I can’t get too excited about comebacks like Pulp and Suede. I am sure the music is decent but they are associated with a certain period in my mind that is over. A song that sticks out for me is Subway by […]

Your houses are made of sand. You must pay rebuilding costs. If you roll a 6 you get a 9. You hear your train a coming. Advance to Kings Cross Station.

Fool To Cry grabbed me when I saw them doing it on TOTP. Like soul but with the Stones attitude and rock tinge. The best thing on this record. I never really got into the rest of it but I might give it another go. […]

I like some new music, like that recent album by x. But that came out 10 years ago.

Obviously I meant their surnames sound the same when spoken. Surely that was clear. 🙄

Patti Smith and Robert Smith still sound the same. Whether that’s a good thing depends on your personal preference.

Most threads get some kind of reaction even if no one really knows what the point is. They are just glad to have some content to push around. What’s wrong with Billie Eilish anyway?

Quite a lot free on YouTube, including episodes from Arena like this on Polystyrene. Very touching. I look at punk these days and I find it quite sweet. There’s also The Wonderful And Frightening World Of Mark […]

I’ve seen so many I can’t remember them all. I find they can be worth seeing even if you’re not mad about the act in question. Don’t Look Back is one of the best since it was early on and DA Pennebaker had full […]

The Stones have so many of these things. When Mick Taylor comes in with his Santanaesque licks on Can’t You Hear Me Knocking. The drums coming in on Sister Morphine. Going up a gear on 100 Years Ago with such a […]

If we took away all the overblown, pretentious songs with odd structures and questionable lyrics we’d all be the poorer for it, indeed we’d lose some of the best of pop music. That was what was good about the […]

Has anyone said Sweet Child Of Mine?

Creep when Johnny does his thing.

Many of us hope for a late resurgence.

Try and persuade a lapsed AW member to make an inflammatory comment by proxy or make something up…so and so wrote to me… Say it’s your birthday or you are seriously ill, a close relative has died. You’ve […]
