Matthew Best commented on the post, What was the last 7" vinyl single you bought? 4 months, 4 weeks ago
I’ve *released* a couple of 7″ singles in the last few years (nothing any of you would have heard of), but I have to go a bit further back to find one that I actually bought. I think it was this, about six years […]

Pianist Jesus Molina hears Prince’s “1999” for the very first time – once – but only the drums and vocals (i.e. no other music) and then plays piano underneath it and we all get to judge how he did.

I wasn’t sure of the rules – it is a re-release, but it is a completely new mix. Don’t know where that means it should go. Similar with the Boys Wonder album really – recorded back in the 80s but never released […]

It’s a bit like T Rex crossed with Anthony Newley – I love it!

Unfortunately, the whole thing is on hold at the moment: Looks like Jones is upset with the auction because it was conducted using sealed bids and he seems to think this means he could have got more money in a […]

Simon Hanson (is that his name? I think so) is a great drummer, but he really whacks the drums hard and plays incredibly loud – and all the time. I suppose I’ve just said he’s NOT a great drummer in that […]

I think the remastering was done by Jerry Harrison, not Chris.

I’ve seen them twice this year – both times at the 300-seat Exchange in Twickenham, where they do warm-up shows for their tours that are announced to people on their mailing list. Both times they were fantastic, […]

I don’t really know anything about fado, but I enjoyed all of those. I did once see Mariza at the Royal Festival Hall and I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone with more charisma. She was other-worldly, like an […]

Matthew Best commented on the post, Glastonbury 11 months, 3 weeks ago
I agree. I couldn’t actually sing along to any of their songs myself, as I don’t know any of them, but everybody who was doing so looked like they were having a great time. I’m never quite sure how much of what […]

I don’t know, but I should have mentioned that sitting with Clare Balding was Gina Birch from the Raincoats. So that was also unexpected.
