Meanwhile, in my village, a lady who gave up nursing to become a house cleaner and another who works in process management, have set up a group to collect and deliver food & medicine to those in isolation. One […]

Even better.

Neo is the electronic speed-selector box thingy, so I was half right.

Rega P3 and Neo?

Pleased to see that even the experts struggle with whether to file Captain Beefheart under ‘C’ or ‘B’.

I’m beginning to think this Clark bloke might not have a very good grasp on reality.

Alan Merrill, who wrote I Love Rock ‘n’ Roll, later covered by Joan Jett. C-19 got him on Sunday, I’m afraid.

Quite. I nearly spat my tea out when that came on, and yet I still watched it, so who’s the mug?

Difford’s autobiography is full of honesty (he’s an alcoholic in AA recovery) and lists all the places he’s ever lived, including the current abode.
I was at his first ever solo gig, somewhere in Docklands. He […]

Ta, Junior. Ordered!

I search for them on the PC and add them to my playlist. They then appear on the Firestick.

Downloaded, but yet to listen.

In irony news, all this being at home is allowing me less listening time, as the hifi is in the same room as the telly. And Mrs F and Offspring the Elder are catching up on […]

Now playing the AW top trump card:

It reminded me a bit of DONOVAN.

My lad got to grade 6 (with distinction) on the drums last year, and then packed in his lessons. The kit’s in the spare room and I have a bash when nobody’s in the house (i.e. not for the next 12 weeks). I have a […]
