The Song Remains the Same, yet for some reason Plant’s voice doesn’t.
The guitars in Big Brother & THC Summertime. Especially the second solo, which comes in like a wounded, flatulent bee. Great vocal, […]

The horsey sound in Jump Around, which I’ve just discovered is a sample from Junior Walker and the All Stars “Shoot Your Shot”, thank you whosampled.com

Black Strat has just closed at $3.3m dollars. If you couldn’t stretch to that, you could have grabbed the flight case for it at a mere $140,000

Not that I know of as yet. I’m sure some lawyers will have a new wall hanger in the days to come. I’m hoping someone does “a Hammett” and picks up one to play regularly – Kirk Hammett of Metallica picked up Peter […]

Anybody else watching the Christie’s Auction of David Gilmour’s guitars? The Les Paul Gold Top used on the solo for “Another Brick in the wall” has just gone for $360,000. His Martin D35 made $900,000 – surely a […]

I did some light reading about the Kabbalah after hearing Station To Station. (“Here are we, one magical movement from Kether to Malkuth”). Way above my pay grade.
My best friend in school got into Crowley on […]

Novelist J. G. Farrell, who drowned at 44 – he would have been a giant in literature had he lived longer.
Tempted to put Patrick O’Brian on there so I could have more Aubrey/Maturin novels, but as he was well […]

Yes, it seemed a copy of “To the Devil a Daughter” was mandatory in every house, alongside “The Agony and the Ecstasy” by Irving Stone. I chiefly remember the latter (which was a great read) for the knots in which […]

Living in Portland, all of Portlandia, obviously. Also Grimm, not sure if that made it to the UK, but it was kind of OK for the first season.
Portlandia caused an interesting “art mirroring life” spat- the […]

Cock of the North was an ugly pub, looks like it’s still there, but renamed and refurbed. Couldn’t really see the Young Ones being able to afford a place in leafy Henleaze

The Seekers! Dad definitely had some New Seekers. Not sure about the “old” seekers, though. I didn’t have any concept of cool at this point in life, and by the time I’d figured out what was “hip” I had means to […]

Ah! That makes sense why the fourth side was largely ignored by my dad. Cracking album! I’m going to recreate it as a Google Play(list) right now.

Where in Clifton? I used to live by the baths (which seem to be something called “Lido” now), and The Victoria pub. I did get yelled at by none other than Tony Robinson when attempting to leave my office in Park […]
