I’ve never made it to the end of a Pink Floyd album…..it’s like listening to paint dry.

Revolver (perfect, chiming guitar pop hinting at things to come with TNK, string quartets and Sitars)

Sergeant Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band (psychedelic musical paintball explosion)

The White Album […]

Personally speaking, Bringing It All Back Home is the only Dylan album (thatI’ve heard) that I can sit through from beginning to end.

I just don’t ‘get’ him…….I’ll get my coat.

Check out the Vox Lim […]

No, your right – AMC never troubled the charts or had a very high profile. More of a cult following (always great live).

A string of great albums, fantastic songs, lauded by Rolling Stone magazine……

I know….it was kind of surreal. Apparently The Smiths played there too, but I missed that one.

Chuck Berry. My first ever gig. 1982(ish). In of all places, Irvine Magnum.
Me 17 with a hall full of Teds (where did they come from?).
An hour with a pick up band and then off on the dot.
He doesn’t seem […]

I thought both The Singer and Bad Penny Blues were just crying out for a TV adaptation. I’ll need to check out Weirdo now….

The Singer & Bad Penny Blues by Cathi Unsworth.
I’m also enjoying Carrie Brownstein’s auto biography at the moment, Hunger Makes Me A Modern Girl

Cheers. Thanks for the heads up. I missed that release first time around.
carabara commented on the post, best lyric ever 2 years, 8 months ago

No, you’re not alone. Speaking as an old school R.E.M. nut, I recall being really puzzled/disappointed/upset even when I first heard OOT back in 1991. It just didn’t sound like R.E.M. to me.
In the pub I’ve been […]
