I’ve never heard Mr Jones. Nor indeed anything else by Counting Crows. But I do wholeheartedly agree with the LOUD one about High Hopes. As he wisely sayeth, the “the grass was greener then” bit is the only good […]

I think your description above (“a mockumentary about…” ) is spot on!

I couldn’t agree more.

In fact the whole interview is worth watching, in a car crash kind of way:

This is just astonishing:

Born Slippy is a frustrating song. The first two minutes, with that wonderful intro and then the powerful beat, are fantastic. But then you have nearly 8 minutes of dullsville techno in which the only memorable […]

I was just listening in the car to the album he did with The Orb, ‘Metallic Spheres’. A really good little album, seemingly largely ignored and forgotten. Great for driving to.

I was smoking a cig, Tig, while having a swig, in a rig fit for a pig wearing a wig.

I like this game.

I watched the film about Liam (As You Were) last night. I used to find his bizarre off-the-wall comments funny. Now he’s grown up a bit he just comes across as a really boring (and talentless) thicko. But what was […]

Just no one mention “sewing”.

Great review, David. I’ve been listening to Songs From The Big Chair after you recommended it. It’s good, but I still prefer The Hurting. But ‘Listen’ is bonkers great. I like it when they do bonkers. Like ‘Ideas As Opiates’.

Are you saying Mrs Moose can’t get no satisfaction when all she wants is easy action baby? Because I can see how that might be problematic.

We shone like The Sun!

Night Owl is a great album, innit? Much better than the mega-selling City To City, I’m always happy to hear it. I remember it came out around the same time as George Harrison’s self titled album and both had a […]

Has he really said that?

I absolutely loathed YWNRH. Really dull. Mind you, I hated most of the films on Kermode’s list.

But “virtue signalling” is ages old now, even I know how to use it. A few months ago everyone was using “cognitive dissonance” and I’d just got the hang of that one when along came “dog whistling” to replace it as […]

I’m trying to think of other bands of whom a similar question could be asked.
P.I.L. performing Anarchy In The UK? Rain Tree Crow performing Ghosts?

“My son and hair” – I hope that was intentional and not a typo, cos it’s an excellent joke. Made me chuckle.

I don’t think Watson’s announcement is a wake up moment for Corbynites at all. I think it’s pretty safe to say that they’ve been made very much aware of his reluctance to offer any serious opposition to Brexit for […]
