This tune, by Bert Jansch and John Renbourn, is one of my go-to, calm down, sooth me please, I am crawling up the walls here, tunes.

This one I came across just before the second lockdown. I have been playing it to death ever since.

I have never seen Pennies From Heaven by Dennis Potter and would love to.
As a kid I loved The Tripods and absolutely would watch a repeat of that.
The Larry Sanders Show really should be repeated properly. […]

On the subject of things I’d like to see repeated, I remember loving The Monocled Mutineer when it was on. Possible the best thing I have ever seen Paul McGann in. I’d love that to get repeated.

I have just remembered another and it’s genuinely brilliant. Weezer’s Rivers Cuomo does the theme for Netflix’s series of “Green Eggs And Ham.”

I mean, I’m sure the lack of touring means he needed the money, but urgh.
Any other rock star cartoon themes out there? -

The greatest stand up I have seen is Jerry Sadowitz. I have seen him three times, on two of those occasions he was mind bogglingly offensive, interspersed with genuinely jaw dropping card tricks. I came out […]

I am going to ramble here a bit. One of my favorite songs of all time is The Clash’s “White Man In Hammersmith Palais.” The whole description from Joe Strummer of being pretty much the only white guy at a reggae […]

“Wee Eck” fucked his reputation the day he took a job on Russia Today.
And not being proved guilty of actual rape does not change that fact that he has actually admitted to inappropriate behaviour with young […]

“Out of Africa comes the Congoman…”
Hands down my favorite opening line in a song ever. From what, I think, is hands down, the greatest thing that Lee Scratch Perry ever did. The Heart Of The Congos by The […]

Bruce Springsteen and Barak Obama have made a podcast.
Middle aged men just can’t help it can they?
Yes, I have been in podcasts. -

I will not speak ill of the dead, but only because Bill Hicks spoke ill of him with far more imagination and fury than I can muster… “Speaking of Satan, I was watching Rush Limbaugh the other day…” Things then […]

I am just popping in to say that I just read a preview copy of Luckenbooth by Jenni Fagan. Her first book, The Panopticon, was completely brilliant.
Luckenbooth is an out and out masterpiece. As demented as as […]

I have a second hand George Michael story.
Some years ago I took a Christmas job in Selfridges in London and I had to do a training day in which we were all taught the “values” of Selfridges. It was as awful as […]

Tyll by Daniel Kehlmann is the best new novel I read this year. It’s a mix of historical fiction and traditional German folk tale set during the 30 years war. If Hillary Mantel did fairy tales it would […]

Yeah, but I mean something involving singing. Something as simple as them doing “Silent Night.”
Shit, The Unthanks, a Gospel Choir, someone like Adele doing “Away In A Manger.” I am literally convinced that […]
