Stop press. I have heard of Supergrass and Maximo Park……I think.

Bloody Hell.My finger is so far off the pulse. I honestly have never heard of any of the above bands. “French blackgaze act Alcest”. I salute you Sir!

Well as an artist who identifies herself as a feminist and has been quoted as saying “I have nothing against anyone getting naked…..I just don’t think it would compliment my music in any way or help me tell my […]

Slightly off theme but Boulevard of Broken Dreams is a cleverdick song or album title that many bands/artists seem to smugly assume that they were the first to think up .

I possess a faded photograph of myself purchasing a small Cactus plant at the Great Yorkshire Show in 1979.

Power Pop band The Knack had an album called But the Little Girls Understand. To me that sums up the Rollers.

Those Were The Days indeed. When my friends dad used to regularly compete against Leeds keeper David Harvey at thoroughbred rabbit competitions. Fascinating figure David. He once owned a depressed monkey that […]

Fripp has the haunted look of one of those cuckold husbands who lurk furtively on the shadowy fringes of the frame in Xhamster videos that I do not watch.

Loved it. Delivered exactly what I wanted in spades. Two iconic monsters smashing the shit out of each other. Then threw in another legendary giant metal bad ass for good measure. The hollow earth looked like a […]

Hughie Green fascinates me. Crazed megalomaniac despot like child star. A genuinely brave and fearless pilot during the war. The 1970s Opportunity Knocks years when he thought introducing Bobby Crush to the […]

Is that the album with Tiny’s version of Bye Bye Blackbird? Brilliant.
Franco commented on the post, What's your favorite one hit wonder? 5 months ago

Thanks for that info fatima. It always seemed to me that Dieter had the tunes but Thomas had the voice. I did like Blue System, Dieter’s follow up band but his croaky breathless vocals could never compete with his […]

You are all too tasteful on here. What about those magnificent euro disco songs that made an annual appearance in the UK charts every summer. None more mightier than the awesome Brother Louie by Modern Talking. […]
Franco commented on the post, The eighties… 5 months ago

1987(What the Fuck Is Going On?) by the JAMs. Original discs with the nicked ABBA samples worth a bloody fortune now. I can still remember the day I first heard it. Incredible.

Fun Boy Three released some interesting extended versions. “The Telephone Always Rings” and “It Ain’t What You Do” spring to mind.
