I scoffed at the ‘Little Englanders’ that wanted their blue passports back because I couldn’t see how the colour matters but, when mine needs replacing later this year, I think I’m going to be embarrassed each […]

It’ll be fine. One of the main advocates of leaving is now in charge so with a big majority so, assuming he had a carefully thought out plan that he can now implement it’ll all be fine. Life after Brexit is going […]

I’ve seen her several times but not for a very very long time. I think I’ll go and hopefully there won’t be any sign of the decidedly odd film soundtrack stuff like “After the Triumph of Your Birth”.

As far as […]

The RnRHoF museum in Cleveland certainly is a great place to visit. We were in there about 7 hours and ended up having to rush through a few exhibits (fortunately, when we went, the ‘featured’ exhibition in the […]

It’s all relative though. I thought the same about the gigs in support of said albums.

Thanks both of you… two albums downloaded ready for tomorrow.

Can you suggest what the string of Elton John albums is? I was always a big fan but lost touch when he went through his “shit years” sequence and never returned. I listened to the autobiography and felt I was […]

I went to an Ian Dury and the Blockheads gig in Luton in the late 90s. This was a treat for locals because big name acts are few and far between in Luton. It was even more of a treat because support was Wreckless […]

I don’t get why it should feel sad but I’ve gone to far far more gigs on my own than with others. I would have thought it was sad to drag someone along who doesn’t want to be there or even sadder to miss it […]

Presumably if you want to keep things separate, you can also just point Media Monkey at your music and ignore iTunes altogether.

The only time I was about to upload the footage to the plod site set up for the purpose I discovered that the requirement was 5 minutes of footage either side of the incident, as it was less than a minute after […]

I tend to agree. I think it only aggregates plays from the Spotify app. Stuff I’ve played at home using Sonos doesn’t seem to be as prominent in the list although I reckon I’ve played certain albums just as much.

I do listen to most stuff from Spotify and my book ‘reading’ is from Audible or local library (audiobook) downloads. I still prefer to read a newspaper in the traditional format (ie pages and columns) but I […]

I’ll be treating it like any other day too. I have ‘celebrated’ NYE in the past but not really with any gusto as, just like things like birthdays and christmas, I don’t really get what it is I’m supposed to be […]

This is the problem with everything being built in. I would always prefer to have basically a monitor with lots of inputs but the manufacturers seem to think we would prefer to replace the whole thing on a more regular basis.

Having spent the best part of the decade for a follow up to what I consider to be the decades best album, I found Cobra Pumps a little underwhelming…. perhaps I need to go back to it.

Two things… 1. I post very regularly. 2. That Pip Blom album is just the right sort of thing to listen to while coding… I find it’s a late morning album… OK, 3 things… I’ve love to see Ags Connolly doing a […]

The last 10 (effectively random) years have seen some fine albums and, although I don’t feel like my tastes are in the middle of the mainstream I’m surprised to realise that I’m so out of step with other’s ideas. […]

Our year wasn’t nearly as bad as that but we have had the NHS to thank for speedily getting the scalpel out when my wife ‘found a lump’. The early stage it was found, my wife’s otherwise general fitness etc mean […]

I struggled a bit to get to 15 albums that stand above the rest but I’ve got quite a few that I’ve not listened to as much as I could have done.
The good thing is that my list includes 6 artists that I’d not […]
