Aye, we saw Bruce in 2016 in Croke Park and the sound was atrocious as well. As soon as the Stones were announced to be playing there then, rain or not, I decided pitch was the only place to be. They looked and […]

I agree. I can’t be doing with bonhomie from the host. John Humphries doing it on mastermind annoyed me as well.

No, they all need to be like William G Stewart on 15 to 1. Polite, friendly but frankly, less […]

Well put it like this, it’s got a few decent tunes and it’s only 35 minutes long. It’s quite likely you’ve listened to worse this month already.

No. But I’ve been to THREE gigs where the artist did two dates at the venue and I was there the night that *wasn’t* recorded for sale

U2 at Slane
Oasis at Wembley
Stones at Twickenham in 2003

I was at one […]

We’re only on episode 4 but it’s mesmerising telly and i can’t wait to get stuck into the last few episodes.

As to a second season? Maybe it’d be nice but so what if we don’t get it. As The Queen’s Gambit also […]

That’s it, in a nutshell.

The “problem” is that stock exchanges were established as a mechanism by which Mary could take the £5000 that was burning a hole in her pocket, give it to the ACME company, get 5000 […]

It’s worth noting that re ‘two different levels’ that when the poo was hitting the fan re foot’n’mouth 20 years ago, there was full cooperation.

I *suspect* there’s reluctance in DUP circles in NI to cooperate […]

I got offered a free Google Nest speaker last Christmas as I was a paying user of their Google Music service. It remained in its box for 3 months or so because we were wary of it but now it’s great.

it can be […]

Thanks for that; it looks like whacking a sledgehammer with a nut but it’s probably a good idea to get myself an external drive and do the necessary one of the days…

*edit*

Yipes “A list of the tracks, […]

I’m having a similar problem with Youtube Music. Spotify didn’t launch in ireland same time as in the UK and I had just got an Android phone, so signed up with their Google Play Music service. I uploaded my entire […]

Love this song.

Anybody else think it sounds a bit ELO?

I laughed because I know *exactly* what you’re talking about and agree 100%.

We are a dying breed. The strangest thing has happened to me today. I saw that there’s a new-ish Matthew Sweet/Susanna Hoffs […]

This, definitely

ha, Slot, I think i’m in similar groups. I only stay in to look at the pictures and to reassure myself that, no matter how bad I am, with *counts* seven copies of Sgt Pepper (going back to 1987 cassette) I’ll […]

It’s not that they’ve lost the vibe, it’s that previously it was David, Mark and Fraser in a broom cupboard and it felt like that and now it’s just two of them on zoom. The vibe is ‘different’ but they’re still good value.

Bear in mind, they’re being done over Zoom or something so that normal vibe you’d get from a few lads in a shed isn’t going to be there. I think it’s great for what it is. I certainly think that both presenters […]

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.
