I accidentally caused a problem some years ago.
I reviewed a Chuck Prophet gig and used a photo of CP that I found out in cyberspace to illustrate it.
Apparently it was copyright and the photographer threatened to […]

She has a band, I’m sure.

What about Taylor Swift? She seems to sell an awful lot.

Oh, that’s nice.

Oh, that’s fun.

I can’t stand Alexander Armstrong’s chitchat on Pointless. For someone who is, I believe, a Cambridge graduate, and would potentially have a wide vocabulary, he seems hellbent on reducing adjectives of approbation […]

My wife had shocked me.
She has given up on Coronation Street. She has cancelled the Series Link.
She’s fed up with the grimness. The never ending stream of murders. The lack of comedy.

In Stackwaddy, I think Mark’s constant that’s brilliant refrain for something that seems to me bang average is a bit wearing.
But it’s only a few minutes of what is generally a very entertaining podcast, so I’m […]

Radio Times carried a feature on Nesbitt a few weeks ago. Within it there was a section devoted to his greatest hits for want of a better term.
It was under the subhead One Actor, Many Characters. I remarked to my […]

The problem with Train In Vain is that, apart from the title, there is no train imagery in the lyrics.

I’m still waiting for the first album from the folk singer who comes from near Oxford, Crowmarsh Gifford.

Here’s a great song by a band you’ve probably never heard of – The Westies (though their main man Michael McDermott might be known to some).

Last year I had a call during breakfast.

I put the phone down and got on with my breakfast. 10 to […]

I love Neil Young’s Unplugged version of Transformer Man. The original was on Trans, which is of course one of Neil’s most unloved albums (though I like it and think Sample And Hold is one of his best songs).

Back in the last century I recall reading a piece with a tabloid editor (or maybe one of the higher profile columnists) about how various celebs appearing in the press was all part of a mutual back-scratching […]

My wife is a big Van fan, so we probably have most of those.
I will have heard them, but I can’t think of any songs that ever stood out, leading me to think Hmm that sounds like it warrants further investigation, […]

Impeccable logic.
I think.

Avoiding that question, if water was dry we wouldn’t be able to drink it.

OMG, I read your Saville comment and though “Surely not!”
Then I watched the video and though “OMG Surely not!”.
He always seemed a down to earth sort of guy, but has he surrounded himself with Yes people? Are […]

Marvellous stuff, thanks.
Much as I like Jack Dee in the Chair, this reminds me that the Maestro will always be Humph.
