It could easily have been! Music wise I’ve been on a sort of quest, to make sure there’s nothing I’ve missed, cos just to take rap, reggae and jazz, there are hundreds of artists I now like, or at least that I lik […]

Crikey, where to start? Tom Waits, The Fall, Jazz, reggae, dubstep, rap (beyond the obvious ones), The IT Crowd, The American Office, Marianne Faithfull, Earth, Wind and Fire, Hall & Oates, Frank Zappa, The […]

Aside from Pleasant Valley Sunday, What Am I Doing Hanging Round is my favourite, but that one has been chosen above, so I’ll add this one.

Finished watching Obi-Wan Kenobi with the boy this evening. After we’d finished wondering, once again, why a 6 year old was playing a 10 year old, and how come Stormtroopers, who are supposed to be ‘precise’ with […]

I was about to ask you for his name!

I’m putting all my collection on Discogs, so when I buy things off there you get the option to add them to your collection and remove them from your wants list. I then h […]

I reckon it’s way more than just a conspiracy. I’d stake my house on it. He would have lost the vote had it taken place today.

No, and that’s one of Johnson’s master strokes, surrounding himself with stupid ‘yes men/women’ and getting shut of anyone in the party that doesn’t agree with him.

I had a telephone conversation with my (Labou […]

I’m in two minds. I want Johnson kicked out because of his behaviour, his lying, etc, but I don’t want them appointing someone else who steadies the ship and guarantees enough votes to see them win the next ele […]

Let Me Roll It is great. Band On The Run is my favourite solo Beatles album. It’s brill from start to finish. But if I had to choose any solo Beatles song that most sounds like the type of song one of the other t […]

That is exactly what I felt like. Now if someone wants to replace all my rubbish bits and turn me into a Sith Lord that’s fine by me. I’ll need a bigger repair job than Anakin though. I think the only thing of min […]

I was sad to read just now that the comic book artist Tim Sale has died, aged 66. He drew two of my favourite Batman stories, The Long Halloween and Dark Victory. Funnily enough, me and the boy were going to watch […]

Happy to see Goodnight Tonight on the list, as I didn’t expect to. No More Lonely Nights should be a bit higher though. And I would have had Every Night, Bluebird, Nineteen Hundred and Eighty-Five, Take It Away a […]

The boy has just reminded me that we did indeed go to see The Rise of Skywalker. The reason I don’t remember much about it was because of the pain I was in all the way through it. We went to watch it in 4D, w […]

The whopping documentary about the making of Blade Runner, that’s on the superduper edition, or one of the umpteen re-releases anyway, is fantastic. Certainly the best ‘making of’ film I’ve ever seen, and it’s ne […]

I think Barry Wom’s When You Find The Girl Of Your Dreams In The Arms Of Some Scotsmen From Hull wins this one, doesn’t it?

I was born in 1969, so the first two came at a perfect time for me. My dad took us to the first one, and enjoyed it as much as me. My little sister wasn’t too bothered. But when we came home I made her re-enact t […]

The machine arrived today. Dead easy to set up and the records have come out looking and sounding great. The only trouble I have is unscrewing the centre pieces when I take the record out, once it […]

I reckon it’s a bit like when Johnson expected not to win the Brexit vote. The government were hoping that the courts would block the planes leaving, so Johnson could appeal to the red wall racists on two levels – […]

Nice playlist. A good few cracking songs in there and nicely sequenced too.

I’ve never used Spotify, but I’ve just been playing around with it, to see how easy it is to use. I was unable to move tracks in a pla […]
