It’s not the number of humans on the planet that is the root of the problem, it’s the bad behaviour of humans. “The population problem” is a red herring, I suspect. Urban crowding is a problem, for sure, but there […]

I thought you were talking about two different albums there, but seemingly not. Is he trying to put people off with that title?
Anyway, I had a listen on Spotify earlier and was mightily impressed. Tenor […]

The line between Xmas day morning and afternoon has been a blur for me ever since I attained adulthood.
Breakfast fryup (essential) sometime around 10-11am and then a blank until gathering at the table for Xmas […]

Both of them?

Thang and Thing are not the same “thing”, in fact. There is a subtle difference in meaning which is almost beyond my powers of description but nonetheless exists. Things can be tangible or intangible. Thangs are […]

Completely unschooled in this area of English grammar, but shouldn’t the B of “be” be capitalised there as it’s a verb?
I don’t capitalise “the”, “to”, “from”, “in”, “of”, “by” when I remember, but it’s a thing […]

Not heard those. Ishall have to look out for them.
I saw Binker as part of the supporting trio to Seed Ensemble the other week. Have seen him previously in Sarah Tandy’s band.

Of course everyone knows that Sigourney Weaver is the neice of Doodles Weaver, male vocalist with Spike Jones and his City Slickers.

Put a sock in it?

My phone and bluetooth speaker occasionally refuse to pair properly. Usually it’s because the speaker thinks it’s still paired to my laptop. Sometimes the sound from the phone starts breaking up and I have to […]

If the cover image had just one person without a hat it could be construed as correct.
More than one hatless person on the cover and they have got it wrong.

In Nottamun Town not a soul would look up,
Not a soul would look up, not a soul would look down,
Not a soul would look up, not a soul would look down,
To show me the way to fair Nottamun Town.

Met the King […]

Some mighty good selections there, Mr. Squeezer.
Another one you might like is “Driftglass” by SEED Ensemble. A ten-piece band out of the same stable as Kokoroko, Rosie Turton, Sarah Tandy, Nerija etc. Two […]

Kyle Eastwood, jazz saxophonist son of actor Clint.
Liv Tyler, actress daughter of singer Steven.
Nora Jones, singer/pianist daughter of sitar maestro Ravi Shankar.
Markus Stockhausen, jazz trumpeter son of […]

Perhaps he feels the waters are muddied enough around the subject without tossing his personal opinion into the pool at this point. Especially as he now says he won’t campaign either way once he’s negotiated the […]

Both CDs from my swap-mates received and both have been played a few times. Nothing that I hated on either one, you may be relieved to know.
Reviews to follow on Friday, probably.

I think Townshend was rather in favour of Punk’s energy. Apparently he was very supportive of The Ruts and the People Unite thing around them and Misty In Roots.

3 pints for my dart-playing peak. Rapidly downhill thereafter, whether I drank any more or stopped. Not that I was much good anyway.

That doesn’t work either.

I suspect BoJo can and will go lower before all this is over. He truly is a despicable piece of filth.
