the same ways at more conventional outlets: The Apples in Stereo, Neutral Milk Hotel, The Rapture, etc. The most delightfully peculiar act might have been delivered by a performer named Gary Wilson whose legendary appearance began with him surreptitiously entering the store while beneath a blanket and then (from behind the scenes, presumably) covering himself in talcum powder prior to seizing the stage with unabashedly alarming flamboyance – with only the playful tunes that would we expect to appropriately match that indelible image so gloriously!
And that was precisely the point: they were unequivocally rebelling against more conventional music consumption habits by offering an entirely different kind of taste-making experience that was kind of less palatable overall – and, in doing so, they even helped launch the careers of some important figures: Vampire Weekend, Animal Collective, and Interpol. The description of the “consignment” process for emerging artists who managed to attain a place on their sanctified shelves seemed extraordinarily modest considering the scope and nature of the impact it offered. There was a lot of social currency behind the OM brand.
The inclusion of a parody skit starring Aziz Anzari and Andy Blitz (available here as well https://youtu.be/YN1mKiQbi4g), followed by the various customer testimonials (including actor and musician Jason Schwartzman), indicated that they may have exuded more than a hint of an unflatteringly, even off-putting, air of NYC hipster pretentiousness akin to that portrayed in the Nick Hornby book, Stephen Frears movie, and/or the new Hulu series (involving both Hornby and Frears): High Fidelity. However, there were clearly very good reasons for them to do this: They represented an extreme mishmash of strange characters who collectively embodied all the historically marginalized shapes, sizes, colors among other attributes that would not have been celebrated (or considered marketable) elsewhere. If they weren’t a little snooty, they probably would have been mocked entirely – as evidenced by an astute and pithy comment by a long-time store employee describing Animal Collective as appearing like a “sinister Fraggle Rock on acid.”
These artists never aspired to becoming real “rock stars” anyway – on the contrary, they embodied the antithesis of that concept. (A point made abundantly clear as they bookended the film with footage of ordinary musicians simply marching through the streets of NYC.) Literally, OM offered shelter to those of us who are able to truly appreciate the anthemic idea behind the phrase: “songs in the key of Z.” It was a place for gathering the outsiders among outsiders, in other words.
It is impossible to ignore various impressive personalities who made appearances throughout the film, in both large and small roles. This includes but is not limited to major NYC scene contributors such as Lizzy Goodman, author of the equally compelling and similarly themed book: Meet Me in the Bathroom: Rebirth and Rock’n Roll in New York City 2001-2011. Footage in the film included key figures in influential bands including: TV on the Radio, Le Tigre, The National, Vampire Weekend, Yeah Yeah Yeahs (all of whom are also featured in Goodman’s book). You can also see glimpses of varied lesser known, yet supremely compelling figures of that era, including writers Kandia Krazy Horse and Geeta Dayal, and former store employees such as Lisa Garrett and Gerald Hammill.
These conversations take place until we eventually witness the demise of Tower across the street (and its many ilk of like-minded big box stores) which clearly signaled the ever-looming end for Vanderloo and Madell’s opus-like enterprise. A point that musician Stephin Merritt, best known for so many stellar masterpieces with his longest-running outfit, The Magnetic Fields, emphasizes upon casually observing the degrading presence of a fitness studio franchise that has since taken up residence in the spot that used to house Tower’s second floor. (I failed to try and restrain myself from recalling a new sense of irony from the lyrical lines that Merritt himself had written and recorded around 1991: “Why do we still live here.. In this repulsive town? All our friends are in New York.”)
There is also a bit of an underlying insinuation only apparent from random customer shots throughout the store regarding a possible impact from the Rough Trade Records shop that had recently opened in Brooklyn around the time of OM’s closing. This is exceedingly apparent to this biased writer herself who personally ventured out to that Williamsburg location last year for an in-store performance with NYU Punk Professor, Vivien Goldman, who had just published her own book Revenge of the She Punks. An event whose audience clearly included some members of the OM community featured in this film as I recall the store had heavily lauded her Resolutionary compilation album release prior to its official closing.
As the film successfully affirms the significance behind record store culture (especially in a global hub like NYC) which has long been hailed as a sacred gathering space for various misfits and weirdos who might find significantly less understanding and/or productive social outlets in other circumstances; its unavoidable bittersweet conclusion dramatically asserts how disappointing it is for us to witness the complete loss in their consistently tenuous financial viability as we are well into the digital information age – if not for the simple fact that paying for music (or any kind of intellectual property) is more commonly perceived as an anachronistic practice which is a clear and painful affront to all the prescient creative geniuses who are struggling to make an honest living off their work.
The film highlights the many multifaceted aspects that we fondly and endearingly associate with the appreciation of music that lies at the heart of the irrational fervor behind record collecting culture: the smell of the vinyl itself, the enormous visual impact around the artists’ choices for cover art, the substantial weight it possesses when we remove it from the sleeve, the delicacy necessary to handle vinyl so as to minimize any potential damage, its often very limited quantities as it is not cost-efficient to produce (the obscurity is intrinsically part of the exhilaration surrounding this “hunt”) among other substantial inconveniences that more or less confirm this as an unproductive – if not entirely illogical – endeavor overall!
Of course, it has always been very apparent to us that we were engaged in some insanely addictive bizarre kinds of quests that kept leading us to this absurd little locale in the first place – desperately trying to pacify some nebulous and insatiable deep cravings that we couldn’t always articulate… yet it always kept us coming back for more! As Mac McCaughan from the bands Superchunk and Portastic, as well as co-owner of Merge Records, astutely concludes: “They knew what you wanted before you knew.” (Of course, they did!)
The overarching and staunch message of this film is most apparent during the final closing scenes when we are eavesdropping on a conversation that the former co-owner, Josh Madell, is having with his young daughter about simply streaming the Hamilton Soundtrack on Spotify because the vinyl copy would have cost her $90 in the store. Perhaps even more ironic, of course, might be suggested by the very relevant context in which we find ourselves today: the annual Record Store Day celebratory event with which the film’s re-release was planned to coincide obviously could not happen. As a result, I was reluctantly watching it, albeit self-consciously, on my 13” laptop screen in my home office during the self-quarantine of COVID-19. Half the proceeds for the “tickets” were to be used to support one of my favorite local record shops here in Denver, CO, Twist and Shout, who may or may not be able to reopen as this pandemic situation evolves.
There are bigger questions to contemplate as the tide of change has only just begun in ways that only a tragedy, such as a worldwide pandemic, can facilitate for even the most obstinate luddites who have no choice but to incorporate regular use of digital formats in their daily habits – and we totally have, of course! This documentary remains as unequivocal evidence of the viability behind OM as it stood as an historic cultural hub that transcended the fundamental premise behind a commercial retail outlet. (Even though retail was once considered the only aspect of the industry where substantial money could be made. In fact, a measure of an artists’ success was often the number of albums they actually sold.) As its impact clearly exceeds its impressive years as a store-front operated business, it may also indicate a shortcoming in mainstream outlets who tend to ignore, silence, dismiss, and otherwise relegate the disempowered voices in our community – which, of course, are the major reasons that forced us to seek out these alternate forums in the first place.
The role of arts and culture for society is in fact to provide the very same opportunities that OM offered to us, which is (to reiterate that point from above) to provide an opportunity for discourse that challenges our knowledge, expands our awareness, and promotes the discovery of the completely unknown (even uncomfortable) expressions. These conversations give our lives meaning and force us to continually improve ourselves on many levels. While such commentaries could be considered an acquired taste or even an entirely esoteric endeavor, the crucial sensibilities they offer hold enormous potential for a world that honestly seems to need to hear from us… now more than ever!
If only we could find a better way to invite the integration of our perspectives into the bigger conversations? So that we can participate in the innovations for the changed world that will be waiting for us – and to ensure that it will be a more inclusive place for all of us. Which is perhaps what we ultimately (and so desperately) need, want, and deserve. The alternatives seem frighteningly Orwellian… at the risk of seeming a bit histrionic.

Vertigo Records 
In Brief: Vertigo was one of several major label subsidiaries launched in the late ‘60s to nurture progressive rock talent, quickly developing a unique roster and brand aesthetic that are still respected, even revered, by modern-day music collectors.
The History: Founded in 1969, out of the London offices of Philips/Phonogram (later part of the Universal Music Group), Vertigo’s tacit mission under top executive and visionary Olav Wyper was to compete with EMI’s Harvest and Decca’s Deram subsidiaries in mining rock’s fertile fields for progressive sounds. 
Before we go any further, we should clarify that while “progressive rock” is now associated almost exclusively with a specific kind of group, such as King Crimson, Genesis and Yes, the term had a far more wide-ranging scope at the turn of the ‘60s and ‘70s, after The Beatles had proven that rock need have no limitations, beyond what artists could imagine.
This is why Vertigo’s earliest releases range from the jazz-rock fusions of Patto and Colosseum, to the classically-steeped art rock of Gracious and Cressida, to the avant-folk experiments of Dr. Strangely Strange (featuring a young Gary Moore), to the non-traditional blues-rock of May Blitz and Juicy Lucy, to the protean heavy metal of Uriah Heep and Black Sabbath.
These bold signings didn’t always generate huge sales, but they gave Vertigo instant credibility, which, in tandem with the label’s innovative packaging ideas and state-of-the-art production values, attracted scores of new artists to a roster that would grow increasingly eclectic as the ‘70s wore on, adding Kraftwerk, Magma, Gentle Giant, Lucifer’s Friend, Status Quo, Thin Lizzy and Dire Straits, among others.
However, since the bulk of Vertigo’s catalog was licensed for release by other labels outside the U.K. there’s always been some confusion among fans as to why their U.S.-purchased pressings of Vertigo artists sported Mercury, A&M, Island and Warner Bros. labels, to name just a few, while the same was true in the opposite direction, as Vertigo became the European distributor for Mercury (Rush, Kiss, Def Leppard, Bon Jovi, ABC) and the WEA system (Genesis, Dio, Metallica).
And as the ‘80s and ‘90s progressed, this arrangement conspired with the music industry’s never-ending corporate mergers and management upheavals to weaken Vertigo’s once unmistakable identity, gradually downgrading it from a proper standalone label to just another convenient imprint that its parent companies can periodically assign to assorted artists or executives.
That being said, Vertigo’s historical cachet sometimes still comes in useful in the new millennium, whether for launching hip new artists like The Rapture, The Killers and Razorlight, or celebrating legacy artists like Black Sabbath, on the occasion of their 2013 release, 13. 
The Labels: The original, black and white “Vertigo Swirl” – designed to “draw you into the record” like an optical illusion, according to label founder Wyper – is easily one of history’s most iconic and collectible labels, not least because it adorned less than 100 full-length titles between 1969 and ’73.
Vertigo’s singles also got their own swirl, and all formats displayed track-listing on the B-sides’ comparatively plain white label, although Black Sabbath’s Master of Reality uniquely merited a made-to-order black label.
But all good things must come to an end, so, by the mid ‘70s, the swirl had been replaced by an equally popular, imagination-fueling “Spaceship Acid Trip” painted by progressive rock’s favorite artist Roger Dean, which was deployed in a variety of in blues and greens throughout the ‘70s, plus very rare alternate shades in specific European markets.
Both of these beloved archetypes make it impossible to say kind things about Vertigo’s next branding overhaul for the 1980s, whereupon they adopted a bland, conservative typeface over an orange-yellow backdrop, later replaced by custom vanity labels for their artists, topped by a simple encircled “V” logo.
Note: ‘What’s in a Label’ is a Discogs Blog series devoted to celebrating both the history and art of record labels.

Title: Atonement Series: Love Undercover #3 Author: L.K. Shaw Genre: Romantic Suspense
I’ve worked hard to rebuild the life I nearly destroyed. I don't think I could ever atone for all my sins, but Landon might be my salvation. If we can survive a brewing drug war.
The private investigation firm I've started with my brother could be my shot at redemption. Our first case: find the supplier of Rapture, a new, lethal drug being sold on the streets. I’m determined to do some good and make up for the sins of my past.
One of those sins just walked through the door, and her name is Landon Roberts. Two years ago, a chance meeting in an empty bar led to the most intense connection of my life. The anguish in her eyes echoed the pain inside me, and for a single night we offered each other comfort. Until the morning when she disappeared without a trace.
Now, she’s the D.E.A. agent tasked with finding and eliminating the source behind Rapture. Which means I plan on spending a lot of time with her, because I have no intention of letting her get away again.
But the powerful man behind the lethal drug won’t let anyone stand in his way of his making money. Can Landon and I survive long enough to find love and atonement?

PETER CROUCH: I would love to see Gareth Bale back at Tottenham
Peter Crouch is a columnist for Sportsmail
It should be a formality, shouldn't it? Manchester City, with two trophies in the locker, could blitz Watford by three or four goals.
If they did, it would confirm City as the Premier League's greatest-ever team. They are on the verge of completing a domestic clean sweep – the first time that has been achieved – but, for some reason, it's not dominating conversations and I can't understand why.
I know plenty of diehard City supporters who are in raptures about the football they are seeing – most of my mum's family are Blues – but I get the feeling there are some who are becoming blasé about success.
You can be sure an element of their fans will arrive at Wembley thinking the job has already been done – but being the odds-on favorite in an FA Cup final is one of the most uncomfortable tags you can have in football and I remember my own experience in 2006.
I had waited all my life to play in an FA Cup final. I know the competition has changed over the past decade and it isn't what it used to be but when I got there with Liverpool, it meant the world to me. The FA Cup final was the game in my childhood so it was an honor to start in Cardiff.
Manchester City return to Wembley on Saturday for an FA Cup final against underdogs Watford
We had a great journey to get there. I'd scored three times on the run, including the one that knocked Manchester United out in the fifth round, and when we beat Chelsea in the semi-final at Old Trafford, it was generally assumed we would breeze fit West Ham.
Did that play on our minds? I couldn't say that. What I would say, though, I have never been nervous before or during a match as I was that day, so you can imagine how I felt when West Ham went two-up inside the first 30 minutes.
To make matters worse, I had a goal disallowed for offside.
Steven Gerrard, fortunately, did things that I had never seen before to save us and defied his physical limits to score two equalizers, one that I am sure you will see replayed on Saturday. That Cup final was named after him but it could easily have been West Ham's day. They were fearless.
We needed Steven's heroics plus a penalty shootout to get them after the match finished 3-3.
Watford, I am absolutely certain, will approach things the same way as West Ham. Javi Gracia's side have nothing to lose and they are more than capable of capitalizing if tension or the effects of a long season suddenly start to hinder City.

It really is a game like no other. Nobody gave Wigan a prayer or beating City in 2013, but they defied the odds to make themselves heroes and I'm sure Watford will feel there is some element of fate, given how they managed to come from behind to beat Wolves in the semi-
At the beginning of the season, I questioned where things were going for Watford as I couldn't understand how the constant chopping and changing of managers could bring progression but Gracia has worked wonders and I would love to see them win.
City give the impression that they will win trophies for ever, but this might be Watford's moment in time, the day they just have to grasp. For players such as Troy Deeney it could be the last chance and for Heurelho Gomes it is. That hunger and desire to win makes them extremely dangerous opponents.
Given the season we have, you would be unwise to make assumptions about how this final will go. City's players are creating history and could be immortal come 7pm, as English football's first domestic treble winners.
Expectation, however, brings tension. Watford will have watched Liverpool, Tottenham and Derby come back from seemingly impossible positions in recent weeks and fancy their chances of doing the same. Football never ceases to surprise.

I would love to see Bale back at Spurs
Gareth Bale's position at Real Madrid continues to confuse me and the misuse of such a talented player is ridiculous.
We share the same agent and, as far as I know, it is determined to stick it out in Spain. He is happy living there and wants to force his way back into the team, regardless of speculation that continues to follow him.
But if he is not going to be used regularly next season, I would love to see him return to Spurs. I saw reports earlier this week or him going back to the club on loan, with a £ 10million loan fee suggested. I know how Daniel Levy operates and that certainly wouldn't be the kind of deal he'd like to do!
It would make a lot of sense, however. Could you imagine his searing pace alongside Harry Kane?
He keeps being linked to Manchester United but I just don't see that club suiting him at the minute.
When Gareth is fit and healthy , he is one of the most exciting players in the world. I hate seeing him sitting on the bench, without being appreciated. I'd love to see him back here reminding everyone just how good he is.
Tottenham have been linked with a deal to re-sign Gareth Bale, who left London back in 2013
A few weeks ago, I made reference in my column to have done some filming for a very worthwhile cause and you will see the results on Sunday night.
A Royal Team Talk will be broadcast on BBC One (10.30pm) and it was a pleasure to sit down with Prince William, Gareth Southgate and a number of colleagues, including Danny Rose, to discuss our experiences for Mental Health Awareness Week. I do not suffer with depression, but I still have issues and worries like everyone else, during that discussion, I found it is very good and beneficial to talk about your concerns.
It is not something I have done with any regularity over the years.
It was in the early part of my career that I had my biggest difficulties and the abuse I used to receive from the terraces was unforgiving at times. Frankly, it can be ruthless and being subjected to it over a lengthy period or time can take its toll.
But, as I said, it was good to listen to other people's experiences.
I hope you find the program enjoyable but, more than anything, I hope it can help.
MY WEEK
NEXT UP FOR ME …
Who knows? At the minute, your guess is as good as mine.
WHO'S CAUGHT MY EYE … Mason Mount
I have been watching his progress at Derby County this season and he is a player going places. I thought he was excellent in the win over Leeds United on Wednesday.
WHAT I'M LISTENING TO …
My mate Serge Pizzorno from Kasabian has called a new project The S.L.P. and the first track he has released is called Favorites. I would recommend you give it a listen.
WHAT I'VE BEEN UP TO. ..
Winding down after the end of the season. I bumped into Gianluca Vialli, my childhood hero, in London earlier this week and had a good chat with him.
I had his Sampdoria shirt when I was a kid – what a legend he is.
I also made an appearance on The Graham Norton Show this week, which was a proper laugh!
