I concur. You can’t really argue with ‘They were going to be on the Crystal Maze, They were going to be on the Crystal Maze, They were going to be on the Crystal Maze, But they got mugged in Florida’ Sublime.

It’s fabulously awful! To me it brings to mind the work you always encounter in the GCSE/ Lower 6th sections of schools when you visit to meet your kid’s teachers & talk about ‘options’. Plenty of gusto & you c […]

I have to confess I’d never have recognised Sly from that photo. He looks like a Rastafarian elder living his best life in the Blue Hills.

An actual genius. Forget the flaws & remember him for stuff like this

Not sure there actually is a ‘meaning’ as such but I’ve never encountered better advice than the line from the song ‘Nature Boy’ recorded by Nat King Cole & numerous others ‘ The greatest thing you’ll ever […]

Junglejim commented on the post, What’s your favourite foreign word? 1 month, 1 week ago
I’ve always been delighted by Backpfeifengesicht – the German word for ‘an eminently punchable or slapable face’ ( a la Michael Gove). I also love the specificity of the Japanese word Aoye – meaning ‘reve […]

My take is that an object of immense cultural value to huge numbers of people was deliberately destroyed in what was almost certainly a wanton act of militant philistinism. It’s reasonable to assume that what l […]

I agree on the quality of their output, Paws. It’s pleasing to be a fan of a long lived band & still be quietly confident that their best is yet to come. I saw them in March – Dukla Prague kits, Hi Vis & JD oven […]

Oh poo, that is awful news. Absolutely one of my fave drummers & utterly distinctive- you could always recognise his stamp on a performance. A stylish type as well, always sharp & frequently did whole gigs […]

Junglejim commented on the post, David Johansen 4 months, 2 weeks ago
A tremendous front man and a singer frequently underrated IMO, probably due to the Dolls’ less than subtle musical approach. I’m very fond of his ‘Shaker’ album of old blues/folk classics, which showcases his old […]

Snapped up – thanks so much for the heads up. I can see on the shelf my beat up paperback of the Berlin Noir trilogy that introduced me to BG. The whole series for peanuts is the book bargain of the year!

Really saddened by this news. I’m not a die hard Jam fan by the standards of many & don’t care for much of Weller’s solo stuff but I saw them a handful of times as a snotty teen fairly early on in small venue […]

Junglejim commented on the post, It's All Too Much – An Epiphany 4 months, 4 weeks ago
The Wire has been likened by some to Dickens – it initially focuses on the lives of a very select group of folk, doing what they do & then ‘pulls back’ its scope thus illuminating how they are tiny parts of a muc […]

The duration of any novel is clearly no measure of its merits, but there’s a unique pleasure to be say, 100 pages into a tome that you’re enjoying immensely & knowing you have at least another 700 to go. I lov […]
