Woman At War is an unexpected delight. My film of the year so far.

The magnificent Katie Jacoby occasionally plays a different kind of Flying V (actually its called a Viper). Normally found in the Ed Palermo Big Band and various jazz or classical ensembles she’s seen here […]

No love for Norman?

Don’t know if this was the theme song for IOW 69 but I was there and it got played.

Never much cared for The Darkness. Couldn’t stand the geezer’s voice and his stupid jumpsuits. They just came across as mostly a novelty act that soon lost it’s appeal. But there’s this… an instrumental that […]

So many great players listed so far and a great number of them definitely my cup of tea, but I’d like to mention someone who just got the sweetest sounds from his guitar and never seeing him live was a huge […]

Derek? Bonnie? Megan (Lovell of Larkin Poe)?

A good year I think. In no particular order:

Leave No Trace
You Were Never Really Here
A Quiet Place
A Simple Favor
The Secret Of Marrowbone
Incredibles 2
Three Billboards…
Lady Bird
They Shall Not […]

So here’s my hot seven for 2018:
1. Courtney Barnett – Tell Me How You Really Feel. (Having bought the Double EP, both of her albums , Lotta Sea Lice with Kurt Vile and Live at Electric Lady Studios all this […]

Good Vibrations as a sort of sanctification of the system. Also remember using Rocky Mountain Way in the past and maybe Stevie Ray Vaughan’s Say What.

CGYOMH. Cathy Dennis will be miffed.

Assumptions aside Villanelle is a psycho-professional assassin whereas Alice is a psycho-amateur. It would probably come down to their wardrobe choices though. Alice’s choice of wig could be a game changer.

I would welcome Cameron’s return purely so he can be tarred and feathered and run out of town as befits someone of his political status.

Agree about Jodie Comer in Killing Eve. Having recently watched the Luther box set on I-player I find myself fantasizing “Who’d win in a fight – Villanelle or Alice Morgan?”.

Here’s a couple I’m probably alone in suggesting around here.

Velvet Goldmine. I actually looked forward to seeing this piece of crap when it first came out, though I’d thankfully forgotten all about it until I […]

1st bought : 2 on same day actually. Kinks – The Kink Kontroversy, Vanilla Fudge
Last bought : Kurt Vile – Bottle It In
DID: Sorry but I believe being stuck on a desert island with only one album would drive me […]

Just a point. Blodwyn Pig was as much about Jack Lancaster as it was Mick Abrahams. So, unless there was a time when Jack played violin and had a perm (which he certainly didn’t in his previous band, Audience, or […]

Moby Grape – Can’t Be So Bad

Re Maron’s big music interviews. The Springsteen one was part of Bruce’s book “tour”. Marc has admitted he’d rather talk to people without a “product” being involved but the opportunity to speak to a superstar in […]

As usual the crippling burden of a Tory government and being live on the ITV did for us. Will we never learn.
