I am definitely not an expert on CG and had heard none of his stuff prior to the ‘This is America’ track. ‘3.15.20’ is definitely worth a listen.

This is very sad news. I met Phil at a couple of the Mingles and he was a lovely bloke. His kind and gentle nature also came over loud and clear on this site and in his social media posts.

I’ve been wearing disposable, lightweight facemasks when I’m out and about, and these suit me very well (apart from the fact that my glasses sometimes steam up). However, I feel guilty that I’m chucking these away […]

I’m going with Doris Day’s/The Specials’ Enjoy Yourself (It’s Later Than You Think). The chorus is almost exactly 20 seconds.

It’s great. I urge all ELO-sceptics to give it a listen. The world would be a very dull place if we all liked the same thing. Personally, I would de-list the Springsteen album (I’ve listened to it more than once, […]

Apologies if this has already been posted, but there’s a new Specials track appeared this week on YouTube. Not brilliant, but not bad IMHO.

I went with the current Mrs Wonderful and I enjoyed it a great deal. Some of the tunes were gorgeous, but on more than one occasion I thought, “hasn’t he already played this one?”. Mrs W remarked that it was ‘ […]
Handsome.P.Wonderful wrote a new post, Go-Kart Mozart – Mozart's Mini-Mart 3 years ago

What does it sound like?:
70s and 80s pop. With 17 tracks and only one longer than 3 minutes, this has more hooks than a crochet convention at Hook Norton.

What does it all *mean*?
Very occasionally an […]

It was very sad news. I’ve been listening to IBM 1401… and Fordlândia this morning. Both pieces are suitably sombre.
