SEEN:
Couple of things on Netflix: “Pretend it’s a City” – New York “humourist” Fran Liebowitz in conversation with Martin Scorsese – acutely funny, smart observations on Big Apple life and beyond. “The […]

More jazz.
Bit late for Burns Night…but this sublime musical version of “My Love is Like a Red Red Rose” by the Scottish National Jazz Orchestra is very lovely. You can skip to 4.34 for the music – unless you […]

The vid pretty much chimes with my limited experience as a parish councillor. A neighbour asked me to join because they were short of numbers and you could be co-opted without an election. Thankfully, it was short […]

Tata Vega does a great disco version of this – but it’s been a while since David Cassidy put in an appearance here.

And some jazz – courtesy of Fergus McCreadie who has a new album out later this week. Very fine young player and if anything like his first album will have a distinct Scottish flavour to it.
Also – some scenery – […]

Thank you – though I haven’t seen dear, dear Dickie and Hughie for many years now…

Well, it wasn’t the best year to go into retail after a 20+ year break. I’ve sort of opened a record and book shop in so far as I’ve taken increasing amounts of space in one of those “antiques” centres that have […]

Very briefly – just one gig and then “musical differences” foiled wider global acclaim and riches.
We were called Emil and the Detectives – a four piece – drums/bass/guitar/vocals – and played a set of punk-ish […]

Not long to wait now for Boris’s Brexit backers to cash in on a no deal!
This was published over a year ago. It would be interesting if the various hedge funds still hold these positions.

The Vow on Sky Documentaries is a fascinating if overlong series about NXIVM – a US “professional development” company turned sex cult. The early episodes reminded me of some of HR fuckwittery I used to en […] -
