Definitely. If you’re up on your Sparks enough to compare something to Hello Young Lovers then you’ll surely like this. Russell is the lead singer throughout and if I hadn’t been told, I would have just accepted […]

The tracks released so far lead me to think that there’s a lot of revisiting of old styles through the album. The review I’ve read says one track is reminiscent of the Halfnelson album!
I see what you mean about […]

If you’re not immediately taken by the first album then it might be worth then working backwards. It’s hard to tell when you’ve bought the albums as they came out. but there’s stuff on the last album that could […]

From the one review so far (and of course the four tracks already released) it sounds like the new album (out in May) will be a belter.
I’ll be at the Roundhouse in October…it will all be fine by then won’t it. […]

One of the things I like about visiting New York (and environs) is that there are constant reminders of FoW on road signs. Fire Island is one of them.

Whenever I realise its FoW-time I always struggle to pick one album (it’s rarely a single track). Often, just to span the years, I end up playing the ‘Out of State Plates’ compilation which is at least 50% stuff […]

As far as I’m concerned, FoW were the finest pop band of the past 25 years. Despite the falling out, I held out hopes they would pull together another batch of songs. I’m very sad.

If it’s a live ISO, you just need to ‘restore’ it to a DVD using an option like “Burn ISO Image’ or ‘Burn ISO’ which will automatically make a bootable DVD.

How did you make the flash drive bootable? I always use Rufus.
(https://rufus.ie/). Definitely works for Windows 10 and various flavours of Linux.

Are you sure you’re looking at the right thing? This page says $9.99 a month with the 1st 2 months free.

I imagine that a huge amount of the advertising revenue in mags like Mojo & Uncut is from live ads which presumably will look very different next month.

Before doing anything drastic, try downloading (and burning to a DVD) a ‘live’ ISO and just boot with that and see what runs (and if there are any vital drivers missing). Once you’re happy, install it… that […]

I don’t think you can but I do know someone who upgraded their Vista laptop to Windows 10 (via a paid for Windows 8 upgrade) when it first came out and is still happily running with it.

Surely that’s the really good thing about something like Readly. It’s especially a good thing with technical magazines where you can treat them a little like websites, being able to read lots of reviews of the […]

Yes, I’ve cut down to just two physical magazines a month now so I get the rest of my ‘fix’ from the free downloads from the local libraries with RbDigital and PressReader. Not such a wide variety as Readly or […]

On the subject of Sainsburys, we went there this morning to do our weekly shop and got pretty much everything we went in for (including toilet roll!). There were still some empty spaces and we had to buy a bigger […]

Ahh. Origami! Should have stocked up with printer paper instead of toilet paper!

This is the sort of data that I like to see. Proper facts (albeit ones that we – or probably experts really – can draw conclusions to). We switched off BBC news about five minutes ago when the interviewer […]

If they’re on a boat that has just arrived from China, they’ve been on it a very long time. I would think it’s entirely normal to get facemasks from China and surely ventilators are exactly the sort of thing that […]

I’d like to think the initial madness is rapidly slowing now. I completely understand that people were stocking up in case they had to spend 14 days in isolation but once you’ve built that stock up, you just need […]
