Look who’s just done a Tiny Desk concert…. Those Mojo chart toppers, Pulp.

A very enjoyable account of what was clearly a stupendous evening. Your mum is very lucky to have a son who takes her to such magnificent gigs. It sounds as though you are a family of music lovers.

This is quirkily entertaining. It could easily pass as a trailer for a vintage, Hammer. horror movie. Beautiful young woman in white, gothic nighty is lying sleepless in bed when she is disturbed by the arrival […]

It seem that the term was first used by one of David Cameron’s entourage back in 2013 to describe certain Tory party members. The phrase was an instant hit WITH COMEDIANS

So true @MC Escher. This Guardian article was excellent on this. Critics of New York City’s mayor-elect have said his pledges of free bus service and universal childcare are unrealistic, but in Europe i […]

Thanks, Salwarpe. Hilarious. I may be wrong here, but it feels as if socialist has a slightly different meaning today than it did. Marx used socialist and communist interchangeably. The socialist state was […]

Thanks Vulpes. That looks very interesting. Dr Strangely Strange. …. A name that bring back happy memories of tie-dye t shirts, joss sticks, OZ and INTERNATIONL TIMES, and Sunday afternoons at the Roundhouse.

It is pretty fabulous whether it’s a mix or a list, @GARDENER. Some great song-titles….. Picnic in Purgatoy

You may need to visit Buenos Aires, i fear. I hope i am wrong, I’ve seen her twice at Roskilde. I must see if I can find some more clips. Here she is in Mexico. Rocking away with vigour.

What did i say about Johansson still being remembered? I was just listening to the radio and he popped up on this mash up wIth Nina Simone

Ooops, I’ll try that last Sentence again. One of the joys of the Afterword is gradually discovering other contributors who share my enthusiasm for a particular singer, composer, novelist, city, film director, […]

Here’s the interview… And one of her videos– One of the joys of the Afterword is radually discovering other contributors who share my enthusiasm for a particular singer, novelist, city, film director, architect, poet, a

I’d never heard of William McIvanney, the father of Tartan Noir or Detective Inspector Jack Laidlaw . Thanks for putting them on our radar, @Lando-cakes. A great quote from the Guardian obituary Detectives with […]
