Dolly’s done another dance collaboration:

That first paragraph has the dashes in the wrong place. It should be:

“But..but..but. It’s Liam Gallagher who has just scored his second No 1 album in a feat that he has
– in typical understated fashion – quo […]

Well, this is very depressing.

I had two tickets to this, but the GLW got flu – so badly that she ended up in hospital (has been there for nearly a week now!), so I couldn’t go as our only babysitter was […]

I knew he had an addiction problem, but I didn’t realise it was this bad.

Cory Wong has dual drummers playing not quite two drum kits (though more than just one drum kit, to be fair). He calls it the palindrum set up. Here’s a video where you can see how it works:

Here’s another weird fact. Hot water and cold water sound different when poured and most people can tell the difference between them just by listening:

That is indeed a cracker. And I see they’re on tour at the moment!

I hope this counts, because the whole album is awesome:

I think ELO probably count as power pop don’t they?

If so, then I present this, which is a pretty perfect ELO song except that it’s written and performed by David Myhr:

His stuff when he’s not channelling […]

Just as I suspected.

Nobody here actually believed it, did they?

It’s not the first time I’ve heard about it either – that doesn’t change my scepticism about this particular email.

A bit more of Mick Ronson’s contribution would be great to see.

Exactly – it looks like anyone could have emailed that to the Council.

I suspect Sasha Baron-Cohen.

Earl Slick doesn’t play on the Nassau live album – it’s Stacey Heydon: a Canadian but a guitarist nonetheless.

I’m enjoying this one quite a bit, which is just as well as I’m going to see them live next week, at the Lexington of all places.

No doubt you are both right and I’m just complaining because for once it’s a box set by a band I’m actually interested in.

Anyway, to make up for my grumbling here’s the singer and drummer from Dawes doing a […]

It’s “we skipped the light fandango”.

I, too, am a big Procol Harum fan. Mainly it’s because they were the first live band I ever saw (well, apart from the support band, who were Be Bop Deluxe) and I’ve had a […]

That was Sleepify by Vulfpeck, who far from being a Nordic metal band are an American funk band – rather good too. Here they are a few months ago in Dublin – not often you hear an entire audience singing a bass solo!

Here’s another McDonald cover. Jo Harman doing “I Can Let Go Now”
