About Time is wonderful and I’m one of the people who like 75% of Love Actually. Haven’t seen The BTR, but I have heard it’s horse manure. Danny Boyle is usually good and sometimes great.

Looks poor, but maybe…Danny Boyle and Richard Curtis – it could be good.
Max the Dog commented on the post, The most awkward gig you’ve been to… 6 days, 9 hours ago

One mildly cringy moment at the Roger Waters gig in Dublin last year.
He seemed to be very well-informed about a new piece of legislation about to be introduced to the Seanad (our upper house) by Senator Frances […]

Well put, Mike
I only knew of him fairly recently from listening to the News Quiz podcast. Always a little disappointed when the panel were introduced and Jeremy was not on. Very natural, funny as hell and […]

Same here, Nick. Grants lyrics and vocals on that song have a poignancy that was not intended at the time of recording.

Big fan of The Go-Betweens. Currently enjoying ‘The Friends Of Rachel Worth’ as one of the albums on my ipod. Thanks Niall, I’ll look out for the DVD perhaps (don’t have Sky)

Similar when Macca played Dublin in 2003, there was a pre-gig poll for punters to send in requests. Predictably, The Frog Chorus got most votes. Unfortunately he chose to ignore the will of the people – I love that song.

Have to say I’m with Al here, duco. 1st album is OK but life is too short to endure ‘Love Chronicles’ again. I’m very fond of some later albums like ‘Russians And Americans’ and ‘Famous Last Words’. To be honest, […]

Shane MacGowan was interviewed on RTE radio recently. When the presenter said she would play ‘Fairytale…’ to close out the show, Shane asked her to change it to something else. Not that he didn’t like the song, […]

I saw ‘She’s Leaving Home’ at no.204 and immediately took umbrage.

Thanks Gary, that was great and a labour of love. An hour well spent.

Thanks for the hard work, Lodestone. I have added many titles to my list of things to buy and listen to this year.

As ever, I’m a bit behind and haven’t listened to a few 2018 purchases yet, namely Macca, Villagers, RT, Christine &TQs, TGTB&TQ. So I’ve only got a list of six:
1. Ruins – First Aid Kit
2. Temet – Imarhan
3. […]

I picked it up by chance last year – nice listen. I love her version of ‘O Come, O Come Emmanuel’

Nice to see Imarhan at no.5 @Locust. They will feature in my list as well.

Some fiction that I greatly admired in recent years:
The Book Thief by Markus Zuzak
The Blind Assassin by Margaret Atwood
Him by John Connolly

Agreed on GP, Steve.
Now that I think of it, up until recently I only had a compilation of Stevie Wonder, but I corrected that last month.
Max the Dog commented on the post, Van Morrison’s generosity 2 months, 1 week ago

My error – I should have made it plain I was talking of Billy Idol possibly being being a celebrity in the US – not JL. I’m also very fond of John – an articulate and surprisingly emphatic man.
