I haven’t watched the programme – it would infuriate me too much. But you have a point… Public broadcaster wastes public money in Maldives to expose a man abusing his public position by activities in the […]

Perhaps in a similar vein, I always that the chorus for Urban Cookie Collective’s ‘The Key’ was fantastic – a brilliant piece of words and melody… but they were clearly so carried away with it that they forgot […]

There’s an album?!?

Similar to the Miss Dynamite reference, I would suggest that the ONLY memorable bit in this U2 song is another two-note/one interval bit – where Bonzo sings ‘Feee-eeel’ at 50-52 seconds, and again when that bit […]

Are you sure that wasn’t Brian Harvey – uttermost sideways-baseball-capped-berk from East 17?

Can anyone recall anything at all about Miss Dynamite apart from that ‘Miss Dyna-mi-TEE-EEE’ bit? That’s basically one two-note section of a song – one unexpected interval.

I don’t know how he remembers all of this…

Was Johnny Cash’s ‘I’ve Been Everywhere’ the original? It was a big hit for Lucky Starr in Oz…

There was a ghastly period when BareNakedWordies and those two geeky guys with the accordion seemed to be happening – really annoying wordy songs. That scuzzy looking guy singing about Mrs Jones – another wordy […]

Very good! Incidentally, opening track ‘Rebel’ features Keith Richards on guitar.

She also sang in Quintessence’s ashram choir at their Albert Hall concert in 1970.

I once worked at a place where a woman called Tara always seemed to be organising leaving do’s for people. Nobody else seemed to realise how funny this was 😀

HEARD: I’ve mostly been listening to, compiling, EQing and putting into montages recordings by various mid 90s Belfast acts. I was involved in that scene, writing for a local paper and organising some multi-artist […]

One of the greats.

Rather than start a new thread, I thought I’d share my latest archaeological haul from mid 90s Belfast here…

Back then, the counterweight to Norman Boyd’s colossal cauldron of epic, molten rock with Stonefish […]

Thank you Vulpmeister 🙂 Yes, Iain is Paul’s brother. He’s had some success as a co-writer with various pop people – which seems to be his main thing these days.
