more than spooky – I didn’t even recognise what is was

Dreams of Leaving – The Clientele
Running on Fumes – King Creosote
Another Winter – No-Man
Ancestral – Steven Wilson
Mr Met – Lambchop

Feel I need to lighten up !

Just got round to watching this. Not what I was expecting – yes there were odd Jedward like quotes but it was compelling stuff. The arguments in the studio make Let It Be look tame.
If you are not a fan of their […]

I followed Jackie’s career ever since Doll by Doll and he is sadly missed. Magnificent voice and an exceptional guitarist.

I had to post my all time favourite cover version

My haiku was

Ice melts, coral dies
Cars idle in summer queues
I switch to Sky Sports

Im a cynical but happy old soul

Still reeling (no pun intended) that people are buying prerecorded cassettes. Looking at my historic collection the last one that I seem to have bought was Bobby Goldsboro’s Greatest Hits – aah Summer The First […]

Will Shakespeare would love to write about this – multiple plots and sub-plots and threatened coups aplenty and to quote Gerry Anderson anything could happen in the next half hour. I’m appalled yet mesmerised by […]

I was discussing the solution on my regular Saturday dog walk , as you do, and we came to the conclusion that we could do worse than put Big Sam in charge of the country to try and save us from relegation. Maybe […]

I also had tickets for the same cancelled tour in the 70s. Seen ’em a few time since but the original classic line up would have been fab.

Very possibly – I believe the album ( Jassbusters) may be a soundtrack ?

Some great sounding recommendations here which Ill be checking out. Ive come across a few good things over the last year (or maybe two ). As a big fan of Stephen King Ive been waiting for a good new one from him […]

As a supporter of a non prem team (the mighty Millers) I do feel that we no longer have 4 divisions as but 2 separate competitions separated by a glass ceiling- The Premiership and the rest of the Football League […]

So for me its Rotherham United – firmly bolted down near the foot of the Champ where we will no doubt stay for the remainder of the season. We operate on by far the lowest budget of any of the team in this […]

what other music poll would have Nils Frahm and Half Man Half Biscuit in its top 5 of the year? Answer none.

Pleased that NF getting some broad recognition – go see him live if you get the chance.

This thread is pleasantly bonkers but with the last Durutti vid Kai has brought it round in a nice circle as this definitely has some similar qualities to Khruangbin.

Where shall we take it now ? Hh yes this […]

HBL is a low budget feel good film which on one level was a bit corny but you came out with a smile on your face. Its about an old muso down on his luck who now runs a record shop thats on the verge of closing. […]

Top 3 for me would be:

The Wife – brilliantly acted by Glenn Close and Jonathan Pryce
Leave No Trace – beautifully understated performances which just felt very real
Avengers, Infinity war – a blast, […]

BRI are a fascinating band proper jazz soloists blended with a proper rock rhythm section – I remember a mate at school had their first album and I was much taken by this track at the time

Richard William’s […]

Not sure what counts as independent but maybe that’s why my admittedly quick perusal didn’t spot Danny Wilson, Blue Nile, The Bathers, Love & Money, Friends Again, Deacon Blue, The Pearlfishers – to name but 7 of […]
