Thanks for posting, Chrisf.
A big thumbs-up for the song.
As you say, the great man has still got it.
What a phenomenal outfit REM were.

Hang on a minute – Alias has cheated there, the old scallywag.

He’s got TWO number 7’s: .Jose James AND Joe Claussell Music. Naughty.

Yes indeed, Alias’s list is where the Two Sevens Clash …..

Yes, that’s right.
Horace Andy – alive
Bob Andy – sadly no longer with us

Yes, that’s right. Fine voice.
Anyone wishing to try a Bob Andy album is directed to the all-time classic Studio One compilation “Song Book”. Sadly, CD copies of this album tend to be shoddy and rather […]

I’m currently cogitating and ruminating on that very subject, Monsieur le Tigre.

Mmmm … Susumu Yokota’s “Sakura” is certainly a good ambient shout.
Doesn’t “Sakura” mean ‘cherry tree’ or something?

That’s a handsome vinyl collection you’ve got there, Monsieur Renard.
For a while I was trying to identify some of the LPs by their spines, but … no luck.

Hmmm … I think Ray Davies and Pete Townshend might take issue there.

The second most famous person to attend that Wailers gig at the Greyhound in May 73 (after Kaisfatdad, of course) was David Rodigan.
In this brief clip he remembers the gig – and accidentally bumping into Bob […]

You mean you haven’t seen Bruce in Xenia, Ohio, dai?
I am disappoint.

Good stuff, Biggles.
I was sort of hoping that Elton would launch into a special Guernsey rendition of “(Channel) Island Girl”, but it was not to be…

Mrs duco01 saw Bob Marley live three times – as she’s always keen to remind me.

Mind you, none of those occasions was as early as the gig that kaisfatdad saw (i.e. The Greyhound, Fulham Palace Road, London, 20 May 1973).

You saw Holger Czukay live, fatima? Respect.

Well, here we go with my modest little list. I just couldn’t come up with a Z artist, I’m afraid.

A. Laurie Anderson
B. David Bowie
C. Elvis Costello (19 times – the artist I’ve seen most oft […]

Is the first one Robert Palmer?

Crikey. He outlived Goscinny by 43 years.
Great books. Reposez en paix.

Objection on behalf of Mr Black Celebration!

I just found the original site for this quiz, and the answer given for no. 20 is indeed the Pogues [i.e. the Kisses in Irish], as suggested by Black Celebration in […]

13 must be the Blades.
I suppose if you say that no.14 is a capital band, it must be the Dubliners. The picture isn’t much of a clue, though.

Ooh – I’m on a roll now!
No. 16 is An Emotional Fish!

[puts up hand, eagerly]
Ooh, Ooh, sir, I know no. 11!
It’s Aslan!
