My favourite film so far this year is Peter Strickland’s comic-horror masterpiece “In Fabric”, his fourth film after Katalin Varga, Berberian Sound Studio & The Duke Of Burgundy (all great, if you’ve missed […]

Lived in Hull for two years in the 90s, went to loads of gigs, but but ventured to the Adelphi only once…

And “Johnny Too Bad” , “Don’t Think Twice, It’s Alright, “Singin’ In The Rain,…

I saw them play the Adelphi in Hull in about 1997 (I think they were still just Fonda back then) – I thought they were tremendous, but as you mention, all the unfinished songs per album grew frustrating, and I […]

@Kaisfatdad – have you heard the Pavarotti version of “Caruso”?

@duco01 I seem to recall it’s actually PLP not PIP, PLP standing for “public leaning post”, I suppose meaning to hang around with, though implying a degree of intimacy – someone you can lean on.

I love Billy’s effortless vocal on Heart Of Glass – for me it transcends the weak production and lazy choice of song. I’m also rather fond of Helicopter, Helicopter from the underrated Perhaps, though I’d conce […]

I don’t know what that is – so probably not. 🙂

Afraid not – I’m in Belfast.

Well, you probably won’t believe this @Beezer – my actual name is David Howie, but I’m known by my middle name Keith as my Dad’s name is David also. Hence my incredibly imaginative nom de plume KDH. […]

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 […]

Just home from a work trip to Dublin to discover my favourite singer has gone. Always seemed such a young man, like Bowie it appeared he could go on forever, so this is rather shocking.
I first became really […]

Or Kiki Dee.
