I always liked this version

I was using up leftovers this morning: Halloumi fried with chorizo in olive oil then eggs cooked in the residue.

Maybe have some Snoozy Choc instead?

Life’s a Riot…. still gets a regular spin. The video for Sexuality is good fun plus has Kirsty MacColl.

The Great Escape at around 39 minutes, where the water disappears through the cracks in the floor, Shawshank: newspaper clipping covering the hole in the wall. We really enjoyed it.

There are some surprising inclusions here, acts that I would have thought all contributors would at least tolerate. I try to take the view that anyone who ever got a record deal did better than nearly everyone […]

My wife has Greatest Hits Radio on at the moment and she’s not even in the room. If I’m honest, it’s not Great (SWIDT?) but better than Heart or BBC Sussex. Damned with faint praise…..

I’m more tolerant of older stuff, although Queen tries my patience, largely due to over exposure. Newer material is less easy to get on with, maybe it’s the production. No matter, if it’s on the radio, there […]

Comes across very well on the Rockenteurs podcast with Guy Pratt.

Last I heard, Dumpy was unwell. I very occasionally work in Brum with a guy who ran a local crew company and used Dumpy from time to time. About 5 years ago, he said that apart from getting on a bit, Dumpy’s m […]

I listened on Sp****y. Very good indeed.

As ever, it would be nice if the artists saw more of the money. I understand that many albums are unrecouped but I wonder if the likes of Fleetwood Mac get the same pittance for Rumours say? Surely one of the most […]

I was in Resident, Brighton a few weeks ago. They took over and knocked through to the adjacent unit a few years ago to make space for a bit of vinyl which now takes up about two thirds of the space. Given that […]

I always understood it to mean Watford Gap services

I think Hepworth said that most musicians are either much better off than you think or much worse off than you’d think. It’s a shit business.

I think I “just” have some frequency loss although I have to concentrate a bit harder and people facing me helps a bit too. Talkback headsets can be interesting, especially program levels. On the odd occasion I d […]

I had confirmation yesterday, if it was needed, that my hearing isn’t what it was. I was chatting to my son and his gf while waiting for my stove top coffee pot and he said “Your coffee’s nearly ready.” Apparen […]

There was a piece, probably in Word, maybe 15 or so years ago that said a artist only really needs around 1000 or so committed fans to sustain an ok income as long as that thousand buy music, tickets and merch. […]

I’ve been thinking about mortality and health over the last couple of years. There’s been quite a few deaths amongst people I know through work. Some have been no surprise: the one who smoked himself to death, rig […]
