I never did see the menu for the Grand Vizier’s Garden Party so who knows what the dessert even was?

Another great list Martin, just one of many! Thanks.

I liked it early on when there was a bit more focus on music and music related style “tribes” but once it started banging on about high fashion and fashion week etc, I lost interest. However, in defence of the […]

Interestingly, Weller himself won’t hear a word against The (early at least) Quo, something to do with Rick Parfitt knowing John Weller and lending Paul an amp or something. Others may know more about this.

Sunbury On Thames…absolutely no-one well known actually born here, off the top of my head, but David Gilmour’s houseboat studio is about 2 miles downriver, Mungo Jerry, Tom Jones and The Walker Brothers lived […]

I always thought Peggy Suicide was great in places, as was Jehovakill. There’s a completely brilliant album to be assembled from the best of both though.

Where to start… Premier league football (love non-league though) Rugby Union (League is alright in small doses) Most science fiction Most costume drama Heavy metal Rap (love hip hop music itself though) […]

And Sunhouse…the wonderful Gavin Clark’s (RIP) band. Great stuff, I’m in for that alone!

I loved Blue Jean. A big, sing it out loud, fun rock song, with a silly but entertaining video.

Oh my goodness, yes, another vote for Come And See. Truly horrifying and visceral but amazingly well made. I watched it fairly recently for the first time. Astonishing stuff.

What a wonderful playlist! Going to have this on to start the day tomorrow. Thanks!

Yep, it was me that did the original post, and I can safely say you’ll have a great time, as we did.

Thanks, that looks like a wonderful playlist and I will listen with real interest. Saint Etienne used to be so good at this sort of thing didn’t they?

Watched this so many times over the years and I think it’s one of the best live performances/clips ever. Wonderful stuff, RIP.

Singer Geoff Deane’s (later of Modern Romance) book is an absolute hoot and thoroughly recommended.

Terrific singles band full stop, were BAD. Just Play Music, Sightsee MC, C’mon Every Beatbox, V Thirteen all spring to mind.

1980s James is completely brilliant, a much more interesting and satisfying catalogue than anything they put out after 1990.

Oh yes…hatred of opposing non-league football teams because of their fans, managers or officials! I’ll have Woking, Enfield, Kingstonian, Walton & Hersham, Dartford and Maidstone for starters…

Absolutely, any album that has the always touching Tank Park Salute on is always going to be worth a listen.
