It may have been mentioned that it was going to happen, but prices and details were released today.

No need to go crazy and pay that much. Sony make a thing called a UBP-X800 which plays everything for less than £250.

If you want a multi-region version you can upgrade for another £150 or so.

I’m afraid there isn’t any more, really. I had to go and look in my diary to remind myself and it turns out the band lasted about a week – which explains why I can’t remember much about it, I guess.

It was […]

Forgot to say – I was also in a band with Nik Turner! Very briefly, and a very long time ago – we did one gig, so I doubt he’d even remember me. We were called Chaos Factory (with good reason!) and Captain […]

That was very entertaining – the tour diary I mean, though the reminder of Sham 69 and Steve Hillage (I was also at that Reading Festival) was also good (not sure if that’s exactly le bon mot) to see.

Thanks.

That was a terrific review, which make me very excited for this evening, when I will be able to open my own copy (Amazon are delivering it today).

I am in rather the opposite camp to a few of you – I simply […]

He also mentions that he’s recorded “a new version” of one of his old albums.

But which one???

That is absolutely awesome. The magnificent Algy Ward (later with The Damned) on bass, too.

This one is a bit rougher and the band is a bit more energised. They were famously a bit miffed about the recording of “David Live” due to money problems, so they phoned in their performance a bit, I think. On […]

I popped over to Let It Roll Records on my lunch break and easily grabbed a copy of the Bowie “I’m Only Dancing (Soul Tour 74)” double vinyl. I was a bit worried about it because there was a disclaimer about the […]

Right now it’s this one:

Well, that was highly, er, entertaining. I wanted to see it slightly larger so looked it up on Youtube

What on earth is going on with the comments????

Her name was Paula – she changed it to Alaura after they got divorced. She now lives in California.

Blimey indeed. In years gone by I would have thought about going to a few gigs on his tour, but the ticket prices put paid to that, so I’m just doing the one show. And two tickets came to £206! Now my wife […]

I too have tickets to see Elvis Costello at the Hammersmith Odeon tonight, though my wife has indicated that she will not, after all, be joining me. That already puts me £100 out of pocket, so I’m buggered if […]

I very much enjoyed that, despite not really caring for his voice. The guitar solo bit is particularly entertaining.

I’m not going to say it doesn’t *sound* like it was written by a comittee, but I was surprised to note it was actually written by Billie Eilish and her older brother.

It does make it difficult to say it definitely happened – beyond a reasonable doubt.

And Rolf Harris was convicted of assaulting a girl at a concert in a community centre in Portsmouth which never actually occurred. Go figure.
