As somepone pointed out above, they are a terrific live band, they were both my last gig of 2021 and my first of 2022…apparently there are only 400 sales between Yard Act and Years and Years for the no.1 album […]

Sad News. I saw him at a Summer Jazz event at Kew about 10 or 15 years ago. It was good night out. Before that, I last saw him (or rather, I was in photos with him) when I was a little baby and he was still […]

oscar patterson commented on the post, Furniture klaxon 4 years, 6 months ago
The debut is a terrific record. All through the 90’s my mate Stuart & I toiled with a vinyl copy and a cassette to make a manageable CD copy – using his early consumer CD recording deck. About 2 months after we […]

I’d agree with ‘Small Club’ – its a boot I had YEARS ago (and lost and simply cannot find on the deepest bits of the web that I can find – they seem very keen on keeping it down) But on the strength of Just My […]

Moving around south London in a series of rented flats in the mid to late 90’s every time we moved, I’d set up the stereo and make sure ‘Dummy’ by Portishead was my first play. Haven’t played it in years, but it […]

Thank you – useful resource…I’m at either end of the spectrum really – Public Service Broadcasting and The National don’t clash by about 5 hours, its more trying to kill time in between 🙂 (I’ll probably check […]

oscar patterson commented on the post, Has anyone ever bought tickets quite so far in advance as this? 6 years, 5 months ago
Increasingly, the vastly inflated cost of attendance , dramas of actually acquiring the booking in the first place, and the expense once you get there has made me hate the live experience. And I used to love […]

I have a selection of different knives. If you can get to a Nisbetts or similar (catering suppliers) you can confidently buy their colour coded handled knives (coded by food type to avoid cross contamination) Or […]

I don’t often post…but I do come here every day, and posts like this one are a big part of the reason.

Oh, the amount of time I’ve spent on this exact topic…

another vote for the Bialetti Brikka – it has a small pressure reservoir and creates a great aroma as well as a grey brew. Apparently 9bar pressure will make espresso, and this only deliver 2-3 bar, so the creme […]
