It’s a cracker, huge number of tracks, all good – pretty cheap for a box set too.

Well, since I’ve logged in for a brief while…

SEEN: nowt, really – I no longer have a telly. I’ve been out and seen a few bands play locally, which is starting to happen more regularly. Nice experience seeing […]

I had to log in to listen to this – for no very good reason, I never did all those years ago. Dunno why. Bob/Hedgepig – it’s a lovely piece of work, thank you.

I have some good memories of meeting you both at […]

It’s spelt “Ponsonby-Smythe” but it’s pronounced “Throat-Wobbler Mangrove”.

Well quite. I’m ashamed to exist, really.

I do in fact miss that… where’s Colin when I need him?

… or the lovely ianess to tell us how he once met Matt Hancock at a party with Frank Sinatra Jr and he thought he was a great guy. And we’re all a bunch of failed-in-life beta males.

Ah… happy days…

Excellent post, thank you.

I recall hearing them first on a Peel session I think, in their early, jangly indie days. At that time, I liked that sort of thing. I’d bracket their first album with the likes of The […]

That’s nice that your kids like it. No finer praise for a pop sing.

“They have cute little faces, but they’re smelly little shits.”

Could apply to more than one person I’ve met as well…

Who’s a “person of colour”? Well, I am, I guess – British of Indian descent. Do I care if people use that term? Nah, as long as they’re well-mannered, well-meaning and not actively offensive. Context matters here, […]

… and no name.

My favourite band as well right now – more and more, as I age (gracelessly), I’m more inclined (see what I did etc?) towards their gloriously tuneful, unassuming nice-guy thing than I am towards anything that […]

Perverted genius. I WILL steal this.

Some 80s ones:

As Spike Milligan said, we’ve all got to eat. Fair play to her. Loved the Go-B’s back when I was a spotty youth. She’s a good drummer, too (well, a lot better than me…)

A mate of mine used to be acquainted with Peter Giles – he said his (Pete’s) volubly-expressed opinions on the subject of Fripp were, shall we say, something to behold. Not complimentary.

As for Toyah, I’ve had […]

Also a big fan of Giles, Giles And Fripp here – do you like The Brain as well? I actually like that stuff more than Crimso.

We Could Send Spangles.

Concur re fish finger sandwiches – the addition of black pudding sounds even, er, better. *heart finally gives in*
