Setlist.fm is a brilliant resource and I’ve been using it for years. Obviously it’s crowd-sourced like Discogs.com so what’s there relies on someone contributing the data.

I must confess I have used it plan a […]

I like TFC but haven’t played their records for years – I play this more often, a great lost Creation band 18 Wheeler (or Wheeler 18 as Tony Blair once called them)

So I gave up on Twitter during the 2011 London Riots when my working day was interrupted by constant alerts and it made me feel like society was breaking down during my lunch break – and I thought – this is not […]

I’ve been enjoying the Bandcamp Fridays events – first Friday in the month – so this Friday get on it!. They waive their fees and give artists all the revenue so it’s a good way to tip a few quid in the hat of […]

Well this tells us Bob Dylan has lots of fans who still buy CDs as does Neil Young. That will always bump an artist into the charts ahead of (insert name of latest Tik Tok sensation here) – Bob will be back in the […]

They’re great fun and I’ve chucked a few quid toward the Patreon as have a few ex-Afterword/Word bloggers. Suffice to say they have made lockdown far easier than some of you bunch of moaning, whinging twats

Christ. When will this hell be over? (Coronavirus I mean – not the, no doubt, thrilling jam you’re enjoying).

According to a popular search engine the line is “Everybody live for the music-go-round” – still makes no sense – is it just a rather lame pun on Merry-Go-Round? Her Brother Ricky wrote the song but I believe […]

Les I’d suggest staying friends with your old shipmates who are important to you on an individual basis so you can keep in touch with them, and they can keep in touch with you – but maybe leave the group […]

I’ll expand it by pointing out it’s Spiritualized with a Z – although I have several ticket stubs with your spelling

@arthur-cowslip Why do you call Tony Slattery a “Former comedian”? Until very recently he was still doing live improv stuff, he appeared on Richard Herring’s podcast and was doing little gigs. Even if he wasn’t – […]

The Damned are doing fine. Bands are responsible for their own legacy. The Clash left behind a magnificent Greatest Hits collection which overshadows their sometimes ropey albums but they looked cool as fuck and […]

I suspect the OP will ignore us and build his own database regardless – -*looks down* – yep.

What? You mean he does a lotta work for chairriddee but doesn’t wanna talk about it? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQ008D1ltr4

Yep Discogs all the way. No spreadsheets, no typing out all the details, Just search for the release and tick when you find the one you’ve got. 99.9% of the time it will be in the database. There’s also a bar […]

Yep it’s a really good initiative. Worth looking at the Bandcamp page and watching the scrolling thing showing all the sales – it’s quite heartwarming. Obviously paying for downloads was considered terribly […]

For Fucks Sake. The Mods have finally lost it.

Interesting. Apart from the bleeding obvious and done-to-death Unknown Pleasures pulsar there are some odd choices. T-Shirts based on album tracks from Technique and Republic! I guess the idea is the target […]

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 […]
