Boneshaker commented on the post, Albums of the year polls (but not the Afterword) – for reference 3 hours, 56 minutes ago
H’mm, Quietus are terminally hip and wilfully obscure aren’t they. I’ve heard of 8 of their top 100, haven’t listened to any of them. Here’s the Uncut list, which is slightly more accessible for those of us of a m […]

I haven’t travelled by train for over 20 years and would rather sit for hours in queues of petrol fumes, pay congestion charges, exorbitant parking fees and put up with any manner of other inconveniences rather t […]

Mein Kampf by Adolf Hitler. He wasn’t much of a woke lefty snowflake, but it’s a lengthy read seemingly in tune with the times. Doesnt’t end well though.

If Elton John duetted with Neil Young on 12 newly unearthed versions of Am Dill Danding recorded outdoors around a piano while they were both pissed in 1975 but finally released in 2024, it would not qualify for […]

At the moment I have the perfectly genuine excuse still guaranteed to have everyone backing away. “Sorry I can’t come – I’ve got Covid”.

You are wrong. That album was eligible for the 2023 poll. This year Neil has released a long lost 70s album containing slightly different versions of 12 songs we’ve all heard before on his other albums, but w […]

I regularly take the soft option and use Mrs B as my excuse – “Mrs B isn’t feeling well”, “Mrs B doesn’t like crowds”, “Mrs B just lot a leg in a freak accident”…..that sort of thing. Recently I was persuaded aga […]

That’s impressive. I was hoping that if we extended the deadline until Easter I might just scrape 20 entries.

Various gut related issues have put paid to any fondness for beer, though a pint of Theakston’s Old Perculier on draft used to be my tipple of choice. That said, I do like a sip of a nice craft ale every now and t […]

I reckon this installation in my kitchen could be worth millions. I’m open to offers.

Red Leicester mini cheddars? Bloody things are completely addictive.

Cheese is undoubtedly one of life’s greatest pleasures, and cheddar is the king of cheeses. For everyday use I like a nice creamy mild cheddar, although I’m partial to extra mature or cheddar infused with oni […]

An interesting editorial on the Americana UK website yesterday, some of which I have quoted below. “You know what? I would love to just not think about the United States any more. The whole continual p […]

So while we’re doing genres, yee, and moreover hah, here’s a selection of top notch westerns, including several of the spaghetti variety with more bullets than Trump’s security team could handle, and atrocious dubbing.

Sing in my Meadow was one of four albums in the Nomad Series. I wouldn’t say it’s the CJ’s best, but it’s certainly their grungiest and for that reason probably their least representative. It’s one I keep goin […]
