Freshly ground black pepper on a single fresh strawberry. You’re welcome.

Guinness 0. Its a game changer.

Well played.

Her performance is fabulous on this track. Also a shining example of a drummer ( Ray Lucas ) who gracefully builds their part through a track to add urgency and, erm, groove.

What strikes me as odd is that he is a deeply musical man, he has world class ears, so surely he must hear that it’s not working anymore.

He was the guest on the frequently excellent Sodajerker podcast recently. On good form.

Not sure of it is THE most beautiful song ever but it is, for me, the most recent entry into that canon. Went to see Roberto Fonseca this weekend. Fabulous band, exquisite musicianship throughout, but this was […]

Went to see Willy V on the book tour on its first night in Brighton. He was every bit as charming, self deprecating and interesting as I’d hoped. Had a little chat with him after the event and he said that the […]

Saw them in Brighton earlier this year. Third or fourth time I’ve seen them. Occasionally they made a genuinely awesome noise. But Anton’s level of self indulgence made it a hard performance to love. The tun […]

I can’t recommend a specific album. I can recommend that the only acceptable position for listening to Gong is lying flat on your back. Ideally on a beanbag.

t’s an odd act of over-compensation, to my mind. I’m grateful to my own, er, goddess, that she found it equally questionable. Her take being, when men realise they’ve treated women like shit for years, the best […]

I went to the Brighton leg of the tour and share your observation, Jaygee, that the latter part of the first half ( The Feminine Divine performed in full ) felt under cooked. The My Goddess Is and Goddess Rules […]

The Trini is indeed a beautiful object and much more playable, in my admittedly limited experience, than a Coronado…which are beautiful guitars but take a bit of wrestling with. I see above that you are a fan of […]

Thanks! Honestly they deserve a waaaay better player.

Excellent thread. Have a bunch of guitars – each of which deserves a more accomplished owner – but the faves are : Gibson Trini Lopez – custom shop from about 2016 I think, with factory bigs by. Looks […]

Suede did little for me until I saw them live. Brett A is one of the great front men. Not Nick Cave great. But pretty bloody great.

And Everyone says Hi is one of the great Bowie tracks. Not ‘Heroes’ great. But […]

No mags but I have loads of the CDs if anyone wants them.

He’s British! I have always assumed that he was born and bred in Nashville. Memphis at a push.

Is that to me? I honestly thought I had. Nobody is more surprised than me that it didn’t show as a link! But thanks for correcting.
