Just listened to this. It’s really very good indeed. And yes, that bass player deserves some royalties for the arrangements!

Leave Rolf Harris on albums I say.

This Stalinist revision of music history is completely hypocritical and stupidly selective. You can buy Mein Kampf for £6.99 on Amazon (90p on the Kindle!). I note that […]

King Crimson didn’t mention it, no. Fripp doesn’t even have a microphone so it’ was a banter free zone.

Count me in the Michael Marra fan club too.

Blowtorch is lovely. Jules sounds like a real talent.

Astonishingly @Feedback_File they were also the 3rd band I ever saw – on that same tour in Croydon – and almost in that order: Genesis opened, followed by Lindisfarne with VDGG as the headliners. I think that the […]

Oh OK. That’s good news. Thanks.

Almost missed this. I think I saw it mentioned here.

Anyway, we went last Sunday – 3.30 slot. It was absolutely brilliant. We had to be thrown out at the end. Downside of that was the shop was closed and we […]

I’m not sure 2018 has been a great year for festivals. We went to Lunar which was poorly attended and largely underwhelming musically, save for the Unthanks and – arguably – Damo Suzuki. Bestival was rained off […]

“Early one morning the sun was shining, I was lying in bed”

Tangled Up In Blue

“The last time I saw Richard was Detroit in ’68”

The perfect set up line by Joni Mitchell.

I wouldn’t base your beliefs on a fictional TV drama…

Still, interesting range of subjects here: Divinity, afterlife, alien encounters, apparitions, Nessie.

I was intensely interested in this stuff as a young […]

Led Zeppelin II greatest, Houses Of The Holy worst.

Hey, I like TMR! Really.

And Imperial Bedroom is Declan’s imperial phase. KOA is EC’s Atlantic Crossing LP.

Shadows In The Night is the best of the three “Sinatra” rekirds @Lodestone of Wrongness. I could only listen to the overlong, repetitive and deeply unimaginative Triplicate once. There’s a case for Knocked Out […]

Well I never really wanted to do anything except read books and listen to music; which is kind of what I do now I’ve retired.

I did know this guy who got a dream job back in the 80s. There was this chairman of […]

There’s a Drifters record I have somewhere that has a totally lame chugging guitar bit in the middle. It just sounds like they were going to insert a sax solo or something there but simply forgot.

I think it’s […]

I did a similar thing for my 50th birthday in 2005. My hero Jackie Leven kindly agreed to perform for a very modest fee. I rented a couple of rooms above a local pub, borrowed a PA from a mate and corresponded […]

There were two nights at the NEC in 81. I went to the second, the last night of the European tour. We had tickets right at the back.

We were utterly shocked at just how great the show was, even from the gods. […]

I came across Olivia Chaney at one of those Joe Boyd curated Nick Drake evenings at Birmingham Symphony Hall a few years ago, She was the highlight and I bought her first album then. It took a few listens to sink […]

Great list! Must check out the Meal Ticket songs – I don’t think I have heard them at all.

Thanks for taking the trouble to post the full list.
