John Kongos’ version of the song is indeed excellent,@Munster. But I’m not sure I don’t prefer The Mondays somewhat more laid-back, jazzier version. But i am fascinated that they chose to do a cover of a […]

Thanks for an excellent review @Munster. I looked through the tracklist and saw many old favourites. I was very pleased to see a track by Pentangle rubbing shoulders with Nucleus and the the Keef Hartley […]

Thanks @Munster for the sad, back-story of how Solomon Linda was royally ripped off.

That was fascinating @Munster. I am all in favour of getting the bigger picture. Going off piste for moment, can I recommend Damon Galgut’s Booker Prize winning novel The Promise. A family saga abut an […]

I am glad you mentioned Earthworks @munster. They have done this rather excellent compilation of SA gospel music. Here are Pure Gold And the Holy Cross Choir

@Munster Nice selection – are you familiar with the Matsuli label ?

@Munster Have yo ever heard KH speak? The only person she ends up tying in knots is herself

Your lists are very intersting @Munster Film Club One’s programme would have been perfect for us in Kärrtorp! Except for Hit the Road (typical eh?), every film on it has been shown by either our film club or as […]

Wow! Thanks for such a wonderfully detailed answer @Munster. I will look through it more carefully this evening and reply to you about which of those films we’ve screened. There’s a fair bit of […]

I really did try to sell On the Road to my colleagues, @Munster. But one of them had seen it and was under-awed so that was it. We had a short list of 30 films to whittle down to 7 so the competition was […]

@Munster Seconded, a fantastic film. Funny and moving.

@Munster that’s deep knowledge! There’s a few fans who will enjoy this as much as me. Do you know Chris Albertyn of Matsuli Records? He has a massive collection at his place in Durban and is digitising rar […]

Interesting @Munster they are all my favourite records to incl the Dynai stuff on Enja.

@Munster There’s something about hearing VdGG on a wireless. The first time I heard Lost from H to He was on a small transistor while hiking around the southern uplands. Someone had brought a wee radio to h […]

@Munster this is the record I gave him. Very raw.

Is it Starmer that @Munster is calling principled? Or is it those within his party who have criticized his stance? The Labour-supporting muslims who have cticized his stance on a ceasefire are even less likely to […]

@Munster It looks like I have the original issue of the three boxes rather than the Redux set. Can’t find an edition number – don’t suppose you know how many of the original set were produced? Ta.

Agree, agree, agree – @Munster beat me to it! Even Flying Teapot (usually the primary focus of any ire relating to inexorable guff) has some excellent, original and interesting jazz-rock behind the vocals. […]

@munster – the legislation re banning selling petrol/diesel cars applied to New Cars only. There will be available a multitude of secondhand planet-destroying vehicles well past most of our rapidly declining years.

I am the total opposite of @Munster on the other thread. Making a good cup of tea is my one skill. It’s not difficult, but a surprising amount of people make a bad one. Not me though, i could turn pro (if such […]
