As soon as you mentioned a melodica and a great chorus, I thought “Bet that’s a Bazilian/Hyman song.”
And so it is.

Astonishingly, Stryper still “are”….
Almost certainly still ruddy awful.

I’m only kidding. She’s lovely.

I know they’re not trendy, and never have been since briefly in the last 80s, but surely the worst example has to be talking to virtually anyone about progmeisters and internet fan involvement pioneers […]

Me too.
Wonderful stuff.

We have a friend who just bends with the yummy mummy wind. Buble, Newton Faulkner, small-guitar ginger whiner Sheeran etc.
Can’t say I want to kill her, though.
Not for that, anyway.

Trust me, at times not all it’s cracked up to be.
Occasionally quite satisfying, but mostly a lot (and I mean a lot) of numbers.

Good shout, Sir.
One wonders how Michael (“Hint of shape”, repeat ad nauseum) Vaughan manages to do it, though…

I bought this album a bit on spec (I too like to live on the edge now and again) as she’d curated a “Tweet of the Week” on Radio 4.
I think it’s quite wonderful.

Currently in Noel Gallagher’s band?

Snowdrops: Volutes, nominated by Eyesteel (ambient ondes martinot)

I may have posted this before, but a former work contact was a musician of sorts, and knew I was into music, so he invited me a corporate do […]

No, he was my colleague until I left for the new job.
He’d never have done anything like that. Splendid chap.

A former colleague advised me when I told him I’d got a new job…

“Don’t fiddle your expenses and don’t shag your staff.”

Wise words I have kept to for 22 years.

Surely she must’ve been tempted in the 80s to call one of her offspring Audi?
I’ll get my coat…

Sky Atlantic. We watched it via a NOWTV stick.
