@poppy-succeeds seen this Dominick Fernow mix on FACT?

I know he’s always been a busy lad, but there’s stuff here from records that I didn’t even know existed.

The Faust Tapes?

Everyone is spending all summer playing festivals. The venues round here are really quiet June – August.

But thanks for reminding me about Jane Weaver – I saw a local gig of hers advertised and then forgot all […]

Probably that I can usually find a reason why I am not to blame for, well, anything. A trait I am proud(ish) to say my daughter seems to have developed – when my wife gently remonstrated with her about not […]

Also, I didn’t blame anyone for the loss of my legs. Some Chinaman took them from me in Korea, but I went out and achieved anyway.

Also, what do you reckon they might sell in the gift shop on the way out? I’m betting on Joy Division oven gloves.

No. Have you?

It was of course the old site that turned me on to PLF. As far as I know, my dad’s never read him.

After 50 years of work I am retiring in June. During that time when I paid all my taxes I also did a little charity work and will be looking to do more when I retire. So jolly good what! for the toffs for getting […]

(Actually, it’s not really a sequel, but there’s a […]

Hang on, between you and retropath, that’s two people (who aren’t me) speaking approvingly of New Model Army in the last few days. These are strange times. My furrow is getting a lot less lonely…

I think anyone who is saying this has nothing to do with electioneering is being a little naive. Of course she can talk about the loss of her son if she wants to. It’s an awful thing, and I have sympathy for […]

or possibly with a further nod it could be titled ‘TMFTL’ .

The Fortress of Solitude is a superb novel. I think, though, this is the first time I’ve seen Lethem branded as part of the lit brat pack. Is it based purely on his age and educational background? To my mind, he’s […]

I’d agree with this.

I think the main point in the OP about social media witch hunts is spot on, but I’m not sure the Elton John thing is really in line with the sorts of examples cited in the Ronson […]
