Mine was the Bristol show that features on the DVD. I must admit I still find Jon Davison’s impersonation of Anderson a little disconcerting. Nothing actually wrong but I found him a little too convincing at times […]

Eventually there will be no qualifiers, everybody will be in the finals. 70 groups of 3. Only the absolute worst three eliminated before the next round of 69 groups of 3. Voila perpetual world cup finals. Perhaps […]

Finally a follow up to that most glorious of rackets Celebration Rock – now almost 5 years old.
The new Japandroids album – Near To The Wild Heart Of Life – is a mere 16 days away. Just another 2 weeks after that […]

I knew I’d ended my self imposed exile for a reason. Pleased to have touched a chord sir fox.

In 1970 I was yet to discover any music that hadn’t been in the charts. In August 1971 everything changed for me when the top 10 suddenly featured Curved Air, The Temptations, T Rex, Family, Hurricane Smith, John […]

Current role – make much of professional reputation and experience to cruise the final 5 years of worklife
One previous role – get in car, take moaning call from boss, drive 100+ miles, listen to moans of client, […]

Come come, I wasn’t entirely comfortable admitting that his career stretched as far as Let’s Dance.

Northampton hasn’t been the same since they demolished the breathtakingly ugly bus station. Mind you the sheer horror did inspire Bauhaus for which I’ll always be grapefruit.

Not as miffed as Edward! After an absence of 15 years they’ve reunited with a cracking folk/reggae mix. Seeing them live is strongly recommended as they truly fill the stage with fun and strong original tunes. […]

I’ve always liked being out of step so the fact that that I voted for none of the top ten and only one of the top 30 is quite pleasing. However to be the only person to have voted for Band of Skulls just isn’t […]

Thanks Tiggs. I’ll redo the list to make it easier because El Vy has been disqualified since I posted too (thanks Badartdog!)

Unexpected presents included 2016 albums by SubRosa, Bon Iver, M83, Wytches and Yak. All being consumed at regular intervals in the corghouse.

Hey Tiggs – Is it too late for a significant edit? Santa has visited and I find myself with 4 new albums that weren’t on my radar but would sit very nicely in the upper reaches of my list. I’ll understand it it is […]

Hope this isn’t too late to edit.
Delete KOL.

1. Undertones – Get Over You
“Dressed like that you must be living in a different world”

2. Punishment of Luxury – Puppet Life
“Once I had my own mind but in your sewer I was […]
