Ever seen Shortbus? There’s a very impressive Pollock/Bollock interface at one point.

It’s the new normal…

I’ve also found with Roon that if you apply to the user forum for help they don’t really know how to speak civilian.

Billy Fury and Duffy Power were ok too.

Joe Brown refused to change his name to Elmer Twitch.

Haven’t listened to this yet, but it all starts with chords, surely? The first thing anybody does when picking up a guitar for the first time (apart from trying to pick out Apache, obviously) is learn a few […]

Sadly my 1967 comeback prog album, Do Not Go Genital Into That Good Night, never saw the light of day.

She’s no Toyah Wilcox…

Impressive package, eh? You noticed…. I begged dear, dear Larry to put a ‘t’ in Genial, but he wasn’t having any. Probably why.

Just remembered that I introduced the b-in-l to Gavin Lyall at this time, and he worked his way through his oeuvre too.

Seconded.

My pro flautist brother-in-law mentioned above was a classical musician to his fingertips – he could play anything by sight and often did recording sessions where he would just turn up and […]

My brother-in-law was a professional flautist who played for many years in the English National Opera orchestra. In Wagner’s Ring Cycle he used to take car mags into the pit to keep him awake during the long hours […]

“On their way to Alligator Creek…” Frying pan…fire.

Actually, it’s a python, isn’t it? Big bastard, but couldn’t do you much harm unless you crashed the car while freaking out.

A subspecies is people who are just too. damn. BUSY doing stuff that’s above your pay grade to answer emails, even though doing so is a large part of their jobs.

Got the wrong end of the stick – thought it was Spotify you were bagging, but it was Tidal. I remember having the same experience with Tidal. I tended to blame Kanye West.

Not sure I can be bothered with an A/B […]

@junior-wells In what way is the interface not user-friendly? I can’t say I’ve ever noticed any problems. Nor with the limitations of its catalogue either. I go through the guitar and music mags every month […]

So where to the Sonoi fit on the good/better/best spectrum?

I gave Tidal a go on my stereo pair of Sonos Play:5s, and not being equipped with platinum eardrums I couldn’t tell the difference, or not enough to make the extra $$ worth paying. These days I have a fair amount […]

Good news all round! They’re not “rolling out” the barrels of stuff over here until the end of the month, having taken an age to approve both of them. Not the same urgency here, I guess.

I’ll be in the second […]

Well 35 quid for a lifetime subscription doesn’t look too bad a deal – assuming it works for you, of course.

Now this is a nearly five-hamper thread if ever I saw one. Or is it…

It’s when your wife doesn’t reply to your texts that you have to worry…
