I enjoyed the programme but with one caveat – how can one believe what is in the captions accompanying each song when one of them states that Kevin is accompanied by ‘Big’ Jim Paterson on stage performing ‘She’s […]

Loving this thread and it reminded me somewhat of this song from Arab Strap

No probs at all – it’s the relegation thing that normally annoys me, as they weren’t relegated at all, they had to start again as a new club due to the old one being liquidated

Point of order here – ‘Rangers’ weren’t forcibly relegated for financial shenanigans at all. The club was subject to liquidation and therefore a ‘new’ Rangers was (quite rightly) made to start again from the […]

Late to the party, I know, but I watched this yesterday and do believe that was Elvis Costello’s dad walking down the King’s Road with the hippy gear on five minutes in to the first episode

Interesting stuff, cheers. It’s good to know that Fagan said it was pish rather than defending it. And that he thought the song itself was good – it is

Yeah, he’s in it for a few seconds as Breakdown plays in the background

The highlight of the film for me was Ronstadt doing Tumbling Dice, Moose!

I’m a fairly minor Steely Dan fan, so I don’t frequent those sites, Kaisfatdad. But have you ever watched this abomination? Surely nobody can defend either it or the Dan attaching their name to it?

Thanks, James, I was starting to think I’d been too cryptic so I’m glad someone liked it

Bug Country, the Afterword contributor Skuds could have been

That will be the ‘End of the World as we Know It’ thread, Jaygee, next door

I loved it all the way through…and if Rafe Spall doesn’t win an Emmy for that performance I’m through with this acting malarkey. Pure malevolence.

Guiri, as a fellow sufferer (in other things too it would appear) I would suggest the old cliche of exercise. Even if just a brisk walk, do it. And avoid booze and droogs too, if you can.

Now, I love Paul Heaton….and I love Rainbow….but I found that a tad objectionable….much too, too self aware and self ironic

I’m surprised to see Summer of ’69 tops 1985. Amazingly, it didn’t even make the UK top 40 at the time

He brought out an album earlier this year under the name of Interlopers and very good it is too.

Indeed, Moose. Brian Matthews introduced me to loads of stuff I was previously ignorant of, such as Robin Gibb’s solo albums.

All this way and no mention of Chico and The Man, shown on BBC2 in the 70s. It made me laugh at the age of 11 approximately but I remember it also had a hint of pathos so it made me feel a little sad too
