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.

Another band I completely missed while they were extant was 3 Blind Mice, who actually feature one of the current line-up of ELO. Here’s a fantastic song from their one album:

And another track from that album, […]

One I recently discovered is “Free at Last” by someone called Josh Fix, who plays and sings more or less every note on this. The whole album is full of power poppy goodness, but here’s just one track from […]

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.
