Did the Independent consult with you before publishing this @Dai ?

The band could do with relaxing a bit more, but his vocal here is a wonderful thing – if only he’d stick to just singing.

Not colossally @bobness, but the lucky man was married to Denise Gyngell, the brunette from Tight Fit.

I have no idea why I know this.

Got that one too – on Pickwick (remember when Pickwick had stuff like the Abba catalogue?) – filled in a few gaps in my collection.

You may be right about Any Day Now, but i’ve never seen and can’t find any CD listing for it – it was released on a different label (Philips) to Stretch & We Had it All, which were CBS releases. Stretch & We Had […]

2/3 of it appeared on the “Classics & Collectibles” double CD https://www.amazon.co.uk/Classics-Collectibles-Scott-Walker/dp/B0009WWEEO/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=scott+walker+classics&qid=1553945015&s=gateway&sr=8-2 and […]

Or Kiki Dee.

From ’85, this has various Two-Toners, ex-Two-Toners and reggae stars – pretty catchy, but only made no. 33

Really pleased for you @Kid-Dynamite. Pleased also to see the Belfast store survive.

We wait and we wonder what’s happening with the online business.

I think “The Night Josh Tillman Came To Our Apt.” by Father John Misty counts here (sort of…)

Tears For Fears single-only track was The Way You Are – Mother’s Talk was on Songs From The Big Chair.

I know Thomas Harris has a new book out this year – could be him?

Referencing the same movie, from their great (half) Christmas album, Smith & Burrows:

The one that immediately springs to mind is E=MC2 by Big Audio Dynamite – basically a trawl through the filmography to that point of the (recently) late Nic Roeg – Walkabout, The Man Who Fell To Earth, Don’t L […]

Not sure if the new album has been covered here yet, so just in case:

It’s only available from the website until the end of February when it goes on wider release, but it is predictably wonderful (though in f […]

Thanks @Kaisfatdad

I may start using IMDb for this – Rotten Tomatoes does much the same, allows you to rate (out of 5, but allows half-marks) and lets you write a review, but frustratingly (very) occasionally […]

According to Rotten Tomatoes, where I rate every film I watch, I’ve seen 276 films in 2018 (plus a few where for some reason it doesn’t allow a rating) – these were not all new films obviously, but the follo […]

No – really gets on my nerves too!
