I saw him on the Wrecking Ball tour in the RDS in Dublin, got into the ‘pit’ too.

It was the usual barnstormer of a gig and here’s the thing. Normally when he’s on the home straight, it’s the big guns, the […]

*muttley giggle*

I got one of the 50’s classic vibe ones, butterscotch finish etc.

Squiers aren’t *really* the poor relation any more. Obviously they tell you that you’re getting infinitely more oomph/heritage/status with the […]

It crossed my mind, Emcee that it’s a long ‘un alright.

I’ve just given it a listen but it’s a bit of a marathon alright. There are some decent tunes but maybe a bit of a trim would’ve been no harm.

It may have jumped the shark after they got together but this scene was *almost* worth it…

That’s Harry from Spooks there in the Double Deckers…

I’m guessing this is a slow burn ‘soft’ launch they’re doing. You can be sure Giles didn’t tweet *that* without Apple knowing exactly what he was doing, and what he was going to say in it.

This will generate a […]

I was the Major General in a school production of Pirates in 1991. Can still remember the words.

Also, that’s Linda Ronstadt there.

This is a great one as well. Sinead’s done a few good duets.

I’ve never found him funny and don’t get what others see in him, BUT if it’s a case that this ‘chimps as people’ thing has been a running joke for him since God was a lad, it’s not quite the same as doing what […]

Hah – i bought one of her tea-towels!

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Revolution in the Head isn’t half as good a book as it thinks it is.

But actually, Steve, (he said, getting all pedantic) just because the HoC has ‘voted’ to take ‘no deal’ off the table, doesn’t take it off the table.

the options were (and events may have overtaken them by […]

Isn’t that another variant on Pachobel’s Canon in D?

But isn’t the problem that whilst you’re campaigning for ‘an alternative’ the present system allows you to only campaign for a single alternative (dictated, it appears by Jezza, but i stand to be corrected) and no […]

…is the correct answer.

I don’t think *anybody* in this group is in the target market, per se. As to the ‘high concept’ thing, if you can handle Groundhog day, and if you can handle It’s a Wonderful Life you […]

Can we talk about ‘Rap against Rape’?

*shudder*

official site says, in final paragraph, yes.

Yeah, I agree as well.

I will happily accept that the difficulties weren’t a constant (Paul dropping everything to go and cut Ballad of J&Y with John), and that they *appear* to have had fun during (most of) […]

The ‘great album openers’ thread is always a perennial favourite; my problem is that BTR as an album doesn’t hit me the same way that Darkness does, and so no matter what ‘follows’, it’ll never be good enough. […]
