Does anyone like Stickle Back?, utter bottom feeding trash. Pick any song, their tune “Superhero” (?) seemed to be programmed ad nauseaum on Radio 1 in the dim and distant past. Anyone like (N)ed She(e)rin?, […]

A brilliant voice, many of the good uns have been taken above. But I’m a largely booster of this one. Terrific picking which I’ve tried and no doubt failed to emulate over my years of playing. Simply beautiful.

I stole this bon mot but whenever I give Trout Mask Replica or Bitches Brew (I own the first, borrowed the latter from the music library) another chance every so often, it always tickles me and is accurate to my […]

The holy trinity of Beatles, Beach Boys and Stones could prolly easily fill such a thread To whit, The Stones = Dandy Warhols Bohemian Like You, The Beatles = Tears for Fears’ Sowing The Seeds of Love. I think […]

Heh, that there Simpsons episode was soooo long ago. I got the reference, I miss good Simpsons episodes. Then again, I miss my youth more. Nothing to really offer on the Punkin Smashers but at least it’s not Limp […]

Well FWIW, Pete is a booster of both brothers solo work, as well as being outspoken about his love of Oasis, and very few people make that claim. Is it true? For you to decide and they have done him favours both […]

Also came through the gateway of Martyn Joseph by coincidence. Love his take on MJ’s ‘I Will Follow’ (at 8:30, worth 4 minutes of anyone’s time.

Wasn’t a big fan, that said I still own some CDs by The Sab Four and this little gem, I was reminded of a few years back on visiting a chum, is possessed of genuinely touching Beatlesque gentleness. Written, fact […]

I also saved a few pages. Mostly a memorable bon mot. To this day, I still get an internal laugh from a few comments but one in particular stuck with me. On the return of The Stone Roses – I saw one concert in […]

When you come around / You bring the Summer Andy Partridge wrote this for The Monkees’ most recent platter, a triumph, transcendent 60s pastiche.

Whenever The One I Love is invoked I feel I must point out this, few more blatant lifts in the history of Rockular Music, “I heard one today about The One I Love”. Genius steals… so goes the phrase Minutemen Stories)

Didn’t click this link, In The Light was the first LZ production that impressed me and made me investigate the group at length and, to this day, having heard almost all of the group’s output, it would be my […]

Great band

One of the people who made me pick up (and then learn) the six string, watching Kids are Alright as a teenager was an incredible head turner for me. I believe that some of the footage while great, it’s only a […]

Really nice cover by Sinead O’connor of this one too. I get the feeling the tune is so perfectly written , it’s near impossible to fuck it up

I’ve looked this book over, via ebay, but haven’t bought it yet. I’m after some revelations or fresh perspective. I read the John-Paul love story book recently (from my library) and it uncovered very little in […]

Move over Ex-Beatles, Meet The Sex Beatles, featuring eminently sozzled, prematurely balding fret-mangler (and erstwhile Kevin Ayers sideman) Ollie Halsall.
