And, more importantly, where are they buying the blank tapes? It wasn’t so long ago that cassette labels were buying up boxes of blanks from a dusty corner in the Richer Sounds warehouse.

I don’t have any German ladies, but I do have a pig wearing shades carrying a ghetto-blaster:

Cinematographer Ben Wheeler used Hawk V-Lite Anamorphic lenses on The Tourist. Perhaps he used them on This Town, too.

It sounds like you need mp3tag, probably the best freeware online.

My proper bassist pal uses some kind of headphone amp which includes a vibrating pad for that “standing in front of an 18″ cab” feel.

I met Hooky and Mrs Merton when they were on the booze and I didn’t like them. I doubt I’d like him on coke, either. I agree totally with your second paragraph.

As Sean says, he often comes across sounding like Alan Partridge, but with even less self-awareness. Barney’s book would be summarised thus: “My childhood was really grim, I am an artist but nobody ever […]

I wouldn’t go as far as blind loyalty, Martin. Or even any loyalty. I’ve (especially) read his book and well, let’s just say I don’t think I’d like to meet him. Add in the fact the newly media-savvy ‘man of the […]

Reader: I didn’t marry her. My Best Man lives an hour south of Sydney in Wollongong, and I’m overdue a visit. It’s the same continent, at least.

Well, you’re in for a treat, Hamish, as this remaster sounds ruddy fantastic. Even better than my 40+ year-old Linn original.

That’s good to know. For the second-time today I have revealed myself to be low-brow.

I’m definitely low-brow, so bring on the Unilever…

I don’t think slumbering in a box is anything to do with the failure, it’s just crap design (possibly deliberate to encourage you to buy a replacement). The GF prior to Mrs F had a Technics amp which ran for […]

I reach for JM’s Solid Air whenever the mercury reaches 30. And a Magnum Classic.

I forgot to add: if this really is a common problem, the design of the circuit is, frankly, a bit sh!t. We’ve had many, many, decades to refine the Class A-B amplifier. Saul Marantz would be turning in his grave.

Oh dear, I’m sorry to hear that. I hope he makes a full recovery. It seems The Magic Mountain is some kind of treatment facility for “Persian Rugs”. It did make me think, though – Lloyd is 63 years of age. […]

Christ, HP, that’s so dull I’d nearly forgotten it myself. It was the baldy fella out of The Portisheads. Nice pickup, mind.
