I trust the two ahead of Davis are Alex Hurricane Higgins and Jimmy Whirlwind White.

Funny you said that, cos I had ‘please don’t be one of those expensive 6 CD boxes’ going through my mind as I was reading the email too!

Yes, a bloke I know who has a music website wanted me to blog about this album ranking thingy I’m doing on his site, but I’m not sure I could make it interesting enough for anybody to want to read. And I have a […]

My favourite Rick Nelson album, It’s Up To You, is from 1962, but that aside all I have are the first Dylan album, where he hasn’t hit his stride yet, and 9 or 10 albums that are basically a collection of singles […]

He’s pretty unbearable as a stand up (“hey, anybody remember Spangles?”) or on chat shows (“hey Parky, do you remember Spangles?”) and most of the things he does really, but Phoenix Nights was brill. Car Share’s a […]

When we first watched Phoenix Nights I kept saying to my wife that these are exactly the kind of turns that I used to see when I went to the Working Men’s Club in Barnsley with my dad in the 80s. And then when I w […]

I haven’t managed to convince anybody to watch Sunny, no matter how much I go on about it (or wear my RIOT t-shirt!). I had to pick my moment with the wife, as the humour is far too nasty for her. I showed her t […]

This sounds like the kind of daft project that I come up with! His methodology leaves a bit to be desired though, in particular by giving a point to a track if he has it in his collection. I have Metal Machine […]

What made us sit up and think this is something different was when they killed who we thought was supposed to be the main star a few episodes in. It then gave it an edge that other shows didn’t have, where you k […]

Good to see It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia in there, although I’d have it higher, especially when I see that it, along with Life On Mars, Planet Earth, Spiral and The Shield are below Lost. What a waste of time […]

Mmm, editing a track like that is a bit beyond me. On my iPod I’ve just substituted the whole track.

The other film version I particularly like is Dream Operator. I like the film though and that period (Little […]

Of course!!! And I thought I was an iTunes expert. You can’t merge tracks that are already on there, but you can do it as you download tracks from CD. I can then, as you say, edit the track once it’s downloaded so […]

There are plenty in your first list that should be in the top 100, not least Kick Ass and Dawn of the Dead that should be top 10. They’re in my top 10 anyway! And Thor: Ragnarok is easily my favourite of the M […]

DOOM’s a particular favourite of mine. I’ve managed to track down all his CDs under his numerous guises, which wasn’t easy (or particularly cheap). If that one’s the only one you have, and you like it, you’ll […]

Can’t comment on the films, as I haven’t seen any of the ones you haven’t either, but music wise I’d particularly recommend giving 81 and 77 a go, cos they’re great.

Actually it’s 74, 48 CDs and 26 downloads, although I am counting a few Beyoncé downloads that belong to the wife. If only it was a trendy magazine, rather than a newspaper, as I might have looked cool and with it.

I have, er, 72! It’s a very good list, far better than the film one. I have done my top 100 albums of the 00s and top 100 of the 10s and only 26 of those 72 appear in either of my lists!

I’m really pleased to […]

I read an review of her gig in Bristol that remarked upon her slow start. She was the same at Holmfirth too, which was a shame, because she played some of her better songs earlier on (seeing as though they’re e […]

Yep, ordered it this afternoon. As I was reading the article and what was included I was dreading seeing the price, as I have a few things ordered over the next few months. So when I saw it was priced at £65 I […]

Just booked tickets for Stephen Morris (still haven’t chosen between other two). The ticket confirmation page made me smile, as the on screen button asking whether I wanted to go on to purchase any other tickets […]
