Saw it on YouTube not so long ago where it briefly popped up. Not the gloomy, squabbling document I was led to believe. Actually quite positive and enjoyable. The passing of time changes perspective. Get Back was […]

I think Cohen can be pretty detached and ironic in his songwriting. He’s seen it all before, he’s not impressed. He’s often quite droll, resigned to the worst in humanity.

She has a mass of devoted fans who would just be overwhelmed to see her at a festival even if the performance didn’t come across in terms of her singing but they are not too bothered of course. I saw she was […]

There’s a great show from 1984 Capitol Theatre from the time of The New Sensation album. He plays with a great band featuring Robert Quine doing hiss special thing. Reed seems on good form, drolly joking around. […]

I prefer pre-80s Lou even though it’s hit and miss. He sounds better in that mellow style. Coney Island Baby, the song, has that laid-back feel. Later in his career he gets more strident and he’s got something […]

It’s like a sheep whisperer only the hearder is listening. You may wonder what I am bleating on about. So do I.

I am thinking of honing down my collection to one single. I’ve had it with all these overrated acts, these awful rock legends. I’d be happy if I never heard them again. I’m thinking something fresh and different, […]

My sense of The Waterboys is of an attempt to enhance ok material with a seemingly passionate and enthusiastic performance as compensation and furious fiddle work.

I’d say stop at Sleeps With Angels but the 69 into 70s material is the best. After SWA there are good things here and there but not really of the same calibre. I mean I enjoy the Barn stuff, especially experienced […]

Can you shift up a gear when you are just turning on the ignition?

I overstate it a bit. I like Martha and Your Mother Should Know out of those. But why not more of the adventurous stuff? Why just one on an album? I guess supporters will say the diversity is a strength. Not […]

I am aware but other acts had a more cohesive style, like The Kinks for example. Nostalgic, and a little old fashioned at times but nothing that doesn’t work with the rest. The Beatles have stunning […]

For every step forward there was a step back to twee, quaint old style music hall and something to not frighten the audience – thank you Paul. Great! They took a risk. Shame about the other pap. It was really […]

New Order – Perfect Kiss. A performance in real time. A bit tense. Makes a great video.
