So if I’ve understood correctly, what you’re basically saying is that music was your first love and it will be your last, music of the future and music of the past. And that to live without your music would be […]

“You’d fancy that even a half-decent candidate could dismantle Trump in a debate. Why can’t they find one?”
I thought Beto O’Rourke would have been an excellent choice.

Baldy.

Trump is very clearly totally unfit to be POTUS, in that he’s an insane narcissist, but if his presidency were to end tomorrow, has his presidency been markedly worse than his post-war predecessors? Worse than […]

I didn’t know that about Weish people.

I’d rule out “raffia doilies” then. Too specific.

Jedward shaving is pretty cheering:

I have tried, but not found anything that has wowed me. Of course I know the more well known singles (Blue Jean, Day In Day Out, The Heart’s Filthy Lesson, Hallo Spaceboy, Little Wonder, I’m Afraid Of Americans, […]

Me too, sort of. Although having now read his post, not really. For many years I thought Absolute Beginners would be the last brilliant Bowie song on my ‘brilliant Bowie’ playlist. But then along came Where Are We […]

So many really fantastic albums from the 80s, from new acts and old. Steve McQueen, High Land Hard Rain, Eden, Tin Drum, Closer, Wilder, Neither Washington Nor Moscow, Avalon, Gaucho, The Wall/Final Cut/Pros & […]

A couple of minor controversies notwithstanding, Dignitas in Switzerland seems to have maintained a pretty solid international reputation for providing a stringently regulated, professional and valued service over […]

I never got into Flintlock at all, even though I quite liked The Tomorrow People.

While the tabloids were all fawning over Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston appearing together in the recent table reading of Fast Times At Ridgemount High, it was Shia LeBeouf who made it worth watching.
