Belated birthday wishes, @fentonsteve. Might not be your taste, but there’s a lot to be said in favour of a decent tweed jacket. I’ve got four, all with their own “personalities”, just like my various acoustic […]

But, who is calling! Very tricky little construction there. Reminds me a bit of what was the name? This notional distance by means of more remote tenses for extreme politeness (=distancing). Kind of the way a […]

Good point with the statives there @Gary, where an exclusive and powerful bunch of verbs aren’t used in any “ing” tenses at all, so no I’m understanding or she’s been knowing or we’ll have been believing, etc. […]

PS How do you know about that piano solo being 45 bars long? I don’t even know how to count bars.

Okay Tiggs, you’ve made me listen to it again. Side one is solid gold the whole way through, loads of nice production touches, sonically daring (love the phasing on the guitar and coffee-jar percussion on Panic In […]

This has got to be some sort of clincher about how our pace of life has slown, that we’re listening to different versions of a classical piece and comparing them!

Let me spoil you with this, composed shortly before he (and Beethoven) died, almost 200 years ago. Schubert lived to 31, the latter 56. Stunning.

Well I was n-n-n-19 in 1974 and my trajectory was taking me away from the rock mainstream of Purple +Co. Steely Dan and Little Feat were already happenning. Already had Bitches Brew and Jack Johnson without […]

Top writing, Tiggs, you went into similar detail on Revolver a while back. In fact, Bowie at the time was a chart singles artist for me, buying an LP wasn’t any kind of consideration. Until I got this as a […]

All the best, Carolina and remember, people do tend to be decent, even if the government are wanting and, yes, do embarrass your country. Hope your treatment continues successfully and your arm clears up. Rootin’ […]

Dai, latest figures suggest 233 deaths for 4,000-ish cases in Britain. Germany has 75 deaths for 20,000-ish cases. Britain is 2 weeks behind Italy, Germany 3. Certainly the healthcare system continues to be […]

Here in Germany, lockdown has been a bit piecemeal because of the federal structure. People are remaining calm though, the supermarkets are well-stocked, the Chancellor is serious-minded, the government has even […]

Picked up, ages ago, a compilation LP of his hits, good stuff indeed. Still no place for it in the collection, though, because of its truly horrific cover: him looking silvery-haired and smug, with 2 handwidths of […]

Leo Varadkar, having not won the recent election, now has the role of caretaker Taoiseach. The Irish Mirror (slightly left) calls him “Tory Boy”. The state can certainly do with him now, his calm assurance, not […]
