Spotted Van Zandt as the singer at Frank’s testimonial dinner

genuinely love this album and always been my preferred ABC record. The songs and production are superb and the band included roxy music’s rhythm section. It may be the age i was when it came out but it has always […]

46 on CD for me. look forward to the annual Quietus list of obscurities

I’ve set it up and left it running for a large chunk of the weekend and the software certainly works better than Amazon’s when they provided the service with no crashes so far and over 30,000 track uploaded. All […]

I’ll set it up later and provide an update. Agree , best to have more than one option at a time a once the sums don’t add up they’ll pull the plug on it with little notice.

very interested in this – currently paying apple music/match subscription to hold all my music (90,000 songs) but not convinced they will do this for ever. Previously subscribed to amazon to hold my library before […]

good album as usual from Mcnabb – Making silver sing, one of the best songs he’s written in years. Worth an investment, if only to make sure he deems it worthwhile to make another one.

I was at that show too – Oasis were supposed to play until quite soon before the gig. Beautiful south covered ‘some might say’ to acknowledge who they had replaced that day.

and a fine first album it is.

Dubstar, very impressed on first listen, though less electronic than previous stuff, nice guitars in a johnny marr in electronic kind of way. Clearly not rushed, well crafted pop songs.

First album bought: Adam and the ants – Prince Charming
Last Album Bought: Bowie – Jim James – Uniform Clarity
Desert Island Album: Cardigans – Long gone before daylight
Last Album Listened To: Dubstar – O […]
