but it isn’t available now is it? I have it on vinyl and CD but just find it curious that it doesn’t seem to be officially available at the moment and isn’t even listed on his website

Great review – really looking forward to hearing this. Meantime why oh why is Tupelo Honey still not available at all?

Bet you’re looking forward to all the 50th Anniversary ‘one of the greatest albums of all time’ hoopla later this year aren’t you?

This sums up that time for me more than anything else

Fitterstoke beat me to it. Creedence released four absolute pearlers, all of which were effectively double A-sides. This was the one that got them a UK number one.

No one puts on shows or gigs of performers anymore. Oh no. They curate them.

And mystical when they mean mysterious

Just listened to this on the commute into work and what a great thing it was – thank you both. Poem was great and I loved your final words Carolina on Stimpy, James Blast and your own health. Great to hear that […]

Razorlight, anyone? Though I accept that it’s a moot point as to whether they were ever credible in the first place.

It has. But Graham Gouldman still tours around the country as 10cc, playing the hits and selling out 1500 – 2000 seat concert halls. So there are still a fair number out there who remember.

Yes;saw him and Roger McGough perform it in Liverpool last year; lovely concert.

Oh great Colin, thanks for posting. Will certainly have a listen. The Mike Hart record also has some bonus tracks from both The Liverpool Scene and The Roadrunners. The latter played The Cavern and Hamburg along […]

Ooh, the Rosalia clip was me I think, and the fact that I have introduced Locust to something when she has introduced me to the likes of the great Anna Ternheim is very modest payback but gives me inordinate pleasure….

I find the idea that the melody, riff or hook of a pop song is likely to be – or has to be – completely original and never done before somewhat quaint. If that rule was rigorously applied and all music which built […]

One of the few classical musicians who was both deeply respected within the classical music world, and was also a popular household name. The Morecambe and Wise sketch is timeless of course but he did other […]

Oh that’s brilliant; made me laugh out loud. Great book, of course. But that’s a hell of a lot of car journeys…

Yup. My only quibble would be with his statement ‘many Tories don’t give a stuff about the people of Northern Ireland.’ I’d replace ‘Tories’ with ‘MPs across the House’. One of the reasons I will always have som […]

Good to see you Mr Moose. Things have been awfully dull around here. I hope we’re going to see some gratuitous sex and violence…..
