I’m spending the whole night at work so not much of a NYE for me. I will open a bottle of prosecco and share it with the other four people in the building, but that’s about it. We have to keep awake until 7am, […]

Hmmm. It’s a point of view, though I think it’s a little bit unfair to describe someone doing a spot-on homage to Jay Graydon’s guitar solo in Peg WHILE SKATING BACKWARDS as “relentlessly dull”.

His latest thing is Cory Wong On Ice!

It’s pretty much as it says on the tin. Wong and his super-tight band (including Prince alumni Sonny T and Michael Nelson) playing on an ice rink. Even the drummer is […]

I have two Cory Wong albums in my Top Ten of the year, but from the look of things they won’t make it into any end of year list as it seems like I’m the only person here who liked them!

Left-handed five string […]

Yes, it took me about 30 seconds watching that clip to go “woah, that girl is worth listening to”. Then I investigated further and found their album, which I really enjoyed. I don’t think they’ve ever made it to […]

Correct – I was prompted to look them up after watching the Laurel Canyon docco that’s currently available on Netflix – https://www.netflix.com/watch/81034741

This is quite a list:

Past members:
Larry Ramos†
Russ Giguere
Terry Kirkman
Brian Cole†
Ted Bluechel Jr
Bob Page
Richard Thompson†
Wolfgang Melz
Mike Berkowitz
Maurice Miller†
Art Johnson […]

As a public service, I will add a few videos:

Special Brew?

Here’s my top 18 (as that seems to be the style these days):

1. Tingsek – Home
2. Benny Sings – Music
3. Silvertwin – Silvertwin
4. Couch – Couch
5. Tom Shotton – Forever Home
6. Lawrence – Hotel TV
7. […]

And now, having looked at it, I realise I should have said that you can see me between 2′ 25″ and 2′ 28″ – I mean who could possibly tell that I was lying?

I was in the audience for that video! I was at the back, out of sight of the cameras, fortunately for all.

Saw them last night and they were, I thought, fantastic. My missus reckoned they sounded like a cross between Squeeze and ELO, to which I replied: “I told you they were good!”.

10/10 will see again.

It’s just three shows.

I can’t figure out the other two shows, but CDs 3 and 4 appear to be the bootleg called “Summer of 93”, which is a soundboard recording, though I don’t think there’s any reason to believe that this (or the other […]

That was pretty interesting. The worst sounding CD I have in my collection is Ozomatli’s “Fire Away”, and I must assume it’s the mastering that’s at fault. It’s so bad that I was going to give it to a charity […]

Thanks for posting, TrypF – I have booked tickets to see them. The album sounds lush.

If you like Delvon Lamarr, then you might also enjoy Organ Freeman

Or possibly the Jeb Bush Orchestra:

Wow. There’s no comparison really, is there? I mean, Emerson is obviously no slouch, but Peterson is just in a different league.
