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 […]

Loved both their full length albums. I’ve owned The Wrong People on cassette, vinyl and CD at various points. I’ve got vinyl rips of their really early stuff too somewhere right back to Shaking Story/Take A Wal […]

That was my favourite for a few years. It felt quite raw and stripped back compared to everything after the first album

Strides isn’t such a Sweeney-thing you know. Was quite a commonly used word growing up in Brum in the 70s, 80s and early 90s. I still say it now occasionally

Thanks, you are correct. It was Complete Madness

Planet Earth 12” – Duran Duran
No shame in that for me, as an 11 year old the first time I saw them on the telly the looked like they’d been beamed down from another planet (see also Prince and The Rev […]

I lived in New Zealand for a few years and everything was “awesome”. Quite often people were “stoked” as well

Leedsboy, your avatar thingy is the great Jimmy Rimmer isn’t it?

There’s a lovely compilation of Kirby’s stuff on Ace

The Impressions Complete A & B Sides 1961-1968 is a very nice compilation

Didn’t Pump up The Bitter go something like:-

16 pints and what do you get
You wake up in the morning and your bed is wet

I lost mine years ago but needed them for immigration paperwork. I’ve moved countries a fair bit. The best I could do was email the school I went to and send my brother’s mother-in-law with cash down there a wee […]

I’ll probably end up going to see this.

I haven’t really enjoyed anything much that he’s done since Jackie Brown but weirdly still ended up going to see everything since then (apart from Death Proof). Proba […]

Great podcast and sounds like it could have gone on easily for another hour. I imagine into the next hour there would have been mention of Soul Jazz’s fabulous series of Studio One compilations, their 100% to 6 […]

Yes it can feel very like “WTF” here some of the time!
