I’ll watch it having watched all the others, but I think the series has suffered since it became purely scripted and not an adaptation of the books.

Only one store in Norfolk taking part, my local store was told it couldn’t take part because it didn’t do enough to promote the acts the record companies wanted it to last year. So it’s all about supporting recor […]

Jolene turned up in a job lot of singles I bought at an auction, I was amazed to find it sells for £12 – £20 on Discogs!

It’d be too easy to just post “Your Ghost” so here’s one of my favourite Kristin Hersh moments;

I saw her in Norwich on Monday, the last gig of the tour, as usual a lovely racket.

I helped crowd fund a book of Kristin Hersh lyrics which, along with a copy of the book, meant I got to attend a private concert at the Islington pub and got to meet Kristin who signed my book. Having been in […]

The audiobook has a beautiful surprise at the end.

All true, l have a 14 year old nephew who doesn’t think it’s big or clever to swear – at 14 years old! When I was 14 it was mandatory at our school and punctuation consisted of gobbing every 20 seconds, 10 num […]

I never managed to see the original band live but I’ve seen Roger’s version of the band many times, always amazed at the energy, enthusiasm and sheer likeability of the guy. I’m very sad today, RIP Roger.

Early – Alabama 3, Talking Heads

Mid – Elvis Costello, R.E.M.

Late – Nick Lowe, Emmylou Harris

All – Wilco, Leonard Cohen

I’ve just recently catalogued and cleaned just over 200 lps bought at an auction as a job lot, mostly tat and far too much Barclay James Harvest, but nestling among the Police and Earth, Wind and Fire Was a near m […]

I maintain that if it had been a 15 year old middle class white girl who had been groomed then brainwashed by terrorists the press would be calling her a victim and screaming for the heads of the groomers. She is […]

No one’s mentioned Jazz Police by Leonard Cohen.

The worst thing he ever did on one of his finest albums.

F’king Jazz Police…

That’s been my Sunday morning record too. Lush…

We are obviously the same person Dougie, I’ve been told however that the diet starts tomorrow when she who must be obeyed starts her “dust” diet – one of those soup/shake type things. It works for her but if I […]
