Me! 6 sides of vinyl so rather a lot but enjoyable and hardly difficult. Confusing I’d say especially as it gets chopped up to make it fit on those 6 sides. All India Radio and Rawalpindi my reason for joining in […]

Not only OHWs bur favourites and Number Ones:

Yeah, Mini, here we are again. October 6th. Hope you’re well.
Parp-parp indeed.

In that case, @duco01 , I’ll have Uncle Meat.

From just up the road, Wuppertal, happy birthday, Sal.

Well he wasn’t Archie Shepp, granted, but “crap sax”? Even watching out for an affordable copy of Chris Wood’s box set from a while back. Yeah, good lad was Chris.

There’s music of interest to be found on all Zappa works, including “The Man From Utopia” and “Thing Fish”. Then again, he didn’t exactly make it easy for you. Hawkfall’s OP nails it: there may be 100 Zappa albums […]

As a resident of Wuppertal for over 40 years, I can confirm that the Schwebebahn (=floating rail/ suspension railway/ overhead railway/ skytrain) is still in operation and is the preferred mode of transport for […]

Klugscheisser, in fact. Both guilty, nicht die Rede wert.
