From the videos I’ve seen, Frank Carter does a really good job. For those who still think Lydon is edgy, perhaps they should stay away. Frank Carter might not swear or blow his nose as well as Lydon does.

The older I get, the less revolutionary punk seems. It was fantastic at the time, I loved it. Most of the musicians today are happy to admit that they just wanted to be in a band. Punk made that possible. I […]

Ok it’s the Markolino Dimond Brujeria album.

I will ask them then. I’m confident I won’t have any competition if they get it!

RSD is something I have never participated in. Looking at the list, I see there is an album I want a lot, but I know that my local record shop won’t stock it. Is it as simple as asking them to get a copy, or do I […]

Not the collapse in their vote due to dissatisfaction with their performance in government?

How did the Tory vote in your constituency compare from 2019 to 2024 in terms of numbers and percentages?

The turnout at the last election was 60% – 3 in 5, which was one of the lowest ever. Of the 3 in 5 who voted, 33% voted Labour. So 1 in 5 of the electorate voted for a government which has a huge majority. Recent […]

I think that was the best Banshees line up. They were a superb live band, I saw them 11 times between about 79 and 81/82. I don’t think I had heard drumming like his before. I have no idea what he did after […]

I would only buy an LP or CD if I really wanted to own the physical product. If an album is available on CD I would buy the CD, but these days that’s not always the case. I have four rooms with CD players in my […]

I’m a fan of bandcamp too. When I buy an LP, which comes with a download, I burn a copy to CD. When the vinyl arrives, I can make a like for like comparison of the sound quality of the two formats. You know what? […]

I didn’t hear the Stooges until after bands like the Pistols and the Damned covering their songs piqued my interest. I didn’t think their albums sounded very good. When I hear them now, I think they sound great. I […]

The Island Jazz Jamaica label set an impossibly high standard with their first two releases, Below The Baseline and Dean Fraser’s Big Up. Both stand the test of time. My favourite album of 2025 was released in […]

Yeah, loads that I must check out.

She also married Cuban trumpeter Jesus Alemany, once of Sierra Maestra and later leader of his own band Cubanismo.

Bookfinder.com will give you the price other copies of the book are currently on sale for. It doesn’t mean that it’s the price they sell for. You can use the ebay Completed Items option for that. The prices in […]

The Pharoah Sanders album is high up my wants list. My local record shop quoted me £34 for the double CD, so I passed. Also up there is another never released live set, this time by by Rahsaan Roland Kirk, Seek […]

Are you checking his heart? His heart! I’m looking for his credit card..

One advantage Farage has is that most people don’t like or trust politicians. The turnout at the last election was one of the lowest ever, 60%. Labour got just under 34% of the vote, but got a huge majority. 4 in […]

Thanks. I have the Ethiopiques Vol. 4 which is as you say, superb. I also have a compilation on Strut which is really good. I think I will pass on this one.
