Flying saucers, levitation – yo, he can do that.

Nice. same album as A Whiter Shade of Pale, BKA Theme From Withnail.

The 80s started with Video Killed the Radio Star (79) and ended with Madchester Rave On (Sep ’89)

When people talk about the 80s they are 9 times out of 10 talking about big hair, gated snares and fannying […]

Lee Harris decides to go bonkers at the end of this.

See also his similarly incendiary work on Desire (with accompanying Hong-Kong-Phooey’s car-type percussion)

That’s a bloody great song. Pisses all over anything by Oasis.

PS. I’m not entirely sure that RW has ever known or cared who the musicians in his band are, apart from Guy Chambers.

I loved Clem Burke when I was six, which tells you something. He wants to be Keith Moon but he’s more like Animal from the Muppets . A genius and a total pillock at the same time.

Alexis Korner used to play that stuff, in between things like JJ Cale and James Carr.

Amen. See also Speaking in Tongues.

We’ve had this exchange about seven times over the last ten years. Which proves we are right.

He seems to spend most of his time poking around rural East Yorkshire, before getting into yet another fight which leaves him almost dead but which he somehow survives. I’m starting to think those stories are made up.

He’s great on Twitter, very funny.

And needles to say he was excellent in sniiiiiiiiiii-iiiiiiiiiiiip!

A reminder that everybody (else) on the Afterword lives in places where DI Barnaby is liable to show up. I live somewhere where McNulty and Bunk are liable to show up.

As some commenters remark he sounds less than totally enthusiastic about this one. Maybe he’s sick of the Beatles (I realise this is not a forum where that idea is going to be comprehensible)

That’s not Talking Heads’ best album, but I don’t think you can argue with Blind.

He said you should have listened to him and you said, “I was bloody listening!”

His lockdown diary would be rather repetitive, I feel:

May 29th: Appear in embarrassing video with Toyah.
May 30th: Appear in embarrassing video with Toyah etc.

That SDE interview begins:

SDE caught up with Giles recently to discuss how and why the remixing takes place.

Oh come on – we probably don’t know how, but we definitely all know why.

So apparently it’s a big deal that she’s written songs about her divorce. And that, gasp, people can actually relate to the emotional content of her songs. Wow, that’s radical.

I have to ask, have these people […]

Coldplay might have been inspired by Ed Sheeran’s album titles.

‘Play inspired by Ed… calm down everybody, you’re getting hysterical with overexcitement.
