Saw them in Brighton earlier this year. Third or fourth time I’ve seen them. Occasionally they made a genuinely awesome noise. But Anton’s level of self indulgence made it a hard performance to love. The tun […]

I can’t recommend a specific album. I can recommend that the only acceptable position for listening to Gong is lying flat on your back. Ideally on a beanbag.

t’s an odd act of over-compensation, to my mind. I’m grateful to my own, er, goddess, that she found it equally questionable. Her take being, when men realise they’ve treated women like shit for years, the best […]

I went to the Brighton leg of the tour and share your observation, Jaygee, that the latter part of the first half ( The Feminine Divine performed in full ) felt under cooked. The My Goddess Is and Goddess Rules […]

The Trini is indeed a beautiful object and much more playable, in my admittedly limited experience, than a Coronado…which are beautiful guitars but take a bit of wrestling with. I see above that you are a fan of […]

Excellent thread. Have a bunch of guitars – each of which deserves a more accomplished owner – but the faves are : Gibson Trini Lopez – custom shop from about 2016 I think, with factory bigs by. Looks […]

Suede did little for me until I saw them live. Brett A is one of the great front men. Not Nick Cave great. But pretty bloody great.
And Everyone says Hi is one of the great Bowie tracks. Not ‘Heroes’ great. But […]

He’s British! I have always assumed that he was born and bred in Nashville. Memphis at a push.

Is that to me? I honestly thought I had. Nobody is more surprised than me that it didn’t show as a link! But thanks for correcting.

Thought the gentlefolk here might be interested in this long ( too long? ) interview with the producers of the documentary about Mr C’s greatest hit. Some of it is a tad…Californian…but if you’re up for a deep […]

The last time they played the Union Chapel ( pre Covid ) they had a lap steel player and it worked beautifully. They were great last week, again at the Union, sans steel, but could’ve done with a little s […]

Luke might cock a snook at that, but I’m entirely with you. Fabulous record.
I saw him a couple of years ago do a solo show at the Railway Workers Club in Brighton, which is every bit as unglamorous as it […]

Well, if VFM is what you’re after and you are in Brighton next Friday you can head down and see my band, Fluffmuffler, plus support from the excellent Fractured, at the Hope and Ruin for a fiver. That’s £2.50 per […]

Bloody love the HoL, and Terry Bickers is massively underrated. Incidentally, extremely loud the one time I saw them live. Like, ear pleadingly, rib cage shakingly cloud.

‘Battered’ doesn’t narrow it down that much (!) , but I think you might mean The Great Eastern? Another really nice spot.. What I wouldn’t give for a pub crawl round town at the moment.
