We’ve not fired up our laptop since pre-covid times, similarly the printer. In the unlikely event that something needs to be printed, I email it to my work address and use the work printer, a rare event. That […]

Sub-culture 1963 Elegia 3 great ones just because

It’s deceptive because most of the JD song, what most people think of, is not like UTHB at all. It’s just that crashing loud guitar and drums intro which comes back later I think for a quick reprise. JD said they […]

These Days deserves a mention.

You know you don’t have to choose.

You’d think he’d like the fact that there are lights that never go out.

UK singer Sienna Spiro first album debut in top 10 US chart. I wouldn’t have known who she was expect she performed at the Rosendal Garden Party in Stockholm recently which we were attending. Something of a […]

Lana Del Rey Born To Die 365 weeks on the album chart. It’s the album chart but not as we knew it.

Oasis? Who they?
