Chris you are so right. I totally support his position and hope the Beeb change their minds but that was uncalled for. He’s obviously never heard 6Music.

The only thing I hope that its proper live New Order not Top of the Pops New Order.

This is very sad, I never met Phil but he made some lovely comments on here.

Best wishes to his family and friends.

Hi Gary. I have heard of Frank and I like that one of his. You know the one, he sort of talks on it. He may even sing, I’m not sure I haven’t heard it for a while. Have a lovely Sunday, I’m off to add to my list […]

No criticism of them doing it but surprising that it’s happened at all. Let’s hope this means they will go off piste more often.

It’s on Readly for those subscribers out there.

Just a small point, I like Wilco (a few albums in my collection) but is there enough fans out there to make a viable mag? Beatles, Stones, The Who even Kraftwerk […]

For what it’s worth the Laura Cannell is stunning as is all her stuff.

It is probably one of the most emotionally demanding pieces of music ever made. But something everyone should listen to at least once.

Then try HMHB afterwards!

That’s really odd because my No 1 is…….

1. I Trawl The Megahertz – Paddy McAloon
2. Come On Feel the Illinoise – Sufjan Stevens
3. Welcome Interstate Managers – Fountains of Wayne
4. Have One On Me – […]

Who?

Obvious. John Shuttleworth.

At least Bowie did his comedy voice at the beginning of his career.

Sorry.

Bob Stanley’s theory is that singer is a murder victim. Which fits perfectly.

It runs a close second to The Winner Takes It All.

1 – Jordan The Comeback – Prefab Sprout
2 – My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts – Brian Eno & David Byrne
3 – 69 Love Songs – The Magnetic Fields
4 – Tilt – Scott Walker
5 – Dazzle Ships – OMD
6 – A Walk Across The Roo […]

This is a rather lovely story.

Pub welcomes 433 Nigels for party to ‘celebrate Nigelness’

The Chap have ploughed a quirky furrow for some years with their idea of ‘Pop’.

I genuinely think this is one great cover versions. From the cough at the beginning, the excruciating solo and the incredibly […]

Probably 7 or 8 times. It’s a stunning experience. It was either that or Scott 4. Both show an artist pushing the boundaries, in different ways.

1 – The Beatles – The Beatles
2 – Jordan The Comeback – Prefab Sprout
3 – My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts – Brian Eno & David Byrne
4 – 69 Love Songs – The Magnetic Fields
5 – Come On Feel The Illinoise! – Suf […]

69 Love Songs, Penguin Eggs, Ys! @duco01 goes up in even further in my estimation (if that was possible)

And Sufjan will be in my top 10, if I get a wriggle on.
