And the re-establishment of a Hard Border down the middle of the Steptoe house, as in that classic episode where the pair of them fell out [even the TV was split between them – I think Albert ended up with the […]

I have a Yamaha stage piano and an antique harmonium, and I wouldn’t dream of hanging them on a wall.

What is it with you guitar nuts?

I’m too busy [lazy] at the moment to do the actual work, but I’d be grateful if someone else could cover the following juicy-looking clashes:

“The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars” […]

I share your enthusiasm wholeheartedly. I almost dropped a post on Vulfpeck some time ago but plumped instead for Khruangbin. Love them both, but I think the ‘Peck have more genuine joie de vivre while the ‘Bin […]

I think it might be “West of the Rockies”.

I like it!!
madfox commented on the post, So I said to Elton John 4 months, 3 weeks ago

I’ve just ordered Elton a crate of pens for autograph signing purposes. He was understandably a bit anxious about quality control. He said, “It’d better not be a huge consignment of dirt-cheap ballpoints.” I said, […]

I like to phonetically spoonerise vowels as well as consonants, sometimes whole syllables.

Every Saturday I lie my truck and buy a couple of tittery lockets. I always go for the lippy ducks. You never know, I […]

Thanks, you’re too kind!!

My excuse is that I’ve just been to see Tim Vine, master of the painfully contrived pun/spoonerism/mishearing, experimenting with material for his upcoming tour. I’ll give you some […]

So I said to Elton John:
“Elton – you’ve written some wonderful music in your time. How would you describe the feeling you get when you’ve put the finishing touches to a song, and you just know it’s a classic? Is […]

To be honest, Tiggs, I was looking for the number of HIGH-QUALITY songs involving a certain name, rather than simple frequency.

I only have to watch the video for “Blend” to get my mojo back.
madfox wrote a new post, Candy 7 months, 3 weeks ago

Name songs. They are countless, and their quality is variable. From the heartbreaking beauty of Lennon’s “Julia” to the mind-numbing crassness of… well, there are too many bad’uns to choose from.
It struck me […]

My youngest daughter’s ex-fiancé’s aunt’s mum was June’s best friend since childhood. No, really. I attended the great lady’s 90th birthday bash laid on by Friends of Wimbledon Theatre and can confirm that June […]
