Van Halen. Generally speaking, if there’s one of these choices, you can rely on me to go for the more Secondary Modern one.

Not much fun is it? I think I’d rather have either of the Olivia Rodrigo albums than most of those.

The Beatles are on this list for the same reason that Kind of Blue and King of the Delta Blues Singers make all those Mojo and Rolling Stone Greatest Albums lists. They’re meant to give the impression that the […]

T. Rex is the unsung influence on Heavy Metal. I recently read the Denim & Leather book on the NWOBHM and it’s clear that the NWOBHM was basically what happened when 12-year olds who bought both Paranoid and […]

I love T. Rex but I’ve found it difficult to find a compilation that covers the whole career. There’s far too much stuff released, and for an artist that only released six or seven albums as T. Rex, their […]

One of the things I liked about Bullseye was that it was so cheap that Jim Bowen would remind viewers that Central TV had paid for contestants’ travel expenses and hotel accommodation. And then he would show them […]

If anyone is wondering who Bruce Johnston is, he’s the only one of the adults on the cover of Sunflower that looks as though they would be able to accurately tell you what day of the week it was.

Anyone who needs to be convinced about MA’s contribution to Van Halen should listen to Dance the Night Away and then try to imagine how it would sound without his vocals.

In Rush’s “Red Barchetta”, the ch is pronounced with a soft sound, as in church. It’s pronounced as if the word were Spanish, but it’s not, it’s Italian, and as such should have a hard ch sound, as in chianti. […]

I don’t mind Franceso Zappa. I’d rather listen to it than Just Another Band From LA or The Man From Utopia.

I don’t blame her. I’m new to Mario Kart because I never had anything Nintendo back when I had consoles, but my six year old likes to play it on his uncle’s Nintendo Switch and I’m now a complete convert. What a […]

Inferior to Bruce as a singer and a frontman and probably didn’t have the discipline or the stamina for those ridiculously long world tours in the 80s. However… I don’t think they ever made a better record than […]

Rob Smallwood tells the story that the roadies used to hate being Eddie so they used to come to gigs wearing corduroy trousers because they knew he wouldnt have Eddie on stage in cords.

I just read Dominic Sandbrook’s Who Dares Wins, which covers the early 80s. I came away with the feeling that Sinclair not getting the schools contract was a missed opportunity simply because they would have been […]

“Love is a Bourgeois Concept” is the best Pet Shop Boys song you may not have heard, from their 2012 (I think) album Electric. Apart from anything else, it features the line “drinking tea like Tony Benn”.

I think there is a growing trend for people to want physical objects for products that have gone digital. It’s not a massive market, but it’s there and growing. The vinyl revival has been one of the more visible […]

Did Muttley have a wheezy laugh from the Woodbines? Surely that’s why Muttleys got their nickname?
