Yes, I miss Lamarr on the radio. If anyone’s interested you can find many of his old Radio 2 shows online at Gods Eternal Jukebox. No reggae unfortunately but God’s Jukebox, Shake Rattle & Roll and Alternative 60s […]

My taste buds detected a flavour of Cat Power’s The Greatest with a slight essence of Hall & Oates and even a smidgen of Steely Dan.

Hmm, I’m not a Hawley fan (odd exceptions) so that might explain it.

I bought the album on just listening to the title track above. It’s magnificent. Not so impressed by her earlier stuff mind you.

The Lark Ascending – Andrew Litton & Nicola Benedetti with The London Philarmonic Orchestra
Old Man (Neil Young cover) – The Wailin’ Jennys
Anthem For Old Souls – Chuck E Weiss
Workin’ For MCA (live) – Lynyrd […]

I have seen it claimed somewhere. I don’t read reviews apart from the first and last paragraphs. Maybe it was just the promotional blurb. Anyway, like I said, it ain’t.

Thought it was ok but far from the masterpiece claimed by some reviews. I found myself speculating on which films had “influenced” the makers even as I watched. Interstellar – yes, Event Horizon – yes, but in […]

Little Feat’s “Teenage Nervous Breakdown”

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.
