How did you know I was called John? You’re a very clever man Fenton

Enjoying YGSF very much. Reminds me a bit of the Silver Seas ?

That joke also works after the first 3 lines.

Cheers moddy chaps. I think I was a bit tired and emotional and momentarily lost my bearings.

I must have been having a senior moment as just couldn’t find the link. Nay mind – it’s done.

The end instrumental ‘The End and the Beginning’ (that title gives away their proggy roots doesnt it?) is worth waiting for with nods to 60/70s Lalo Schifrin soundtrack music.

This is exactly what Youtube was made for. Im awestruck that anyone has the patience to construct something like this. Im still recovering from sanding down my kitchen worktops earlier this week – mind you they […]

My favourite Shack album might be ‘Here’s Tom with the Weather’. This song by John Head sounds like a lost 60s classic by Bob Lind or Fred Neil

Im another big fan of MH ( and his brother). The Shack stuff is ace as is the Red Elastic Band. Lots of references to 60/70s west coast bands especially Love on that Newby Street song (Im sure Shack did back […]

I believe most of the continents formed billions of years ago and soon after were colonised by newly erupting prog bands. Strangely this seems to have been glossed over by the majority of geologists.

Great work Lodey and once again the AW covers bases ignored the rest of the ‘best of’ lists. It was all going so well until Bobster and Brucie arrived to spoil the party. Am I really going to have to listen to tho […]

When you said you weren’t a FF fan I was briefly insulted!

I should have voted for the Focus box but am still wading through it. Talk about value for money – 9cds and 2 dvds for c £50. Nicely remastered and good booklet. It’s the only box set I acquired this year ( in fa […]

I think it’s a free hit for Barnsley tbh. I have no idea why this game went ahead but it could turn out to be season defining game for us. Barnsley look very good at the time of writing

As a lifelong Rotherham supporter I agree that beating Wednesday is one of life’s great joys

I vaguely recall either seeing or hearing about a time when Reginald Bosenquet was a bit under the influence whilst reading the late evening news, there was a story about a robbery and at the of the story Reg said […]

Over last couple of months I’ve played quite a lot of GM. I’ve come to love his stuff more and more over the years. As mentioned above an awesome singer ( the only one who could cut it at the Freddy Mercury tri […]

Evening all and happy Christmas to one and all. Strange but enjoyable meal – turkey smelt a bit weird when I opened it this morning so was abandoned and a lovely alternative was concocted including cauliflower […]
