Yup, three for me as well. The rest on the list are albums I wouldn’t buy even if everyone and their moms recommended them to me…I understand that it’s Mojo, but how bloody old do you have to be to get on their lists?

I agree that it’s absolutely brilliant, and very difficult to get through. I had the opposite strategy to you; I found that once I was reading it I could barely put it down, but after every break I had a hard […]

Well, it’s true @Colin-H, and the reader is never far away from either a giggle or a lightbulb moment. If it wasn’t for this ability of yours I seriously doubt that I would have read a big book all about uilleann […]

Read: I had a really bad month for reading, time-wise but mostly just not in the mood. Part of the problem was that I suddenly had acquired too many books that I wanted to read and whatever I picked up I felt […]

You’ll obviously win by a landslide!

I am unironically of the opinion that Boney M’s Rasputin is one of the best disco pop songs ever recorded, so I’ll be expecting at least 2000 words on the subject!

It’s brilliant, and one of very few songs that even I, who famously can’t remember lyrics if my life depends on it, have managed to learn the lyrics to (without trying to). I can’t say that I find it has been […]

At first I thought you meant that she had died, and got very confused. But no longer making albums is of course also a cause to miss an artist.

Great losses, both of them. But I’m especially annoyed that we’ll never hear how Prince would have commented on what’s going on in Trump’s America. At least we have “Dear Mr. Man”!

I don’t whistle so much as quietly blow air through my only half-pursed lips, but only when I’m alone. I can hear the tune, nobody else have to. Sometimes accompanied by some soft percussive sounds made by my […]

Psst! If you go through that wardrobe, you’ll end up in Narnia…or possibly Skövde…I can’t remember.

“Bröderna bröderna bröderna bröderna Cartwright! Bröderna bröderna bröderna bröderna bröderna bröderna Bröd Lille Jo[e] sköt en sko mitt i huvet på en ko! Bröderna…(first two lines repeated) To the theme tun […]

Isn’t The Beta Band from Fife, or do I misremember?

One of the best bands in history, IMO, and he of course had a massive part in that. Although I confess I’m more emotionally invested in Marc Almond…today I’m sad, but when Marc goes I’ll cry.

As is true of most questions, the correct answer is the Taj Mahal classic “You Ain’t No Street Walker Mama, Honey But I Do Love The Way You Strut Your Stuff”. The live version, especially.

Jesus Came To My Birthday Party – The Middle East (great song too)

Also: what a lazy title…the use of the word fab should be banned for anything Beatle by now, IMO!

@Gatz, it depends on the band/artist of course, some I would go to see live again (and have). But I’m not an enthusiastic gig-goer anyway, I usually find the experience to be stressful, uncomfortable and often […]

Their most famous fan is of course the journalist Fredrik Strage, who rarely misses an opportunity to mention them and how many gigs of theirs he’s been to, and how many T-shirts he owns… 😀

Kite is cult…and known for their spectacular gigs. They don’t happen often, but instead they are unique and unforgettable – apparently (I’ve only listened to their records, never seen them live). They started […]
