He seemed ageless. I saw a recent picture of him and recognised him straight away – “it’s the guy who used to come on after the creepy music, smile, and then introduce something like The Tale Of Sleepy Hollow to unsettle us.

Fun pastiche maybe but nothing new?

@dai No match for the mighty Barry Town though back then!

Norwegian filmmaker Joachim Trier obviously gives some thought to his choice of End Music. The Worst Person In The World played out by Waters Of Mars by Art Garfunkel. It seemed appropriate but for no real […]

I think the gigs with PC doubling on snare drum were specifically “An acoustic evening with Squeeze”? I also think the Fantastic Place album was excellent. Worth you taking another listen.

@tiggerlion Previous MAGA orientated films have bombed, for example Michael Bay’s film about the Benghazi incident, which tried hard to pin blame on Hillary Clinton.

@black-celebration I think Send In The Clowns was additionally hampered by being ubiquitous in the 70s. All those female singing acts on New Faces belting it out, it also being popular with the guest spot singers […]

From the OGWT 1981

Sorry I just posted similar. But Joe’s history deserves emphasis. I disagree though with your assessment of his time supporting The Clash, didn’t it open up lots of doors and inspire countless others?

Thanks Martin, I always look forward to hearing your picks to see what slipped through the cracks for me.

@alan33 I saw a young Welsh guitarist the other night, James Oliver, who sounded like the very reincarnation of Micky Gee. Highly recommended.

Just watched Farage at a live Press conference. To say he was “prickly” on the issue of his schooldays would be a gross understatement. His line of atttack on the ITV journalist was that they had Bernard Man […]

@dai Blimey, I get the sentiment but you are now giving a “pretty poor album” points in the rankings. Just leave it off.

@allium-salium Back In The USSR too mild? It’s Chuck Berry FFS!
