I really like the Yardbirds, but effortlessly the least interesting thing about them is they had Clapton yadda yadda in their line up. The most interesting thing is they had Keith Relf, Jim McCarty and Chris […]

Sport Rather pleased Notts. pipped Surrey to the County Championship (I can’t stand Alec Stewart), otherwise it’s me 28th football fixture tomorrow, not bad for 4th October! TV Dancing’s started on Saturdays, […]

Glad Europe won, who wouldn’t be, even right-thinking Americans, but I’m with the great Tom Watson who rightly declared he was embarrassed by the host nation. Didn’t watch a second of it, and I ‘do’ sport.

But hold on… I thought Donald Trump’s America was blah blah blah. Hate the Ryder Cup, glad it’s over. Great result. Tell you what, Fromage won’t be happy.

Maybe Trump should have played? He’s great at golf. Rugby now has its own ‘In the hole’, it’s ‘He knocked it on, he knocked it on, he knocked it on etc. etc…’ Might have a word next time I hear that, it’s […]

Rather pleasingly got ‘Dame Judied’ at football today but, not to worry, the result gave me ‘wowzers in me trousers!’ Saw it a second time a few weeks ago, and it was even better then. It’ll be in my top 3 at the […]

If there are extra three CDs (no, make that eighteen), and four DVDs of Paul Morley telling me how important all of this is – I’m most certainly ‘IN’… … but I demand to pay at least £3,000 extra for that […]

Got it. Only for mug punters!

You’re being coy… how much?

Pet Sounds. I don’t get this ‘people don’t listen to albums anymore’ spiel. For a start 90% of pop music lists seem to be about albums, not individual songs or singles, and 90% of Uncut/Mojo/RC Specials focus […]

I take that as a yes… or maybe a case of Wow. So that’s what that song was all about.

… and then Scott gets all the praise at the end!

I’d love to have gone to this but the two showings at the local cinema are on Saturday afternoon and Tuesday evening… a.k.a. football ‘and’ football!… a job for International Rescue, I’d have thought. Tell […]

I read that right, yeah, £23 for ‘one’ CD?

My favourite episode is ‘The Builders’. Basil marching off with the gnome… ”Just off to see Mr. O’Reilly, dear!’ Here’s a thing, in one episode (might be the first one) Basil’s reading a pools coupon and so, […]

Exactly the right time for me, but when exactly did a 2-CD (no interest in 8 CDs of such a concentrated period by anyone) become a £30 purchase? The 2019 Bootleg Series release (the Nashville Skyline one) cost […]

There’s a brilliant clip in that famous 69 documentary of Gene Vincent in Britain. They’re warming up in a basement in London somewhere, and the uncouth guitarist next to him starts to make a ‘very’ loud noise […]

Still a bit confused. Tommy Ten Names’ football team – wot with ‘im not bein’ a toff n’all like wot I am guv’nor so to speak – were at home today, and I can’t for the life of me understand why he wasn’t there wot […]

I thought Tommy Ten Names and his troops liked football? Saturday’s football ain’t it? Today’s Saturday. It’s almost as if Tommy Ten Names and his troops are phoneys. I was at football, won 4-0, but then I’m not […]

Growers of a sort… this year my CD player broke down, so it was ‘Alexa play the Yardbirds Live at the BBC’ for ages. .. it played over and over again. The point is that in five years (ten years max.) Alexa […]
