Cardiacs. Tim isnt dead thankfully – but devastatingly will never play again.

We had them too. I painted my flap black as a first prep stage before painting the Floyd DSOTM prism. I never actually got around to painting the prism so mine was just minimalist black – predating Spinal Tap by some years

… and “song for the asking” and “keep the customer satisfied”. Actually swap Greatest Hits for Bookends and Bridge and you’d be good. (Nobody needs to hear Sound of Silence again).

I’ve just realised I dont have any Elvis at all among my 1000 odd records, cds and tapes. Not even a saved spotify playlist. Ah hang on – I have a copy of Suspicious Minds on 45 which I think I must have stolen […]

“The answer is no” – is regarded as problematic. No means no

Blimey. Just looked up the lyrics for My Sharona and your right – its all a bit suss. Ive heard this song a hundred times more than I ever wanted to, but never bothered listening to the lyrics – figuring its […]

My current fav – “totes inappropes” – which I use daily

Baby, Scary, Sporty, Ginger and Posh

Strewth – “mateship” nearly made it into the constitution – and would have done if some bloody sheilas hadn’t whinged so much.

Another vote for Codenames. Most popular game in my house and we have lots. Even my eight year old can play relatively well.

I also have the original cd – although a rabbit we were “rabbit-sitting” for some years ago took a dislike to it and urinated on it – so a rabbit-wee-soaked version is probably worth less,

Not funny – but on point. Robert Wyatt with a song with one of the saddest songs of all.

My immediate thought – “where the f*** is Jean de Florette. You’ve got to be f***kin’ kidding. F***ing philistines”.

Apart from Inside Out was very original

I’ve told this before – but I completely ignored REM because I thought they were REO Speedwagon. It wasn’t until my mate Mark put me right around Document that I got healed.

My Goodness. How wonderful. I was a blubbering mess. I missed Cardiacs all together in the 80’s and 90’s until I heard “Sing To God” on the “freak zone”. I immediately turned into a crazed evangelist, stopping […]

I really didn’t know about Peter Norman’s story until the film Salute was made in the 2008 or thereabouts. I remember telling the story to my 10 year old daughter some years later, and astonishingly she chose […]

the whole alphabet again. Genius lyrics
