Like all schoolteachers, it was a stark reminder than we got into the job for the connections with people. It was like teaching with all the good parts taken out. Currently, we’re managing behaviours in 17 and 18 […]

Those dollying shots from behind the backline about 4’50” remain killer.

DanP commented on the post, "Spotify sucks, so now what?" 2 months, 2 weeks ago
Vinyl for dedicated listening for me, and Apple Music for non-committed background auditioning and other streaming. The main discriminator for me with Apple Music is their hosting of surround mixes. Given that […]

The Beato/Yacht Rock WarsI very much enjoyed the Yacht Rock documentary. I’ve never liked that kind of music – probably because of its ubiquity growing up – […]

DanP commented on the post, Simple Minds: Everything Is Possible 3 months ago
I always feel dutybound to defend Street Fighting Years when the Minds come up. Yes, it’s a few songs too long, and Steven Lipson’s production is a little of its time, but think it’s inherited some of its […]

DanP commented on the post, How many of the Massive have you met? 3 months, 3 weeks ago
Does a couple of glimpses of Mousey on the TV count? I can’t speak for the others in the Antipodean contingent, but I’ve always felt my geographical far-flungedness (along with the time delay) lends the good […]

DanP commented on the post, Should young people have heard of U2? 4 months, 4 weeks ago
That’s a good question (and I’m speaking as one of the site’s small handful of unapologetic U2 fans). Many older acts have remained on the cultural radar with the young – Fleetwood Mac, Oasis, The Fabs – via the […]

DanP commented on the post, The Church (the band) 5 months, 2 weeks ago
I can see several site members emerging, meercat-like! “You rang?!” Quite a few phases, labels and line-ups in the band’s long history, so there’s a lot to choose from, but it’d be a rare soul that listed any […]

"[Don't] Show Your Working."This morning, the car bluetooth randomly threw on “Twisty Bass” from Neil Finn’s very good (but overlong) Try Whistling This album. […]

A very interesting read. I didn’t know how much he’d done., only really knowing him from ‘Short Note’ with Matt Finish which was an FM staple back in the day.

DanP commented on the post, Hope I Get Old Before I Die 6 months, 2 weeks ago
I feel The Afterword appears to be moving slowly but steadily toward the ‘acceptance’ stage of grief after we lost the magazine. As a latecomer to the magazine, and having grown up outside the UK, where Hepworth […]

DanP commented on the post, Oasis 6 months, 3 weeks ago
The most recent onstage line up of High Flying Birds is pretty nimble. And given that many of them were in the most recent Oasis line up, I think the 2025 band will be a lot better than the Guigsy/White/Bonehead […]

DanP commented on the post, Martin Phillipps R.I.P 7 months, 2 weeks ago
Submarine Bells is a Top 10 album for me. I return to it often. Beautiful but a bit quirky and off-kilter. Soft Bomb had its moments but it was overlong – CD bloat. But I believe Mitch Eater was involved? No – […]
