More Cale. Nearly 40 years a VU fan – saw their first comeback gig in Edinburgh. Love them. And If I play VU it more likely to be the Lou songs (you know, the ones with tunes). I loved Berlin – and then havent […]

I’m rewatching Community. I think the UK is living through the gas leak year.

The Good Place is still astonishing.

The new Doctor Who is ok, but Bradley Walsh has been a revelation in it.

16 year old d […]

Yes, B5 is not a guilty pleasure at all. The tragedy of Lando and the arc of G’Kar are quite amazing progressions. The CGI is a bit ropey now. Shame so many of the cast are now longer with us.

My father, who repaired TVs for a living, used to say the only good things on telly were Tom and Jerry and westerns (prefereably Bonanza).

Generally I don’t find MM that funny, it his tai chi approach to modern bathrooms cracks me up. Probably because it resonates with me when the rest of his stuff doesn’t.

That’s the Vic and Bob experience. Friends loved it Big Night Out and I watched half a programme stoned faced. The second half I could hardly breath for laughing. Suddenly I just “got” it. It’s been like th […]

Funny. I adore Record. A Distant Shore has emotional connotations for me, otherwise I would say it was my favourite of her solo records.

The Undertones. But I admit this may be more partisan than correct.

How did you not know about Dylan’s ironworking? What did you think Wheel on Fire was about? Positively Forge Street? Ballad of a Tin man?

That’s the winner for me

And me. Never owned any of these before but too cheap not to.

Thought John Prescott lived in Sutton? That’s Hull.

And a third off the Elvis train. (Costello that is) Suddenly after Spike I didn’t get it, and fact didn’t enjoy it. I think the only album I have played in 20 years is My Aim is True, and having seen him 4 or 5 […]

ATTWT is the only Genesis album that does anything for me. But maybe it is because of the girl who played it for me, rather than the music itself….

I assume scrobbling is how to do it? And not a strange illness?

That and for the play count (for me anyway). I rather like to see what I have played and when. A facility missing from Spotify.

Saw PiL at Bingley Festival (they were brilliant) and someone down the front said to us “is that really John Lyndon? He didn’t look like that last time”.

But I’m not going to criticise . Instead I’m going to eat a pie

One of very few CDs the GLW and I had in common. And so recommended.

Yes. But who cares? It’s better than the alternative.
