That’s definitely true. Never thought of it like that before but it definitely is a lot of change in one decade.

I think it’s the greatest pop decade but then it’s the one I grew up in. Anything that highlights some of the stuff away from the Duran/Wham/Spandau orthodoxy would be a good thing in my book. Will watch with […]

I know I’ve had similar moments. But Rattlesnakes is a fabulous album, and I have great memories of seeing the band at Kingston Poly (just before the album came out) and at Hammersmith Palais (just after, where I […]

I went out at 6 am yesterday morning because someone local mentioned that Tescos had a fuel delivery due overnight. I joined a short queue at our local branch and it took 10 mins. Full tank as well, no restrictions.

Well I can’t usually stand him and I still found it fun!

Hmmm, thanks for that feedback, I’m a big fan too but I’ll steer well clear of this one. Shame on Resident…

What’s so dreadful about the Cold War Psychedelia album @SteveT ? Sound quality? Songs? Sounds of barrel being scraped?

On TV… Vigil I thought was an interesting idea, with a decent cast, but overall it was probably stretched out a bit too long. Late to the party as ever, we have finally got round to watching The D […]

I still do a bit of Facebook, although since the great purge of unfollowing people a couple of years back there is obviously much less activity on there, so I interact with it less. I follow quite a few people on […]

Blimey Leffe, what a sobering read. Hope you can learn to cope with managing everything and live as well as you can.
How I hate the stop snivelling and get back to work culture we now seem to be lumbered with. […]

Like that @TrypF , reminds me a bit of the band Pugwash. Might investigate further.

It’s next Sunday for us. We’re dropping the boy at Portsmouth and (although I haven’t let on yet) my goodness I’m going to miss him. Late eighties and early nineties saw me in Portsmouth too…we’ve been there as […]

Just got this, (the limited powder blue vinyl with bonus cd!) so I’m still at the getting used to it stage. Atmospheric is definitely the right word for it. My fav Saint Et album is Tales From Turnpike House and […]

Great, thorough write up Rigid. As a huge fan, I think I’m in.

It is that Rob Young. Eden was probably a better book than this was.

Don’t feel bad on my part @Gary , if I’m being completely honest I do the grabbing people and moving them thing too, and I might actually use your comment of “no point talking to me” when I’m with people I don’t […]

Music wise, we went to Southsea’s Victorious Festival but I’ve already reviewed that elsewhere on here. TV was a bit thin on the ground but we continued with The Handmaid’s Tale, even though it’s grim vi […]

Poor kid. I really sympathise with the deafness. A bad ear infection triggered sudden onset deafness in my right ear back in 2003 and it has affected me in more ways than might be imagined…yes, it’s obviously […]

I watched a few of his lockdown videos last year, the ones where he gives you the background to a famous bass part he played on. He’s witty, and informative on the bass/tech front, but my goodness he can be a bit […]

It’s weird with Abba…I can’t say I really like them or much of their catalogue but the songs I do like, I REALLY like. SOS, Dancing Queen and The Winner Takes It All, if you’re asking…
