Or that the man in the tree is J R Hartley?

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.

Leon Patillo and Leon “Ndugu” Chancler in Santana, circa 1974.

Richard Coughlan and Richard Sinclair in Caravan.

John Siegler (bass) and John Wilcox (drums) in Todd Rundgren’s Utopia, mid-1970s.

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 […]

I […]

Bruce Dickinson writes: All ‘n All by Earth Wind & Fire? Never heard of it, pal.

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: […]

^ Sorry, I meant *punches air*. Always getting them mixed up.

Channel taken down in the last few hours for inevitable copyright infringements. It was over 40 years ago, suit dudes.
Wonderful while it lasted anyway.

*punches röyksopp*

No one in any of the Google hits went into any detail, which made me suspicious.

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 […]

Craig Brown’s parody of Jeffrey Archer’s advice for writers – ‘Fame, Sex, Money, Power’ (1987).

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 […]
