I liked that -thanks, @Fin59. It has some of the same poise and space that appeals to me so much about Laurie Anderson’s music. I bought the box set shortly after joining the Afterword, but have never really done […]

No prob @Fin59 , I learnt quite a lot from it.

I wasn’t being entirely serious, @Fin59, don’t take it too much to heart. It’s just that I was having trouble relating Jezza’s unelectability to his flawed position on biscuits.

@fin59 I think I have to agree with you vs the Beatles *ducks from hail of missiles* . If they had the good fortune to split up after after Exile on Main Street they would have left a career and catalogue as shiny […]

Delighted to hear that @Fin59. My timing was rather good on this one.

And if any one them come up with suggestions as to more songs in the same vein, do please let us know.

great comments @Fin59

“A guilty, if you call it that, pleasure.”
No. @Fin59, stop thinking that.

This. Crosby… and?

@Fin59 – @WholeHogg asked Paul Du Noyer your question!

Green eggs and ham?

Those are some great lines, @fin59 – he really knew how to marshal his words to the rhythm.

Thanks @Fin59. No worries.

I’ll let you know if I discover anything. I love a challenge.

I enjoyed this @fin59 but found it very difficult to find any more info about the band. I discovered this was released as a single on Virgin in 1989. Do you know any more about them?

Julie Christie! Julie Christie! What man in his right mind was not madly besotted with her?

Thanks for reminding of that @Fin59.

Talking or Russian epics, did anyone else see the recent BBC adaptation of War […]

@Fin59 A great choice, if I may say so. I was toying with posting it yesterday, but went for “No Milk Today” instead. Glad you posted it.

Well indeed @fin59 but not much chance of his voice being called great, eh?

that sounds like a top night not silly or nerdy at all @fin59

I think being sucked in EVERY TIMe to these limited release deluxe Dylan sets when the same albums are released later for a fraction of the cost. At […]

@fin59 I read Libra too on its release and found it a bit heavy going. 2016 will definitely put it on the re-read list after enjoying Underworld so much.

It’s a good place to start, @baron-harkonnen.

@fin59, you could do a lot worse than getting yourself the Meet The Eels (Essential Eels) compilation from a few years back.

I love early Eels (most of their […]

Yup, @fin59, love that Jason Isbell track too.

Thanks, @fin59, thanks, @paulwright – good comments. I thought this thread had died on its arse, a few sputters after my initial weak squib of an OP – you never can tell what happens to your thought farts after […]

Sorry @fin59.

You made yourself perfectly clear. It was just that your evocative writing got my imagination going and made me think what other songs might fit the bill.

I got a bit carried away. Just for a change!
