Hi tigger – hope all is well with you. Should be a Spotify link in the first comment above. Let me know if it’s not showing up and I’ll try again. I never could make this site work.

I have probably oversold all of them! If there’s one thing that’s clear by now, it’s that it’s much easier to make music sound exciting with the written word than to actually make exciting music.

Sadly, I don’t really “do” albums these days. You could chuck in a vote for the Christine EP, but that’s the only thing I could reliably claim to have repeatedly listened to end to end this time round. Good lu […]

Will this work?

I haven’t been on here in a long time, but Diego Maradona has died and I need to write something about him or I won’t feel right.

I know Maradona enjoys an – ahem – mixed legacy in this country. He’s a cheat, he […]

Hey KFD. I’ll confess that I’d intended this to be a hit and run job, but I could never refuse you, so voila! Hope all is well.

Movies I Enjoyed in 2019

Parasite – Movie of the year, hands down. Superb […]

Oh Gary… I’ve missed you and your dreadful ability to always be on the wrong side of the great taste divide most of all.

Hello, hello.

Just dropping in briefly – I got an email notification about this thread, had a quick glance and thought it might be helpful to add my tuppence as to why I’ve not been posting these last few […]

Be completely honest – if John Oliver had a set of views diametrically opposed to your own (let’s say, anti gun control, anti abortion rights, pro Trump), and presented them in the style he does above, you’d wan […]

Oh yikes. I don’t think these are very good.

Loved the Archandroid, so hope the album is better.

Finally got round to Wind River this evening – very good indeed.

Another great post.

Cheers, Niall. I’ll try to see this on the strength of that review. Fantastic band.

It’s a cartoon country, but good luck to them producing anything as witless and half-baked as this:

I’m not sure the Prohibition is the most apt comparison.

For me, the American obsession with the right to bear arms is rather similar to the island mentality still so prevalent in the UK. It makes no practical […]

This is a brilliant post – very well said.
