Guiri commented on the post, England v India Cricket Test Matches – we have a proper series here 10 hours, 54 minutes ago
There was a stat doing the rounds showing that since his debut India have actually won more often when he *isn’t* playing than when he is, so this series is following the pattern. Despite that he is, as you say, […]

Doing it for the Kids from Creation in 1988 or thereabouts. The vinyl cost 1.99 I think. One of the first indie records I bought when I was 15. I thought it was amazing. All these years later, despite containing […]

Has anyone counted the proportion of sessions won by England or India so far this series? India must be well on top. Could easily be 3-0 to India yet it’s 2 -1 England. Stokes is some captain. Bonkers, brilliant test cricket.

Fair play to them. As an added bonus the announcement has probably got Field Music more attention than anything they’ve done as themselves in years. I’m now going to give them a first listen, something that I […]

Neil Young with I think Booker T and the MGs at Brixton Academy in 2002. He had the flu. The then current album was a bit shit but I was an uber fan at the time so was very disappointed. I’ve still never seen him […]

His 80s pastiching Love in the Modern Age is both very relevant to this thread and a pretty decent album too.

I’m bound to end up buying this cheap on Kindle because I end up buying all Dylan Jones’s books cheap on Kindle. Thing is though they usually sound really interesting they more often than not are not. I think he […]

True, but how many more tests do A, W and S realistically have left in them? They’ll struggle to reach double figures between them let alone individually, and almost inevitably never together! What about […]

Woakes is one of my favourite ever cricketers, by all accounts a lovely bloke, and quite possibly the handsomest man ever to play cricket for England. But 3 wickets in 4 innings at 97 is not one wants from an […]

Quite amusing India challenging England to do the one thing they’re completely unable to do – batting out for a draw. Entertaining as they are, they’ll never be a great team without being able to play all […]

2 daughters, aged 21 and 19. Both at uni here in Madrid. They come and see me from time to time and even occasionally stay here, which is nice. The eldest is utterly obsessed with music and is way more open minded […]

I wholeheartedly agree. The original post was meant somewhat in jest and as a conversation starter, whether it came across that way or not is another matter. But as I do point out in the op he’s my favourite […]

Must admit I assumed that in his case but as recently as 2019 he was interviewed saying he’d always managed to fend off getting a ‘proper’ job through music. Might have changed of course.

Oh excellent. I love anything Renaissance that I hear but I have no idea who anyone is or who to listen to so I’ll be exploring this list. Ta.

An unsurprisingly unpleasant read considering it’s from Spiked. Despite its obvious smugness I must admit that I still support 99% of what Glastonbury stands for but the left’s demonising of Rowling is their […]

I see Led By Donkeys have jumped the shark by including J K Rowling in their worst people alive to be shot into space Glastonbury installation. Seriously, take a good long hard look at yourselves. Though, as some […]
