I may as well take this opportunity to cut down on the Ale and lose some weight. We’re pretty much living out of our local village greengrocer and mini-market for now – don’t wanna go to a large supermarket again […]

What’s the new Warhol one called?

For some reason The Fall always works for me in difficult times, and you just know Mark E Smith would be taking it all in his stride. So for comfort I don’t want anything moving and emotional, I wanna rock out – […]

Good Innit? I saw him perform this live recently, really impressive. Talented guy.

It is absolutely the internet. When I was a kid music came from Radio 1, Top of the Pops and Smash Hits. Now it comes from (insert whatever it is the kids get their music from) – and it’s not a shared experience […]

The Kraftwerk ones I am pretty sure are not approved by Kraftwerk so should be avoided. – see also the Spacemen 3/Spectrum releases which are not approved by the musicians involved whatsoever – RSD still has no […]

Like Marmite? Like Cashew Nuts? These are basically what I imagine Crack Cocaine is like

I listened as a Tull-Sceptic – but the Motorway Services chat hooked me in I’m always interested to hear how things roll with ‘heritage acts’ these days and he was very honest about that wasn’t he?. I’m glad you […]

Not an issue for me – but for the kids who measure their life in ‘likes’ on social media – the children of some of you – definitely an issue. My friends teen kids are on Instragram, Snapchat, Twitter, and this new […]

Whatever. Do any of you know the way to Blockbuster?

I sort of took him for granted – but I made a playlist for my band’s YouTube channel and it dawned on me he was a huge influence on me in lots of ways, and he definitely had a style and sound – a certain way with […]

Wise words Tiggs. Social Media has been unleashed with absolutely no regulation or assessment of risk and like a lot of these tech innovations it’s there and it’s FREE before anyone considers the consequences or […]

Well at least you didn’t add up their combined ages. I actually really admire them for pushing on – they’ve come this far so keep rolling I say. Them and Macca are the oldest of their generation to still be […]

I had a nice ‘golden handcuffs’ deal which was good for a few years – never had a problem paying for music and the eMusic deal meant I could get a download of new LPs for 3-4 quid each which seemed reasonable when […]

To be fair, that’s not directed at Mike, that’s Brian in default setting on stage and has been for some years, poor old boy – a sort of blank but vague and unsettling stare into the middle distance. Fun Fun Fun.

I’m happy that Liz is doing her thing although whoever is promoting this album is blatantly using her presence on this record to promote it to CT fans (it was on a Mojo covermount with a distinctly Cocteau Twins […]

Excellent, I understand it was the same set list as Manchester anyway, without the encore break. Glad you enjoyed it.

@fentonsteve thanks – yep – it was the mixer. I solved the problem by purchasing a nice new Amp from Richer Sounds with a decent Phono stage and a nice DAC which can play my ripped CDs from my hard drive – I’m now […]
