The Viz Profanisaurus must have 100 terms for this. Not yet mentioned:

Casting Churchill’s Reflection (aka lighting a bum cigar)
Building a log cabin

Mojo’s Maximum ’65 was a bit special. I was in my early 20s and it was a superb primer for digging beyond the obvious Beatles, Stones etc. One of those compilations that ends up costing a fortune with all the […]

Same here!

Tier 3 here but to be honest we’ve been doing click and collect shopping and avoiding other shops / eateries since the first lockdown ended so it really makes little difference. I would kill for a Costa right now […]

Recent outings have been patchy, but the first series of I’m Alan Partridge was a masterpiece. 6 perfectly realised episodes.

It’s the point where Thom stopped bothering with consonants and they lost me. But then I’ll always take a radio-friendly unit shifter over an artistic statement for the heads.

Who are these Beatles you speak of? Are they any good?

I remember hearing this for the first time & finding it ridiculously exciting, and I still love it today. Sadly nothing else in his catalogue comes even remotely close for me.

Billy Joel. Sunny Sunday afternoon, huge field of people roaring “Uptown Girl” and “We Didn’t Start the Fire”. Perfect.

In the Ghetto

Elvis:

Candi:

The King has been dethroned.

Honourable mention to Eric Cartman:

Neither had I until I read that interview, now I can’t unhear it. Sorry…

I recall an interview with the band shortly after this was released where they moaned that a musicologist had been in touch because their single sounded like Material Girl. Madonna’s skint writers must have been […]

There’s a laptop table called ‘Dave’ 🙂

When my youngest niece was 6 her class was doing a project about the 1960s. While visiting I told her some basic facts about the Beatles and threw in a flippant comment about George being “the moody one”. Guess […]

Been working from home for a week already, not really a problem for me as I usually do a day or two a week from home anyway. Not unduly worried by tonight’s announcement as we’ve known it was coming. Our big issue […]

The Fabs of course:

Ha! Me too!

I googled them recently to see if there’s any news (sadly not). What I did learn is that an academic I met at a Conference a couple of years ago was one of the band in that performance. Probably […]

No idea why but this instantly leapt into my head.

This particular performance makes me happy. Paul Heaton & Jacqui Abbott plus band rehearse Happy Hour in a hotel room.

I play this and everything’s going to be fine.
