Ta @kdh.
I did see them last time they played Glastonbury but failed to notice a no-Bob. then. Mind, there may have been drink taken..

@KDH

Actually, I think you’ll find they’d much rather it if they were left behind.
In 1690 to be exact.

Paradoxically, they were well ahead of the curve when it came to
electing buffoons as leaders

@mike_h and @kdh

Big fan of the Comsats. A bit too good to be popular.

@KDH , I just had a look at the ACDC list. Bizarre and how is this for a comment:

11. Ride On (1976)
Regarded by many fans as the band’s most heartfelt song (and a favourite of Belle and Sebastian’s Stuart Mur […]

@KDH
Kind of says it all.

@KDH
Fully agree with the “too many 4 star reviews” line.
Seems that if 50 albums were being reviewed, 1 would be a 3, one a 5, with 48 4s.
I was cancelling my sub in February anyway, so I was part of the […]

Well posted, the @KDH , I love covers and a well crafted drippy can be great. Indeed, I will soon share the Cover Me Songs 50 best covers of the year, which will certainly include one or two.

Actually had a customer query about Being There just the other day. It’s not available as such in the UK – there’s no UK version in the catalogue, and that version on Amazon is clearly an import (come on @KDH, […]

Thanks @KDH! A completely new name for me and he sounds like a fascinating film-maker. I will keep my eyes peeled.

No I hadn’t! Thanks @KDH. It is interesting how, when an opera singer does a pop song, it acquires quite different qualities.

@KDH
Sensational! Only a mild misremembering then? I’ll settle for that…

thanks @KDH! The new owner has been talking a good game, looking forward to seeing what happens.

I take my hat off to you @KDH. You are a serious filmgoer.

We have just enjoyed Mamma Mia 2 on DVD. Good to see a film which shamelessly intends to entertain getting a mention here. The set pieces are a […]

I knew that I (used to) know you in real life @KDH! (I’m the English guy who came over to manage the Henry Street store in Dublin about fifteen years ago)

@kdh

Yep, saw this when it popped up on Spaceberk. Hats off, excellent piece. Clearly heartfelt.

The people I worked with cared about their sections and knew their stuff. All that knowledge and love…gone. […]

I couldn’t agree more @KDH. I worked in one of the smaller stores for about six years. We had one person responsible for the music section (me), one for the DVD/Blu-Rays and one for the games. I knew the music […]

@kdh

Nope , I don’t miss it now either (the daily trashing of the store at Christmas yuk. No matter how many staff you had it remained trashed) but it was fun, mostly, at the time. A young persons job mainly […]

Fair points all those @kdh

I used to work for one of your main competitors in a big Northern Town and you were known for your depth of stock. We too had Specialists (deffo a classical and world music. And […]

@kdh

I can’t listen to that and not just because “the video is not available.”
That second Propaganda album was quite probably the worst follow up to a debut album ever. …it still rankles to this day. Awful!

@KDH , thanks for the guidance. I have started with the most recent A Time To Love from 2005 (album before that 1995. Not exactly suggesting an artist with the light pouring out of him.)

Better than I expected, […]
