That… is shockingly poor. That’s not writing, it’s thinking.

The headline slot comes with the BBC broadcast. When he last headlined in 2009 (Friday night, when the news of Michael Jackson’s death was announced) IIRC the Beeb only got 4-5 songs to broadcast from him – and […]

I bought it, but it seems wrong to do so. I read somewhere that Amazon sells titles like these as a loss leader: the authors still get their full royalty. I hope so.

Congrats Uncle W. Similarly last week we got our first EV, replacing a diesel 2011 Citroen Picasso with 170k km on it for a VW ID.Buzz. The Picasso was becoming very tetchy due its particulate filter. The […]

OK, I’ll bite… I think it’s a false equivalence to say “meet the new boss same as the old boss“ as if a near octogenarian with nothing left to do/prove wasn’t going to pardon his only living son for a crime tha […]

I deleted my Twix account when Musk took over and set up camp on Mastodon. Bluesky and Threads launched on the promise that they would offer the ability to interact with people on independent Mastodon servers but […]

It is a great song. What I really like about it is as a songwriter for hire, he really understood the brief to create something for the Everlys. Harmonies all ready to go.

Could I post this gorgeous version of No More Lonely Nights here? It’s the only good moment on this wretched tribute album.

The Kinks, from their last proper album, Scattered. Wasn’t expecting The Monkees to drop their best song in 2016: And Ringo put out a fantastic song (written/produced by T Bone Burnett & Daniel Tashian) last week:

Stevie Nicks is 76 (“House!”) and her voice sounds relatively better than many of the men about that age who are still treading the boards. Plus Saturday Night Live is actually live, not only that but if you […]

Down With Wilco is an excellent album but it seems to be on the US list and not the UK list… https://irp.cdn-website.com/67794b89/files/uploaded/BF_PDF.pdf

FINALLY! And how much will it cost..?

Fun fact: the Zappa home and studio, known as the Utility Muffin Research Kitchen, was sold to Lady Gaga in 2016 and she recorded part of her last album, Chromatica, there. It has since been sold to Elizabeth […]

I was in the crowd, cheering for Cork, and it was possibly the best match I’ve ever been at. It was a rollercoaster.

I’ll leave this here…

Stone Roses!
