Sorry but I was subjected to Out of Time every week for about 3 years in the 70s. I used to go to a youth club every Friday evening in 77/78/79 and we brought records along to play while we played Football or […]

This is Klaatu’s best tune, but perhaps a bit more Wings than the Fabs.

Didn’t you mean a lot of ELO is awful?

Lovely review. Some of it is on Spotify for those who want to dip a toe.

One of his greatest roles is in one of the greatest movies, the black, cynical, downbeat Juggernaut. He plays (SPOILER!!!) the bomber Sydney Buckland, here he is at the end of the movie trying to out think Richard Harris.

You can’t go wrong with any of the below.

Eton Alive – Sleaford Mods
The Crucible-Motorpsycho
Chalk Hill Blue-Will Burns & Hannah Peel
Life Metal-Sunn O)))
Henryk Górecki: Symphony No 3 (Symphony of […]

Thank you, ordered!

Those Male street drinkers were the most exciting thing that happened in Worthing in years. I don’t where they get the energy from.

Nice to see that some of the Five now work for victims of miscarriages of justice and have given some of their settlement money to that cause.

Other than usual Readly stuff I’ve been enjoying Chris O’ Leary’s two Bowie books Rebel Rebel (1964-1976) and Ashes to Ashes (1976-2016). Both essential purchases for fans, some lovely stories and facts […]

I’ve sure you are entertained, it’s the automatic assumption the bloke with guitar good, and a proper musician, female pop singer bad and knows nothing.

Why sneer at Kylie being an ‘entertainer’? I’d rather watch her or similar than some old fart that is a brilliant musician but is still churning out the same stuff since the 70s. There’s enough of them, Kylie put […]

We had a lovely day in Manc. Visited the Antique Quarter in Failsworth, lots of filled to the brim Warehouses and old Mills. We don’t get these massive shops down south, it was a bit mind boggling.

Then we […]

Loathe to butt in but remember if you have an Android phone it may decode in LDAC for Bluetooth. Which seems a bit better to my jaded ears. Not all Android Phones or Tablets do though. You may need to go into […]

Lots of good stuff so far this year. International Teachers of Pop is the most fun, Far White Family is their best yet and Josefin Örhn + The Libration – Sacred Dreams is nearly (but not quite) as good as Mirage […]

Worthing unchanged? They’ve got a Labour councillor now. When I grew up there in the 60s/70s/80s they used to hang them.

Also the Dolphins from the Dolphinarium in Brighton were put in the Lido when their pool […]

As I’ve said before on here before Space Oddity is probably my second favourite Bowie period. After the late 70s masterpieces.

We’ve been married 31 years in September, we don’t do surprises anymore. Which is how we like it, simple pleasures.

Crikey I’m such a lightweight compared to the Grandmasters above. XTC, REM, The Beatles, David Bowie, Prefab Sprout, The Monkees, Belle and Sebastian, Brian Eno, Half Man Half Biscuit, Momus, The Smiths and The […]

I bagged both in HMV yesterday (actually my wife did, for my birthday at the end of the month) both at half price for the CD boxes.
