Great point about the whole Radio One culture. One of the flaws of the documentary to which HPS refers is its failure to contextualise his above-ground, in-public behaviour. All we see is Savile being sleazy, and […]

Most people did, didn’t they? Mine was to request a splurge gun fight for me and my friends, just like in Bugsy Malone. I still can’t understand why such a simple and televisual idea wasn’t picked, but there we […]

Totally. A lot of animated films suffer from this. The world-building bit is so much more fun than the quest bit.

The greatest song ever is either River Deep Mountain High, or A Day in the Life.
Alexa flip a coin.
Okay, it’s River Deep Mountain High.

“A lot of people think it’s a concept album. It actually isn’t. The first two tracks certainly give that impression: the segue from Sergeant Pepper into With A little Help From My Friends…’

Woah. Listening to this now, and it’s great. Thanks!

I haven’t got loads to say about this, just that right now I’m really into the psychedelic concept albums of the title, and I’m hoping to build up what might be a decent list. Your suggestions would be much appreciated.

The trouble with this story is that ‘kicking a cat’ doesn’t really do it justice. What happens is sustained assault. He drop-kicks it across the kitchen. He throws a bunch of stuff at it. He slaps its face. All of […]

Clarks Wallabees, but only in suede. I’ve liked them for so long that the bottom of my wardrobe looks like the cover of Ironman by Ghostface Killah.
If it’s raining I have a pair of Doc Marten vs Stussy

Leicester Bangs commented on the post, Do you Wordle? 2 years, 11 months ago
I got really into it, so I downloaded a fake version, WhatWord, where you can play as much as you want. I’ve turned out to be slightly better at WhatWord than I am at Wordle, which considering they’re the same […]

Leicester Bangs commented on the post, Great docu on telly about the best Disco film ever ever ever made. 3 years ago
Weren’t there two versions? The X-rated, grim and rapey one, and then, when it became clear that a lot of under-age kids were sneaking to cinemas to see it, a PG-rated joyous romp.
On edit: oops, sorry the […]

Great list, and good to see a nod for Floating Points (which I stupidly neglected to put on my own list).
It took me a while to get into it, mainly because it’s a bit of a departure from his previous stuff, […]

Oh no, just seen. What a legend. I first saw Sly and Robbie on The Tube, when they played their version of Ticket to Ride. After that it was just insane seeing how much their names cropped up on music I […]

I wish I’d spent more time on the rankings now. MBRID isn’t as good as Ishmael Ensemble, for example.
