Could say he’s the kinda guy who would ‘want’ to be in the same room as Epstein (did he ever look like he had fun ever – I mean, EVER – not in any photos I’ve seen), Maxwell’s ho-hum little daughter (border-line […]

When the industry lumped on CDs forty years ago, it didn’t take long for the quality of the vinlys to go downhill. I wouldn’t be surprised if new CDs go the same way now as there is clearly a much bigger mark up […]

Physical, the cheapest option (CDs), as it’ll always be there… and now is the time to buy, buy, buy. Forget vinlys, CDs are as cheap as chips. Streaming (is that ‘Alexa’? – well it is to me) works if I don’t […]

… oh, and Madonna simply LURVES Margate (it’s Fab, and she’d know what Fab is) and so she is unlikely to ever leave it, because why would she? It’s SOOOO her. See above quote.

In the review I read, Mike Tyson is in it, she likes listening to Michael Jackson, and she dances to YMCA with flump. To quote a line in ‘All The President’s Men’… “These people are not clever”.

When Jimmy Carter became President in 1976 his peanut business was put into the hands of trustees to avoid a conflict of interests. Sounds a pretty pro-American thing to do. I wonder how much money the flumps […]

I agree. The thing the Tories and Reform (spoiler alert: they’re the same thing) most want is for Starmer to be dislodged. If, five years ago, I’d have said he’d be Prime Minister in 2024 I’d have been laughed […]

Hmm, not sure if it was AI, but a recent check for when the film ‘Performance’ was first shown on British TV revealed it to have been in 1999. I was happy I used the latest technology to help me out with that […]

Further evidence, if it were needed, to hang on to previous books (throw in CDs here as well) you know to be quality.

‘… best of his/hers/their generation’ at the end of a sentence. That always means ‘not as good as the 60s’.

Erm, think I understand… I do something before I do it? OK! First two rhyme with what you do in a rugger scrum (if yer lucky!), last one doesn’t rhyme with anything, it’s what Nigel Fromage is.

The word ‘appease’ has had a bad rap since 1938. What else do you do with a toddler? ‘Trump you f****** son of a f****** (oh yes, his father was actually the theme of a Woody Guthrie song about racism… Trump […]

I don’t know whether the writing of the above has confused the issue in the flowery language… but Morrissey has opened more fetes around the world than topped charts in it. See also: sex pistols, clash, jam […]

I suspect that’s the average. I’m doing 36, but I won’t be doing the ‘six listens to each’ test.

Hear all 36 concerts from the Dylan 66 tour on their anniversary… the first one is at White Plains, New York on 5th February 66, most are in May. I’m also working through that Uncut 500 60s albums list, […]

J.D. Vance? Hi J.D.

Yours is only the second example I’ve heard (personally or online) of someone not liking The Ballad of Wallis Island. The other person, a neighbour, also saw it on the small screen. Maybe the cinema is the place […]

Every other Sunday I’ll have a football/rugby match to go to… not this week. Put posters up around the village, had lunch (fish pie and wine) out. Spent the afternoon vaguely listening to the two football […]

Don’t know about ‘universally disliked’ but the songs I can’t stand are the ones that are everywhere, every day. I’m off to town tomorrow and the chances of me not hearing in a chazzer Mr. Blue Sky, Sweet […]

Avoiding any ‘imperial’ phase by any act is my mission in life, and so ‘Beatles For Sale’, alongside ‘Please Please Me’, ‘With The Beatles’ and ‘Yellow Submarine”, are my current go-to Fabs’ albums. They’re […]
