Forever Changes – Love
Bells of Lightning – Starry Eyed & Laughing
Safe in their homes – Hoodoo Rhythm Devils
Chill out – KLF
These would be my most played albums of the year but the most played track is “Dr J […]

Managed to get one in the local Waterstones today along with the Springsteen/Obama book also at half price.

One more to add to my list from earlier in the month –
“Music for quiet moments” by Robert Fripp
I’d only just got it when my original list went in and it is lovely lovely reflective music which has been a con […]

Though I haven’t bought an awful lot of new stuff this year (mainly reissues) these have been highly regarded :

1 Starry Eyed & Laughing – Bells of lightning
2 The Immediate Family – The Immediate Family
3 […]

Oh now that IS a shame – I saw him a couple of times back in the 70s and he was very good live. Once was supporting Robin Trower at Wembley which was a rather odd double billing ! The other was the opening (and […]

The last time I saw Tull with Ian Anderson was (I think) in 2016 at the first “A new day” festival. I have seen the band many times and the last time I had seen them was on the “TAAB2” tour when Anderson had had […]

I’m lucky (?) in that there are two branches of Smiths close to me. One is actually a halfway decent shop but that’s because they sell books – OK not the range of Waterstones or any other “proper” bookshop but […]

His first ten albums were, in my eyes at least, his best. After that quality control tailed off a little from “Blue Moves” onward with the occasional decent single but nothing like the quality of the albums that […]

The last gig I saw just before lockdown was Jimmy Carr and he was as good as ever.
However one of the very funniest comedians I ever saw was Mike Harding – saw him at Fairfield Halls in Croydon probably 30 plus […]

if Ive got the time or inclination I’ll play with them and try and keep them hanging on for as long as possible before telling them that they’re a cunt but we bought a BT call guardian phone which makes them give […]

Hi – would you be awfully kind and send me the link too ?

Can’t believe nobody has yet mentioned The Sweet or Kenny.

I had my first jab (Astra Zeneca) on February 12th
Arm was a bit heavy the day after and I felt a bit tired but had a half hour kip on the settee and felt much better.
Haven’t been booked in for a second jab […]

To be perfectly honest I would not venture to the bottom of my garden to watch that bill.

My favourite stupid comment was on FaceBook – someone was holding what was, very obviously, an adaptor for pumping up a football and claiming that it had come out of his sister’s arm when he very gently stroked […]

I use Twitter for two things mostly – one was to find out any news on late running trains etc when going to meet my wife and the other was to find out the team for the day’s game when on the way to see the […]

Thanks for this – I bought the first one on your recommendation and have loved it. I didn’t know this had been published but have now ordered.

Probably Trump told him to do one !
