I had Hamish Hawk recommended to me recently, so had all 3 albums to listen to. He’s very good, isn’t he?

Saw them last night at the Oxford O2 and they were excellent: largely sticking to the last 2 albums as far as I could tell, and props to the soundman. Anyone else find it amusing that their names are Brian and […]

Mrs Malc and I lapse into Alan Partridge quotes at times. Probably the most common is the last line of every chapter in his autobiography, i.e. “needless to say, I had the last laugh” which applies to a few people […]

Purely tactical in my case, whoever is best placed to oust the Tories. The boundary changes have quite an impact in our neck of the woods; Witney was very safe Tory (and probably still is) but the new constituency […]

I saw the current line-up in December supporting From The Jam, and they managed to squeeze TV Stars in even then. Was chuffed to get a handshake from Jobbo afterwards, he seems a top bloke. It wasn’t quite up […]

One thing that bothers me is that the comedy podcasts aren’t uploaded to BBC Sounds until a month after broadcast. For shows with any kind of topicality (News Quiz being the most obvious) this is just bonkers.

Well, I loved it. We were on the dancefloor in a fairly middling position, and the sound to my uncritical ears was…fine, really. I’ve heard better, but also much worse. Certainly no echo as reported by Steve, […]

I still love Marli Siu’s “It’s that Time of Year” from Anna and the Apocalypse. Makes Santa Baby sound innocent: And I can’t let HMHB’s “It’s Cliched to be Cynical at Christmas” go unmentioned:
