Atom Heart Mother also has Alan. In fact, Alan gets more of a credit on Atom Heart Mother than Richard Wright does on The Wall.

No I meant one of his own songs. You’d think that after being burnt like that he would have insisted that Somebody to love, We are the Champions, Bicycle Race, Don’t Stop Me Now and Crazy Little Thing would have […]

Tigger is starting to make me think that the fly deserves a writing credit on Grantchester Meadows.

Captain Sensible apparently made sure that the B side to Happy Talk was self-penned, as he thought it would be a big hit.

I don’t think Roger bagged the B-side to Bohemian Rhapsody, as I doubt the band thought […]

Uncredited. Seamus had a better agent.

In fact, I think the fame must have gone to his head. Notice that they’d replaced him with Mademoiselle Nobs for the Pompeii film? I bet there’s a story there.

The first Paul Simon album I bought was Greatest Hits etc, which covers his mid 70s albums. It is one the great Sunday afternoon albums. Don’t believe me? Put it on this Sunday accompanied by a cup of coffee and […]

My votes for America’s greatest living popular musicians go to Stevie Wonder and Paul Simon.

Nobody has Freddy, nobody has.

Funnily enough I was listening to Hello Nasty the other day and Venom get a shout out on that. Their reach and influence shouldn’t be underestimated. I still have my vinyl copy of Black Metal, with all the […]

I hear that jukebox is going to get the Super Deluxe treatment next year. 18 discs, marbles, garden gnomes and everything.

If Indo Jazz is jazz with Indian influences, what is jazz with Indonesian influences called?

I came here expecting a bit of gamelan, and I don’t mind saying I’m disappointed.

I don’t know about anyone else but I’d really like to read the non-paraphrased version of that quote.

Those are pretty good Moose, but to be honest I prefer his older stuff.

We have a group at work who are in meetings all day long. They are currently working from home, which means that they are sitting in front of a screen all day long.

One thing I’ve noticed with Teams/Zoom is […]

No.

“Watch the video carefully”

I think Hildegard was in Hawkwind for a while in the mid 80s. That should reduce the number of connections needed.

Rob Halford came across as a really decent bloke in the Heavy Metal Britannia documentary that was on BBC4 a few years ago. Bill Ward came across as a nice guy too. Burke Shelley, not so much.
