I love it when people who haven’t even produced any pop music want to discuss the merits or otherwise of pop music. 😉

I’m glad you enjoyed the show. I am going on Monday and was feeling slightly nervous about it being massively blokeish. I’ve just finished the first of the 3 Rockonteurs / Coverdale eps. Hugely enjoyable

I saw the LSO do The Firebird (along with Shostakovich violin concerto #1) at the Barbican two weeks ago. And what a performance of both, a mind-boggling exercise of rehearsal and execution. There is nothing […]

I particularly like the closing paragraph: “Thank you for your attention to this matter.”

@Gary – you did raise the issue, again. And please don’t see personal insults where there are none.

VPN on on Android and PC. No problem.

I’ve not closed anything. But what I’ve heard did not move me. Sorry.

But I do, and that’s what counts, wouldn’t you say?

Tedious. On the other hand I admire your tenacity.

I was too young for imperial period Yes (TYA, Fragile and CTTE, as I understand it) so I was spared the outer limits of their later indulgences. The wonderful GFTO was my first purchase on release so I think I won […]

Upton Park was a good day out. The new stadium is the worst I’ve been to in terms of atmosphere. And I’ve been to Highbury.

If I’d have read that Wiki article before I posted below, I wouldn’t have bothered.

Depends where you live. A radical left communist lunatic in New York is basically a centrist in the rest of the West.

Thirded. Must watch that again.

It’s a result that shows how out of touch the Democratic Party is, when they were trying their best not to endorse him throughout his campaign. He seems to have the right mindset to counter the racist monstering […]

Yeah, and great to read in one sitting after a weekend offline. I definitely feel a “bangers” playlist coming on….

I saw this done live at the weekend, and the whole thing rocked. Such a great song. I love that in their biopic they had Mike Myers (who in Wayne World obviously adored it) slagging it off. Btitish […]

“That’s what we’re gonna do (No way baby, let’s go!) We’re gonna have a good time We’re gonna have a party” It’s not actually music but everybody knows it, and you know you’re in for a good time for the next […]

Why does he have to live in Norfolk? I mean it’s nice enough but he must have enough money to buy a residence nearly anywhere.

Bowie of course. Prince for his legacy, but for his last few records he wasn’t the jaw-dropping force of earlier years. One I really really miss is George Michael. From the same bloody year that gave us Brexit and Trump.
