If you’re invested in Bob, that helps for sure. But there are tunes.

DrJ commented on the post, No Voting necessary – Your Favourite "free" CD 1 month, 1 week ago
I really find it impossible to throw out any free CD that’s come with Mojo over the years. So much so that I just slip them into a little CD wallet folder thing, but I virtually never listen to them. There are o […]

YouTube is a good repository for comedians. Some of the current SNL crew began with an online presence: Melissa Villasenor, Chloe Fineman, Mikey Day and the same is true for their writers. One of their lead […]

Also, there’s raw footage out there from the SMS tour. Gives an idea of what it would’ve been like to be in the audience.

I have been back listening to TH recently, partly because of American Utopia (obligatory “it was the best gig I ever saw” statement) and also because of the gloriously silly, but interesting, R U Talkin’ Talki […]

Thanks for that. I understand their compulsion to make it as comprehensive as possible. Of note, KC are putting all their 1970 session tapes up for sale as downloads on DGMlive to preserve the copyright.

The Tasty app is a great thing. There’s a website too: https://tasty.co/
On the app, just search for, say, slow cooker chicken and you get a load of recipes with a 60 second video and away you go. Add a rice c […]

The recent rumours all appear to be true. On Friday, teasers began to appear for a new Paul album, McCartney III, assumed to be a fully solo, everything played by Macca, lockdown special. The date is expected to […]

It’s great to see my collaboration with Bowie getting an airing. (I’m in the crowd for The Reality Tour video, I’m visible for about 4 frames. Still counts!)

DrJ commented on the post, Live plus something extra 3 months, 3 weeks ago
Simon & Garfunkel’s 2004 live album from their reunion tour has a brand-new studio song tacked on at the end, Citizen of the Planet. This is the only 21st-century Simon & Garfunkel tune (although, it was first a […]

The 1982 Royal Albert Hall gig was recorded and filmed. Stick that in an Almost Blue box!

I am interested to see what these are like.
Costello’s back catalogue is a mess, which is a pity, because the 2CD sets he put out of each album between 2002-2004 are textbook examples of how to do this kind o […]

My copy arrived today. As the previous owner only of …Bright Lights… and a decent comp, it’s a handsome set for £56 (price is now nearer £70) and it’s all the R< I’ll need in one place. Looking forward […]

DrJ commented on the post, CDs almost dead? 4 months, 1 week ago
They obviously didn’t read the details of the report correctly. CDs are still selling above vinyl, although it’s close, and there is a 40% drop in CD volume numbers from the first half of 2019 to the first hal […]

DrJ commented on the post, The 4th album 4 months, 2 weeks ago
A few years back I had the “1st single, third album“ theory, which mooted that this was the release that signified if an act was any good or not. (Yes, I incorrectly note in my original post that Bohemian Rha […]

Please Please Me is fantastic and shows how they were an albums band right from the start. Someone should do a podcast about that.

DrJ commented on the post, Artists with seemingly little or no regard for their back catalogues 5 months, 2 weeks ago
Van can’t take any credit for the Astral Weeks, Moondance or HB&SC because as far as I know he has no control over them. So they don’t count!
Another artist with no interest in a proper catalogue overhaul is […]

I’m very much looking forward to this. There were indie vibes from the last record: the title track, Lover had a Mazzy Star thing happening on it.

The ELO soundalikes that Jeff Lynne recorded are part of the same deal. AFAIK, the re-recorded ELO Greatest Hits from a few years back was a stockpile of songs Jeff had recorded to undercut Sony licensing the […]
