Pie takes a swipe at lefty wokeness:

I just watched Katie Hopkins’ latest video on YouTube. Why? I dunno. I know I shouldn’t give her the oxygen of an added view, but when a video by someone I despise crops up on social media I get kinda curious. The […]

I wish someone like Rick Ruben or Joe Boyd had produced All Things Must Pass. I imagine I’d have liked it a lot more.

I can’t believe we’ve got this far down the thread without anyone posting this majestic beauty. I’m thinking of having this played at Lodey’s funeral (when the time comes, God forbid it ever should):

A vicar, a priest and a rabbit walk into a blood bank.

The rabbit says “I think I might be a type O”.

I’d like to change my vote to put Baxter Dury’s excellent The Night Chancers at number one please. Sorry for my lateness. Salwarpe’s fault.

And starring Dustin Hoffman’s son, Jake. As well as Karate Kid Ralph Macchio.

How about ‘Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Undead’?

Recently finished
As mentioned in Blogger Takeover LXX1, I recently read 2020’s Pulitzer Prize winner ‘The Nickel Boys’ by Colson Whitehead. A studious and polite young black kid hitches a lift to college for his […]

I think I might know the answer to this. Would it be the thread about The Thompson Twins?

Unless H.P.’s post on agrarian reform in the Low Countries 1750-1831 turns up.

Thanks, Sal and H.P. All sounds decidedly serious.

One day we’ll be able to look back on this and laugh.

No way could I sit through a whole hour of his talking – it’s like listening to Colin Robinson. After just 5 mins I feel drained. Pity cos from what I did listen to it sounds important. Have you listened to it all […]

I think the answer is, as it so often is, David Sylvian. Both Blemish and Manafon have superb accompanying official remix albums (respectively, The Good Son vs The Only Daughter and Died In The Wool) that soften […]
