And “My Ding-a-ling”.

Here he is with Elvis Costello

My first thought was Barenaked Ladies, but another personal fave is Third Eye Blind and Semi Charmed Kind Of Life

I know the lyrics to this and can’t sing along.

I had amazing difficulty recently trying to recycle a bloody great stack of cd-r’s and dvd-r’s that were redundant and surplus to requirement. They had to go in the landfill unfortunately…

So this is different again from the digital compact cassette format ? Brilliant. DCC was the same size but supposedly compatible with regular cassettes as I remember. All the complexity and limitations of a VCR […]

What’s brown and sticky? This SD card

Exactly this. I was given a mini disc for my birthday this year (it was a technology joke). I knew where the player was because I had recently disposed of the leaking and uniquely shaped unreplaceable battery. […]

I have a very soft spot for North and South too. Beautiful songs, playing, singing. I played that a hell of a lot on long drives up and down the M1.

That was another big factor in high volume repeated plays, the […]

The YouTube stream seems to balance things much more than I heard it on the night. The bass and drums dominated the room, where the stream carries a bit more nuance. Good, but different.

I guess Mike Campbell can’t sing, and as good as he is, Neil can’t do the complicated guitar bits. Cynical old bastard that I am…

Otherwise a pretty positive Fleetwood Mac review. Was anyone there ?

I think yon spammer is pitching to slightly the wrong market. It’s all cardigans and pipes round here, isn’t it?

I thought much the same until I realised that Vesta curry with the raisins is very like a Japanese curry katsu sauce, which is where I suspect the recipe originated. I’m eating one right now and having another […]

Oh god that takes me back.

A 24 inch TV was considered large in them days.

But to the OP, I can see what you mean about the look of 70s footage. I think it was the final days of film for everything, maybe just pre-video? There was a […]

Firkins. A West Bromwich bakery chaIn that folded on 2015. Ahh well, those were the days

You, sir (or madam, or non-gendered, or whatever I have to do for honorifics these days), are a sarcastic bastard. In the nicest possible way. I salute you.
