Re AP’s chat about artists not getting on with Rundgren, the New York Dolls were happy for him to produce them again in 2009, and I think he’s produced The Pursuit of Happiness and The Tubes twice. Jim Steinman […]

It was part of the original running order that Rundgren designed for the album, and although a Virgin rep had said the song might get flak from religious halfwits, Partridge’s concern was that his song hadn’t done […]

Brown’s book is just a curated mish-mash of facts, half-truths and fibs from existing Beatles biographies, with occasional forays into unamusing fictional asides. He isn’t a Beatles aficionado and the book is next […]

I was really scraping the barrel with that last one, and then I remembered Ian Gillan and Ian Paice, still together in Deep Purple today.

For the last time, Pandora’s the babysitter. My wife is Terpsichore.
I told you all this at the anti-Trump protests.

Ukelele and ukulele are both correct. But Pandora says it’s all about the handpan now.

You’re probably right. I can get a little sensitive at Nyro being so often overlooked.
WBB is at least a song that’s difficult to completely spoil in a cover version, unlike some of her more personal and […] -

Well said. Laura’s original version came 3 years before The 5th Dimension’s cover, and it’s a pity that the likes of Billboard are referring to it as a 5th Dimension song in publicising Morrissey’s album.
I […]

Glad you rated Laura Nyro’s album so highly, Tony. Elton John was a fan – he got the name of the album a lot more wrong than you did 😉 , confusing it with New York Tendaberry: […]

Haven’t seen his show, but there are a lot of references to the giraffe joke online that don’t repeat the joke. I’m half-suspecting it’s a ruse, and that Gorman has instructed his audience to refer to a […]

That’s really unfair. One of Archer’s famous writing tips is to “get that first sentence right”, as illustrated by the opening lines in four of his books:
– ‘Damn your bloody guts,’ said Fraser, the gun still […]
