I always refer to Sam as ‘fat Craig Potter’

Souvenir has one of the best song intros ever.

This is a rather splendid oddity. Lot’s of warping and reverse guitars and that.

Re. Birmingham

I think it was St Andrews, but back in the day (late 80’s) in the away end you could go to the gents at the back of the terrace and continue to watch the game while relieving yourself due to the […]

Dan Brown?

The Jimmy Gomez (I think ) mix of ‘Perfect Motion’ is a wonderful, glorious thing and reminds me of very, very happy times.

I was there in 2000. You didn’t have to scale or break through the fence to get in to Glastonbury. There were scams going o at many of the gates, recycling old tickets. I totally believe there were 250,000 people […]

The Gyles Brandreth book is very good IMO

Someone already mentioned it, but Bill Bryson’s “A Brief History Of Nearly Everything” is a cracking read for your hols. You’ll learn a lot of interesting new stuff and be generally blown away about space and […]

Thought she had her head on her shoulder
Cos I’m feeling twice as older

That dreadful warbly “it’s in his kiss” shite that Cher did. Utter, utter shite.

Norman Cook. He did quite well after leaving pop janglists The Housemartins.

Big Trak

Now, I never actually had this but after watching the commercials for it in the early 80’s I sure as heck wanted one. Sadly our budget could never stretch to such luxuries, but a friend of mine did get […]
