When we lived in New Plymouth there were Walker Brothers Solicitors plastered along the side of a car. I bet they weren’t even proper brothers either

I don’t mind the Eurovision but I wish there was a red button that could edit Graham Norton out

When I was a kid, for years that I thought Hugh Cornwell had his head missing whenever I saw the cover of that album. It struck me as a very “punk” thing (probably like when Vivian loses his to an oncoming tra […]

Like everyone’s said, tough to whittle it done to 10, it’s not a greatest albums of all time, just my favourite 10

1.Hex – Bark Psychosis
2.Lexicon of Love – ABC
3.Forever Changes – Love
4.The Kick Ins […]

When I lived in New Plymouth there used to be a car going round with Walker Brothers legal services.

Slightly off the musical subject, there also used to be a company that rented out transport for the […]

Eddie, you might find this helpful then. And you don’t really need to understand Finnish either

Not sure if this’ll fit your criteria as it’s 1968 but it’s beautiful almost proto-Portishead*, so dark and moody – Sure As Sin by Jeannie Green

John Martyn might work for a podcast. A large discography so plenty to talk about and probably a few folks on here who like his music.

And thanks as well for the podcasts, I really enjoy them and always […]

My old double CD of Electric Ladyland has sides 1 and 4 on the first disc and sides 2 and 3 on the second!

Outside in Las Vegas eh? They’d probably get some dust/sand issues there I guess (I’m not an expert).

Like a lot of stuff here, they just don’t get maintained properly. When you use them to get up and down […]

I live and work in Baku which has escalators (and the odd travellator) all over the place. Generally outdoors as well which means they get wet and jammed up with leaves and gunk during the autumn and winter. […]

Some great westerns already mentioned, I enjoyed a double bill of Monte Hellman’s The Shooting and Ride The Whirlwind earlier this week

Tonight there’s going to be a jailbreak somewhere in this town.

Well, I’ll give you three guesses as to where in the town this will be happening

An extremely feeble 3 from me and about as obvious as you can get, Kate Bush, PJ Harvey, David Bowie.

I could have boosted up to 5 but the Beach House and War On Drugs album’s are not the ones I have (great t […]

I saw him live at WOMAD a few years back and much as I liked the music I couldn’t enjoy the songs because of the excessive sweariness. And his between-song chat was the same too. It was so sweary it actually b […]
