We scraped into the Premiership a couple of seasons ago via the playoffs but tried to stick with the same squad and Russell Martin tried to stick with same tactics from the Championship. We may have got a […]

Thanks @freddysteady Not been a great week to be a Saints fan to say the least.

This is an interesting question as I am a Southampton fan. But no – won’t be changing

No Mike Ronson means no Moonage Daydream which is one of the greatest solos ever played and my personal favourite. More obscure but just as good is his solo from I’d Give Anything To See You No a bad list in […]

Don Estelle and Windsor Davies – Whispering Cheeks

If you grew up in a village in West Somerset in the 80s then Taunton was a hive of cosmopolitan sophistication.

I used to say that the song I heard my mate’s band playing and which kick started my journey to being a musician was Blitzkrieg Bop by The Ramones. It was actually Run to You by Bryan Adams.

LL Cool J – Mama Said Knock You Out Specifically when the opening Sly sample stops, there is a brief pause before LL shouts ‘Don’t call it a comeback’ and the Funky Drummer beat drops. Very exciting.

Absolutely, that would have been fantastic

Not inconceivable that Jimi Hendrix could have still be with us all this time, and just imagine what he could have done since 1970. Collaborating with Miles, Herbie Hancock as he moves more towards jazz rock in […]

Thunder Road – appreciate this was mentioned earlier, but not regarding the reference to the late 80s rock band. Ring The Alarm – Tenor Saw

This is a great article about Hackman in The Poseidon Adventure: I’d forgotten that Gene was apparently quite a handful on the set of Royal Tenenbaums although Wes Anderson expecting him to turn up for the […]

I’d like to suggest this late 90’s powerpop cracker from The Shazam

Right at the end of Electrolite there is a pause before Michael Stipe sings ‘I’m Outta Here’. ..which as it turned out was actually the case for Bill Berry.

Quite so.

That would be me I think (unless someone else has done something similar), did a few bits and pieces with Patrick post Stangelove and with The Aeroplanes and a couple of other things around Bristol before that

You could go for Thunderstruck but I think this song wouldn’t be out of place on Highway to Hell and this – which I think was Jane’s Addiction’s comeback in the early 2000s is as good as anything from Ritual.

Rainer Ptacek One of the first people to fret behind the slide to get minor chords, Sonny Landreth does this as well. If you’ve not heard of him before. He originally was in Giant Sand before leaving the band […]

It’s hard to understate the impact this album (and Fools Gold) had on me, and also their interviews of the time as a 16 year old. Growing up there was still a huge amount of tribalism among my friends inherited […]
