I enjoyed this. Lovely little episode.

I think you are definitely right. And you can definitely sense a hard line being drawn after Scary Monsters. He wanted to be a pop star again.

What about Mrs Brown ‘s Boys?

What a great poem. I enjoyed that. I really need to read more Philip Larkin.

I don’t believe Hopkins does or says anything unless it is calculated to cause offence or draw attention to herself. So I don’t believe her (said in a Dylan voice).

I believe Graham Linehan though. I think he […]

I can’t think who you might be talking about… 🙂

I’m with you Eddie. I’m glad someone else said it first and I didn’t have to come on here and be the first naysayer! I found myself thinking exactly that while watching the performance last night – there wasn’t a […]

Oh good one. Yeah, surely they must have asked him at some point? Maybe give it a few years until his star dims a bit.

I think I now feel officially old, because I still think of iPods as new fangled technology that I am still suspicious of. Over the years I owned a classic and a couple of shuffles, and I frequently found myself […]

Supertramp.

Do I detect an American Psycho reference….? 🙂

There has been a run of recent retrospective shows on BBC Scotland which has reminded me (if I needed reminding) that he is the greatest standup the world has ever seen. I hate to analyse it, but it’s something to […]

Yes, from Wikipedia:

“Mason’s drumming was supplemented by Ray Cooper on percussion; when Mason was unable to perform the complex time changes on “Two Suns in the Sunset”, he was replaced by Andy Newmark.”

That was good. Backing singers are excellent.

How come The Final Cut didn’t figure higher in the recent 80-99 poll? He was robbed!

I think I am right in saying this was the song Nick Mason handed over the […]

Fascinating. Thanks for doing this.

I feel more divergent from the Afterword massive than ever now! I would never have thought Elvis Costello was as highly regarded. I kinda like a couple of his songs I’ve […]

The Nightfly??? I am vaguely aware of that album coming up every so often as a recommendation in Spotify, but I had no idea it was so highly regarded. Total shock. I was holding off scrolling down until I had […]

YES

I would have expected Out of Time to chart higher!

This is exciting. Looking forward to this.

Come on Haysi Fantayzee!!
