I also thought Sally MacLennan but 1 person out there called that one. If I Should Fall was indeed Pointless.

First 2 you mention were Pointless, can’t remember mention of Yeah, Yeah, etc. Must have been pointless if it’s on the album.

I agree on First Light. Hadn’t played it properly for years but this reissue made me reconsider my previous negative view on it.

And yes, backing vocals are a strong suit on Sunnyvista. Not just McGarrigles b […]

I still think selective radio listening has a place – both of introducing you to something you haven’t heard before or sometimes reminding you of something you already have that you have neglected. The trick is f […]

I’m not sure this Government has Pret A Manger’s best interest at heart. More likely the Commercial Landlords who are bricking it about drops in office rentals.

I think the upcoming version of Dune may be good. Directed by Denis Villeneuve who brought exciting vision to both Arrival and Blade Runner 2049 on the big screen.

Apparently things were quite advanced for Richard Hearne as The Doctor until he insisted he would play the character in his Mr Pastry persona. I think that would have killed the programme long before Michael Grade […]

I think it was something like “Talking to an intelligent humorous woman doesn’t scare me. It F-bomb terrifies me”

Putting the F-bomb in the title was hardly going to be a winner though.

Great stuff. Thanks for sharing. Never understood why it wasn’t a bigger hit.

It must have been the review in this month’s Uncut as I also found myself exploring Bill Nelson’s back catalogue. I preferred his solo stuff
Do You Dream In Colour
Acceleration
The whole of the Chimera album.

Weller can still write a good melody but I thought he was overall less ambitious sonically and lyrically on this album. He sounds content in his life and been listening to old Van Morrison and Small Faces (for […]

I think Ploughman may be one of the worst things he has ever done.

Unman….Wittering……Zigo?

Tasteful guitar chops by Jim Mullen

No, not implying that. Just pointing out that your opening comments were off the mark.

So you’ve seen his filmography, you recognise that he has been feted in some well-regarded films, including Philomena. But somehow you describe Greed as an attempt at a big breakthrough. That was a niche film d […]
