That’s interesting Feedback. I was listening to Girl Called Eddy’s new one yesterday and thinking on one track (can’t remember which) how much I was getting Prefab Sprout vibes!

Lovely lilting melody with laid-back vibe and hints of Joni, with atmospheric lyric and Karen’s warm golden vocals.

Extremely interesting and entertaining to hear all about Colin’s life and music and Twang’s contributions too. It is very impressive you have done all that “ringing up” to make so much happen, without even having […]

If Armageddon arrived and all that was left was some tinned goods and a Frey Bentos Veg Balti I would only force it down in The Last Resort. I think this flavour must Take it To The Limit. (However if they made a […]

Oh ok then if you insist. I will have to rely on Derek and the Domino’s.

I also use my address book to create completely fictitious people and disguise my pin numbers for things within their phone number. I don’t know if I thought this up myself or read it anywhere. Obviously you have […]

Yes it is an ancient tome full of hieroglyphs and runic writing. Very rare nowadays. (See also paper diary, paper calendar, landline corded phone. I live in a previous era!)

I only know my own mobile number, but I do have everyone else’s written down in an address book rather than trusting all the data to just technology.

How awful and scary for you and Mrs B, and family. Hope she has continued recovery during the coming year.

Well, making the one-to-one podcast with Twang was definitely a major highlight. Many of my friends and family listened to it and discovered things they didn’t know about me and my love of music, and we had lots o […]

It was disappointing as their last record 2015 No Sad Songs was so good.

Terrific!

Great chat, guys, very enjoyable listen. Sounds like Feedback is suffering with FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) and Twang, I am hearing the world-weary tones of Peggy Lee singing “Is That All There Is?” when you […]

Am really glad you chose the Ian Noe,duco. I rated a lot of the songs on it, he has a great voice too, as you say, and it only got a measly 6 out of 10 review, either in Mojo or Uncut can’t remember. It d […]

A new John Southworth album! This is tremendous news which has somehow eluded me. Thanks for alerting me, duco. His songs appeal to me in the same way too, the album Niagara particularly.

I don’t think this has been a vintage year for the type of music I like. Next year promises to be much better with releases from Nadia Reid, Bill Fay, The Weather Station, A Girl Called Eddy, The Secret Sisters t […]

Lovely to see and hear them ‘live’, thanks for posting.

Yay – a vote for the Maes (even if it isn’t in your top 20). Do put a track on your Spotify list.

Have put it on my Wishlist!

Gosh didn’t know Zervas and Pepper had released new album. Thanks Niall, will look it up.
