The Good Doctor commented on the post, Ghosts Again – Depeche Mode 2 years, 6 months ago
They’re 40s something years in aren’t they – when the Rolling Stones were the same ‘age’ as Depeche they put out a record called ‘A Bigger Bang’ (must confess I have never heard it) but it was their last proper […]

Fripp famously reads his own “press” and and seems he has visited this humble place, shared Twang’s review on his Facebook page and homed in on some of the less complimentary comments…

The Good Doctor commented on the post, Every episode of The Tube 1982-1987 3 years, 3 months ago
Old TOTP is still very watchable – whatever episode it is you get the music of the day and a very true reflection of what people were listening to whether it was Laurie Lingo & The Dipsticks or The Specials they […]

and as I’m sure we’ve all learned by now in spite of David Hepworth’s insistence that “everything is on YouTube forever” – it ain’t – so don’t sleep on these and download if you wanna keep ’em I can’t see a Tube […]

The Good Doctor commented on the post, Great docu on telly about the best Disco film ever ever ever made. 3 years, 4 months ago
My thoughts exactly @Locust – it’s a really grim, dark film. I was only a kid when it came out so I just remember the songs, and indeed I saw the (brilliant) Airplane spoof before I saw the actual SNF. I presumed […]

The Good Doctor commented on the post, When it's time to pull the plug on performing live 3 years, 5 months ago
I agree with Kid above, I’d never campaign for anyone to retire from the stage if they’re happy to go on treading the boards – we can all vote with our feet and there are YouTube clips if you want to check their […]

4, 2, 3 and occasionally fire up a Sony Walkman (original box-fresh unopened 80s model which once I’d replaced the perished drive belt works fine) for no.7 – mostly to play weird tapes from Boomkat.com or work […]

The Good Doctor commented on the post, Songs bands wont leave out of their sets 3 years, 5 months ago
Owen Paul and Chesney Hawkes still do the 80s Deely Bopper nostalgia circuit – the question is once they’ve played their hit, what else do they pad their sets out with?

The Good Doctor commented on the post, Why the 80s were the greatest pop decade 3 years, 6 months ago
I’d agree with that except I think the Buggles song was a fitting anthem for the end of the era from the late 50s to 79- and the 80s started on 24 May 1979 when ‘Are Friends Electric’ was first performed on TOTP […]

The Good Doctor commented on the post, On Your Bike 3 years, 6 months ago
Loads of valid arguments for/against but sitting at home all day is not for me. I like the hybrid version and the lack of rigid start/end times. Currently 3/5 in the office. I tend to pick up some early emails and […]

You don’t need 24bit unless he’s a budding Steven Wilson intent on recording everything he does in pristine audiophile quality from the get go. Both those interfaces will do fine Leeds. Behringer used to be a bit […]

Hooky’s band are great – currently featuring (sometime Smashing Pumpkin) Hook Junior on 2nd bass (his dad famously can’t sing and play at the same time) and David Potts from Hooky’s other band Monaco on guitar and […]

Yeah almost bad as that band from Liverpool with the silly haircuts and the wonky music – what were they called again ? (And yes I know the Afterword answer is Haaaaa fwaaa fnaar FLOCK OF SEAGULLS…GUFFAW)

When I was doing my own podcasts I just paid a monthly fee to a company who hosted the stream and created a Feed which gets picked up in iTunes and any other Podcast App that aggregates RSS feeds. Like most people […]

The Good Doctor commented on the post, Has FOPP gone down the nick? 3 years, 8 months ago
Fopp doesn’t really exist. I don’t know if, legally speaking, it is a separate entity from HMV but in terms of what is in stock the remaining Fopp stores are just HMV shops with a different logo over the door […]

I suspect the CD version is already manufactured and ready to sell so kind of annoying I have to wait for the inevitably delayed Vinyl version before I get my box set – but nevertheless I’m looking forward to […]

The Good Doctor commented on the post, Best Music Podcasts 3 years, 9 months ago
Gary Kemp is very smart and erudite – but I suspect the Podcats wouldn’t exist without his shouty, overbearing bass player mate. Two interviewers doesn’t really work on Zoom as Hepworth & Ellen prove every week by […]
