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.

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?

The whole vocal, to be fair, is a Bryan Ferry impression…

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.

This is an editorial from The Globe and Mail, Canada’s paper of record. Spoiler alert! They also think we are idiots.

Brian Wilson, definitely. Brian Wilson spods can point to so much stuff but after Surf’s Up things get awfully specialised.
Syd Barrett though? Much as I love him (and he did soar high) one brilliant Pink […]

I utterly loath it. Sexist drivel with a huge streak of pseudo poeticness running through it. I like my sexist drivel to have scraped knuckles or at least an unapologetic streak. Non of that “eagle flies with the dove” crap.

Totally agree about Crosby, which is odd because he’s had such a falling out with Nash that CSN are basically over now.
However since writing that rather garbled OP I have listened to my CD of “Just Roll Tape” […]

I am listening to my old copy of Stephen Stills first solo album. I bought it because “Love The One You’re With” was on it and pretty much ignored it for years afterwards because it turns out that “Love The One […]
