Even if Culshaw was intentionally playing his Bowie impression for laughs, not many would be laughing. His act and impressions are spectacularly unfunny, and Dead Ringers was atrocious.

Another thumbs up for Dig! I’d also recommend the excellent BBC2 Arena documentary on Joe Meek which is on Youtube too.

Droogie commented on the post, Stuart Adamson then 2 years ago
Was a huge Big Country fan during my mid-teens. My older brother was a punk rocker, so hearing his Skids singles played repeatedly led me on to loving the guitar stylings of Stuart Adamson. I only saw them play […]

Saw it on the weekend. A pure delight. Hugh Grant is a knockout as the luvvie baddie. At one point there seems to be a cheeky nod to Vincent Price in Theatre Of Blood when Grant’s character is shown talking to […]

I was amazed this sublime retro pop song by The Pipettes wasn’t a monster hit when it came out in 2006. The video perfectly recreating the party scene from Beyond The Valley Of the Dolls is brilliant too.

The most unpleasant read I’ve ever read is Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy. Has there ever been a more relentlessly bleak and violent novel? Makes American Psycho look like Anne Of Green Gables

I flicked through the Mike Love autobiography when it came out last year ( there was no way I was going to buy the thing ). All you need to know about the unpleasant deluded baseball cap-wearing twit is that he […]

One member is not unattractive, but I can’t remember which as I can’t endure watching and hearing that bloody song.

There was a godawful 90’s one hit wonder girl band called Vanilla who were rumoured to have been the result of a bet between 2 music biz types to see if they could get a group of really (ahem) homely looking girls […]

Droogie commented on the post, Movie scenes that freaked you out. 2 years, 2 months ago
The Tingler is a unique film as it’s cheap low-budget 50’s exploitation trash that’s also manages to be genuinely terrifying too. The scene that really sticks in my head is when a woman who thinks she’s being […]

Sounds like The Tingler starring Vincent Price. The only way to release the parasite from killing you is by screaming. When they showed the movie in cinemas, they’d rigged up some of the cinema seats to give […]

Seeing The Elephant Man as a kid really messed me up. I remember when it came out, they’d show the same clip on TV of when he’s chased through a railway station by a mob and has his masked ripped off, but they’d […]

I actually went vegetarian after getting food poisoning from eating undercooked pork sausages ( those nasty cheap Richmond sausages from my local corner shop that are just tubes of pink slime). So these days it […]

I recall a great quip years back by James Dean Bradfield of The Manic Street Preachers when asked if he rated Bobby Gillespie and Primal Scream. Bradfield said something like “we’re all big football fans in the […]

I had a book years ago called Bitch Bitch Bitch , which was a hilarious collection of nasty comments on and by musicians. I think my favourite was by some NME journalist reviewing the first 5 Star album who […]

This is a rare clip of British comedian Dickie Henderson on the Ed Sullivan show in the 60’s (ignore the bizarre Japanese subtitles!) I had vague memories of Henderson on 1970’s TV variety shows as a kid, but had […]

I like the Jonesy podcasts, but there can be some embarrassing pauses during his interviews when he blanks at asking his guests relevant questions. He seems to work best where he has a confident articulate guest […]
