Shame you missed Katherine Priddy. She’s getting rave reviews for her new album.

Sexy Sadie is still entertaining the curious on Patpong Road, though trade is slow these days.

OK, I’ll play. I was never much of a fan of Wish You Were Here. By the time of Pink Floyd’s follow up to Dark Side Of The Moon, Roger Waters was already presenting his dark cynical world view that he took to g […]

I could care less…but then again

You could just take the piano introduction and be within the five minutes.

Nice one BC. The ‘banging cutlery’ remix, lol. Anyone who bought a 12″ single in the 80s will recognise that sound. I enjoyed the Never Let Me Down Again video very much. Will delve a little deeper later on.

but then, by the release of Knock On Wood, it was indeed ‘Bowie’.

The one name branding didn’t extend to the single. My copy of Rebel Rebel is credited to David Bowie.

Enough ‘person with a guitar’ covers of Joni – they never get close.

Indeed. The Delicate Sound of Mediocrity.

In 1973, Todd Rundgren recorded A Wizard, a True Star (56 minutes long) and Todd (a double).
He also produced two classic albums, New York Dolls and Grand Funk Railroad’s We’re an American Band.

Roger carried that slow groove on Aretha’s first session at Muscle Shoals. If you’ve never seen it, well worth watching the movie.

RIP

In a situation where someone has misheard or misunderstood me, I have been known to enquire “WHY YOU NO RISSEN?” in the style of Benny Hill’s Chinaman. Blank looks all round.

And if someone’s going to the bar – […]

QAnon and Adam Lambert

Isn’t that a great song? I’ve just been down a Sweet rabbit hole watching different versions of LILO. I even enjoyed the more recent version, with Andy Scott and his white wizard look (his own hair apparently). […]

Desperado makes the case for listening to just one album by an artist, compared to just buying the greatest hits. You get the measure of their ability to string a cohesive series of songs together. In the same way […]
