Found an old Creative Zen player which is still in good condition but needs either XP or Windows 7 to manage the content. Fortunately I’ve got an old netbook which seems to do the trick. I’ve never owned an iPod.

Blimey Steve! Fingers crossed for your daughter (and you & Mrs F).

And ‘Yes, I Have Ghosts’ is the first new song from David Gilmour in 5 years and features the voice and harp playing of his daughter Romany (it says here).

Bought a 7th gen 160gb ipod classic from CEX last week, spent £6 on a cover and screen protector from amazon. Loving it. Still have 85gb memory spare. I am very happy with this, no apps, no phone calls, just […]

Erm…that’s the fifth different Biccies album on the list! I could almost do a half man half biscuit top ten. Thankfully I won’t.

Meanwhile, I forgot about the sleigh bells album. Probably should have put […]

That’s the fourth different Biccies album on the list.

Please don’t apologise, Paul! Otherwise I may describe what I have been listening to. No one would want me to get inspired to tell you all about my latest Norwegian boxset of vintage Hardanger yodelling.

I am […]

I have a sneaking suspicion that Kanye, who in far too many ways is cut from the same cloth as Trump (and a self proclaimed fan), has been put up to this. Grabbing a bit of the Democrat vote in the key states, no […]

Hard Again is a fine recommendation indeed, Tigger. But it’s from the classic year of 1977.

Pre Steve Harley? Or pre he sacked the first line-up and added his name and?

bon voyage!

Nice to see “The Disintegration Loops” making its debut in this poll. Amazing record.

“A handful of records” presumably doesn’t include Aerial or, shiver, the Album That Must Never Be Named”??
These are difficult times and we all must stick together. Remember, your vote counts (unless of course […]

I’m sorry to hear this @Paul-Wad. My divorce became final a few months back, and I’ve been living on my own since the end of January. There’s some sound advice in the comments here but one point I will add is that […]

Here’s a list, with links to each album:

My favourite is the John Coltrane from 1961, Bill Evans Trio’s Waltz For Debby and All My Yesterdays by the Thad Jones & Mel Lewis Orchestra. Tiny venue, seats max of two […]

Other than being asked to sign in, pretty much as normal thanks.

The pub has three small rooms and most punters were in the centre one where the ‘entrance’ door for a one way system was, so there wasn’t a lot […]

They were the very first band that I saw. it was supporting Cockney Rebel (pre Steve Harley and). I bought Axe Victim soon afterwards. I would only rate it as OK, but I was 14 and yet to work out that live music […]

Sounds like neither of us had an easy start, but I sometimes wonder if we’d be quite so determined – “bloody-minded”, as Mrs F sometimes puts it – were that not the case. Things like turning down better-paid jobs […]

So sorry to hear what you’re in the midst of, Paul. Like many on here, I’ve experience, both personal and professional of the awfulness that so often ensues. Without wanting to over-personalise or […]
