I got really quote obsessed by The Aliens back in the day, and I actually saw (I think) one of their first ever shows at KOKO in Camden. The last time I saw them though, Gordon Anderson was looking, I have to say, […]

Very sad news indeed. 56 is no age. A pulmonary embolism got him.

Surely the greatest break up song is George Jones, He Stopped Loving Her Today?

KT Tunstall is a singer I’ve always liked. I just wish she wasn’t opening Lidl’s 100th store. In Cowdenbeath. I mean, I know she’s from Fife and may well just happen to be in the neighbourhood that day, but still…

ganglesprocket wrote a new post, A Day In The Life- How Good Is Ringo Here? 2 months ago
I have been listening to “A Day In The Life” for basically 30 years. I am of the opinion that if Sgt Pepper was full of 35 minutes of belches but still had “A Day In The Life” at the end, it would probably still […]

A Scottish person says “normally no but if it meant stopping Boris the chicken they’d probably hold their nose and do it.”
The SNP and Labour are pretty damn tribal in Scotland, some genuine hatred there. But […]

Drippy is definitely Ed Sheeran’s middle name, but he’s not a cover guy. Drippy seems to be the go to emotion just now.
I am not happy about this. I thought my contempt for the young as an old man would be […]

Over the past few years a variety of songs have been crucified by drippy women with acoustic guitars (or pianos) in adverts. Currently there is a truly shit version of Wonderwall (admittedly shit to begin with) […]

Be With Me is an astonishingly wonderful Dennis tune. I assumed it was Brian Wilson for years.

I met him once as well, he signed my rather battered second hand copy of North. He was gracious and somewhat overwhelming (not by anything he did, he carried himself beautifully and was courtesy itself, but he was […]

Do yourselves a favour folks and watch this absolute labour of love about one of the greatest writers of all time. It’s just beautiful and wonderful.

ganglesprocket wrote a new post, Fred Neil and Joni Mitchell Klaxon!!!!! 4 months ago
Some of you will know that I have a bit of an obsession with the semi obscure 60s folkie Fred Neil. Much loved by Neil Young (and indeed CS&N), a huge influence on Tim Buckley, the host at Cafe Wha? when Boby […]

Saw this film a couple of weeks ago. Self indulgent tosh with a nasty aftertaste. Quite how QT has managed to turn an encyclopedic knowledge of crappy films and TV, a fondness for hellish violence and a foot […]

Our wedding reception was in Rothbury! You’re right, hellish part of the world, no one go there, you’ll hate it.

I am going to recommend two series here.
Liu Cixon’s “The Wandering Earth” Trilogy which just FLIES! Starts off as a hideous moment in the Chinese cultural revolution and then just melts your brain.

I have literally just clicked. Once Upon A Time In Hollywood???? Piece of shit. Fahrenheit 9-11? That has been discredited by so many bloody people.
Does this get any better?

Pantherman by Pantherman, a Dutch glam rocker. My GOD THIS IS BRILLIANT! Imagine a combination of God Only Knows by The Beach Boys, Beethoven’s 9th, ten fucking Mona Lisa’s and ALL OF GOD’S VERY CREATION.
