I’m convinced he came to our school around 1985, he was a presenter on TX, Saturday morning kids show, a feature on healthy school dinners. Was a one series only kids show, think after that it changed to No. 73 […]

TFPOY has been a desert island disc for me since the mid 80s. I clearly remember Sunday evening, with my dad, waiting my mum to come out of work, listening to the Top 40 run down. Its just a perfect […]

I’m a lazy boy, havent had time to read the thread, nor over on Hoffmans. I got the 5cd mp3 today. I dont like the new version, the vocals too high in mix, too dry. The echo removed or too far in background. I […]

I went to Fopp on Thursday too, Covent Garden, first trip into London in 2 years. Started in Flashback, near Brick Lane (superb, Iasos double vinyl, ultra chilled, ambient £15) Sister Ray Berwick St, Soho […]

Makes me glad for all the gigs i saw back in the 90’s, (yeah, big up the past why dont i.) it is a damn shame, last gig for me was The Damned at the Forum, few years back. There are cheaper gigs out there, ill be […]

Chart Music is wondrous, and there’s 60 episodes to listen back too. Currently i’m 2.5 hours into 6+ hours of episodes 60 and still talking about the first song in this episode of Top of the Pops (Dexys/1983) Essential.

Jack Bruce from around the 3:50 mark, altho everyone is soloing but still he is rather superb on this

Prefer the Anthrax cover, like the original a lot though.

The Trouble No More box might now be my favourite of the bootleg series (either that or another self portrait,) i am in no way religious but the music and band and performances are superb. So more that covers the […]

Like it, waiting to hear on new album. Positive news.

left Nirvana early too. Pissing with rain and tired and wasnt that exciting but was definitely there,

Led Zeppelin – Celebration Day (02 Arena 2007)
Nirvana – Live Reading 1992
The Stranglers – Friday the 13th Royal Albert Hall
Iron Maiden – Raising Hell (1993) Pinewood Studios, not sure it was a live album but […]

La Folie is a top album, Very bright, and Aural Sculpture too, Souls is a gem. Never really got into Feline, aside from Midnight Summer Dream and European female, rest of album leaves me flat,

Maybe thats one i […]

Word subcriber and been around since those days but dont post here often. dip in a few times per week. Alas with the WIYE and podcasts i download to my ipod but with no commuting my podcast listening/watching isnt […]

My wife will now that i’ve pulled out the valuable ones and put in a separate metal vinyl hard case. The rest, not sure, there will be some value there, probably a decent amount but the ones i know are worth […]

Goes away singing the theme tune……………………….

Ah a good time for this thread, only just seen it. I’ve been thinking the same, 11 years left on mortgage and wanting to start overpaying and see some value sat in my collection. I’m curious.

Most prized […]

Wondrous and yes, i miss him too.

Still makes me smile. This guy just cant be beaten. How to lose it properly.

yep these judges verdicts are truly ridiculous. Lenny Henry was a definite from the start. its a fun show but clearly they are told to give stupid answers. Stephen Fry? Not even funny.
