Along with London singer-songwriter Jason McNif, and an awful lot of ex-Q and NME journos.

I was unaware of her DJ rep but followed her on Facebook because her musical choices are always good. In my mind the character in High Fidelity was a Nanci Griffiths new country type. I arrived in London a couple […]

It really is fun, isn’t it? I do remember half the time drinking too much, convinced there was no one coming, then hitting the decks completely plastered when it was busy and absolutely loving it, “mixing” those […]

After turning the phone back on with Face ID or the passcode, mine seems to go blank for a couple of seconds which it never did before. I like the transparent effect and episodes in Podcasts are a good […]

There can’t have been (m)any other musicians who played with Bob Marley, Bob Dylan and Britney Spears.

Just got round to listening to the Carlos Alomar episodes – fantastic.

I thought it ws pretty good list but would incude … Slade Alive! The Rolling Stones – Brussels Affair Dan Penn & Spooner Oldham – Moments from This Theatre Gram Parsons & Fallen Angels – Live 73 Creedence C […]

Well spotted. I never knew this bonus track existed – and I’m quite the Fannies nerd myself.

Yeah, I get that, although Pompeii and the bootlegs between 1969 and 1972 are pretty special.

Same here. When I’m out on a walk or those occasional mornings when I don’t want to listen to music.

I should add by way of individual episodes. Justin Currie, Paul Simpson and John Robb on Music Maps, John Foxx on Adam Buxton, Saiorse Monica-Jackson and Self Esteem on Off Menu, and Penny Rimbaud on Lost Culture […]

Oh wow, thanks. That’s nice to hear.

I posted this under a Metro review of the album, but as no one took any notice, I thought I’d share it here for a more learned audience … Pink Floyd were a teenage obsession of mine and I’ve gone on to liste […]

It was a genius piece of marketing – got Wish You Were Here on to the Today programme – but an awful piece of work. It sounded like he’d never even listened to it, and we know he’s much more Wedding Present tha […]
