Dance, dance, dance, dance!
In your Joy Division oven gloves.

Two words that strike fear into the hearts of any Leonard Cohen fans;

Jazz Police.

To be fair, the video with the music removed is possibly the funniest thing on YouTube.

I decided 4 or 5 years back that after attending somewhere in the region of 40 of his gigs (in various guises and formations), that I don’t need to see Elvis Costello again. I’m not a big fan of his recent out […]

2, 5, 3. I honestly can’t remember the last time I used my CD player, any cds I get now (usually magazine freebies) get ripped to an external hard drive and streamed via Sonos.

I don’t use a streaming ser […]

I’m surprised you didn’t mention that I only look at the ones with “birds” in them! Fnarr fnarr….

Lots and lots, some I’ll never read. One of my problems is I collect Collins New Naturalist titles because they are beautiful objects but I only tend to read the ones that have some connection to birds.

I do c […]

I’ve seen them at several sites on the coast, at Titchwell, Holme NOA and at Cley. They aren’t common but with patience and a bit of luck you can get them. They’ve recently become established inland at my old h […]

Here in rural north Norfolk we’re a bit spoilt, I’ve seen nearly 90 different species of bird in, over or from my garden since we’ve been here including some quite rare ones like Ring Ouzel, Woodcock and Great […]

Have visited Australia a few times on guided birdwatching trips, your post just makes me want to be back again! Hopefully a trip to the very north of Queensland is on the cards when all the coughing and dying […]

I was disappointed not to see any Grant Green, I could understand a top 20 records list without him but 100? Shurely shome mishtake!

It was at the old place, and it wasn’t really a piece of writing, but Lenny Law’s collection of wig photos still makes me chuckle when I think about it.

Fair play to you Paul but I could never move back, I was never the hardest or fastest but like you I knew every inch of my local estate and every path, tree, bush and shortcut in the park behind my house. About […]

No freedom for me, I tested positive last week.

I met up with an old friend a couple of weeks ago, first time I’d seen him for 18 months, he asked me if I’d followed his advice and really given Adele a good listen, I said I hadn’t, I can appreciate she has a […]

Chatting with an American who was on an organised tour of the UK I was told that the previous day they had been in “Aay-ding-berg”.

My first “grown up” LP that I bought with the money I got for my 11th birthday. Having been obsessed with my mates copy of Ziggy I had high hopes and although a little disappointed at first I grew to love Pinups […]

Blessings counted daily.

I’m in Wighton @freddy-steady about 3 miles south of Wells-next-the-Sea.
