It was pointed out to me very recently that Jeremy “Hunt” bears more than a little resemblance to one Arnold J Rimmer. I cannot now unsee that. Now you won’t either. Snigger.

And who may even agree with most of it. That’s their business.

A Half Man Half Biscuit number has to go in there surely, so you might want to crowbar either Breaking News or The Referee’s Alphabet in there (the latter even better because Nige manages to balls up S)

Quite a lot of Tom’s oeuvre contains fabulous rapid-fire wordery. New Math, or Lobachevsky (clearly in the Danny Kaye style) – which means you could probably have at least one Danny Kaye number as well!

I wish 🙂

I heard an interview with Alec Stewart yesterday where he did say something interesting that kind of connects to this treadmill of one day cricket. He posited that perhaps, because this is a […]

VAR. [Shivers]

Don’t get me started on VAR.

Bait. And. Switch.

The Glasgow Empire: no turn left unstoned!

Would have loved to have seen that…

Going to see OMD at Sage Gateshead this coming October, so this fills me with very deep happiness!Great venue, great acoustics, and what a back catalogue

Jean Michel Jarre. – Docklands 8.10.1988
My first proper big gig, and came at the end of my first week at university, straight out of fresher’s week and onto a coach for London. At which point I bumped into an […]

I bought a couple of Naxos classical ones for the curiosity value (Vivaldi mandolin concerti and Enigma Variations I think), and came very close to buying a copy of JMJ’s Equinoxe, partly for completeness, but […]

I’ve still got TWO minidisc players: one a portable recorder, and the other a mini separate. In the latter cases, I now have no actual hifi system to connect it to. I did think that perhaps I could try and connect […]

Perfect

(and my favourite episode ever)

Garibaldis: good for decking or kitchen floors. Hardwearing.

NATION!

Laurie on Diva is great, and actually better than the original music for supermarkets version for it. But her voice is an amazing instrument full stop.

The MF3 thing sounds faintly African., though it’s […]
