Given that he is a well-known tee-totaller and non-smoker, i’d think it a stretch to think he was a cokehead. And I hate the guy!

You could add to the week the whole ludicrous retweet from a sycophant, describing Trump as “King Of Israel” and “the Second Coming Of God” (sic). Oh and he started a fight with Ford and GM as they are too “politi […]

I think all of the opposition parties agreed with a referendum in principle, based on the fact they did not realise Leave would win. I seem to remember quibbling about the Question and the non-binding nature of the vote.

OK but do you at least admit you were wrong in your earlier statements trying to pin the referendum on that Coalition Government?

The LibDems prevented the referendum from happening during the Coalition era.

It sounds like you still hold a grudge that the LibDems did not enter Coalition with Labour, however Labour were clapped out after […]

Saw it and enjoyed it. I think it suffers from not making its mind up whether to be a film with music or a full on musical fantasy. However I thought the recreation of the 80s was very good and it cast my mind […]

Someone on Sky last suggested Ken Clarke as the figurehead of an emergency Government, prior to another GE.

Pre-Carter TUSM, Jim Bob and Fruitbat were the band Jamie Wednesday and did this version of White Horses

Couldn’t agree more TrypF. The Wondermints were a slightly unknown quantity to me before that Borderline gig, then they opened with a fantastic cover of “Porpoise Song” and all was right with the world […]

Presuming you are already acquainted with Bobby Charles and Dan Penn in the Swamp Soul mode.

I think one of the great Country Soul albums of recent years was Shelby Lynne’s I Am Shelby Lynne. Very Dusty i […]

Not just Americana MC. SXSW covers all genres. For example, Anderson Paak and Chance The Rapper seem to have broken after good appearances in Austin.

There was an earlier band from Ireland called Girl Band, circa 2012/13 if I recall. Fontaine’s DC do seem to owe a bit to them. The shouty voice over post punk riffs.

Anyway I read that Girl Band, over v […]

Totally agree on Stella Donnelly. She is good on record but great live. I think part of it was that she was jazz trained. Her chord structures are a bit different from the usual pop.

I’m also with you on Lula W […]

I second you in your love of WWDITS. It is silly but makes me laugh out loud several times an episode. I like the part you quoted but my personal favourite was probably the end of the Werewolf fight.

A recent trip to New Orleans re-energised my listening to the good Doctor. I first saw him around 1985 when his heroin habit made him look around 80 years old. The “habit” had pushed his career into decline and […]

Lauren Laverne played a track by them the other day which sounded very good. Thanks to your review I will try and get to see them on Friday in London

I think his argument is not realising Meghan was mixed race. I tend to believe him based on 30 years or so when i’ve never heard him remotely be racist. However, everyone will have their own opinion.

Dave, I think he has admitted/tweeted that his loathing for Hoddle is all due to non-selection of his mate Gazza (right decision in my mind) DB’s continued criticism of a Hoddle made me think less of him (DB not Hoddle)

Thank you Mod Team. Brighton by any chance? Meeting the Rockers over Easter?

I really look forward to this thread every month, even as a lurker than a contributor.

It seems sad then that it has not been pinned to encourage further participation as was traditional.

Please MODS
