Thanks, @paulwright. Marty has been in hospital after suffering a collapsed lung, so he’s been on mind a lot. I am so proud of him, especially as he walked away when he found that his writing/production partner h […]

Thanks, @paulwright. I did flinch a bit at the Leeds thing, but it was more for my American readers.

Yes, one of those studios which slips under the radar. It’s not until I start compiling the playlist, (which […]

Regent Sounds in Soho, where the Stones recorded their first album, became a guitar shop. That’s about the best ‘change of use’ I’ve found @paulwright. Oh, and Decca is now home to the English National Opera.
Barry Blue commented on the post, Taking The Wrong Path 9 months, 4 weeks ago

That’s awful, @paulwright but to paraphrase Tolstoy: happy lives are all alike; every unhappy life is unhappy in its own way. There’s a million ‘final straws’ when it comes to suicide, and a billion earlier […]
Jaygee commented on the post, Uh oh – Dylan accused 11 months, 3 weeks ago

@paulwright

In fairness to JG, he did have serious mental health problems

Regardless whether or not these sort of allegations are baseless or true, the stench never quite goes away for the person who’s been accused

Jaygee commented on the post, How to manage a legacy, or not 1 year, 3 months ago

@paulwright

My big issue with NY is his frustrating habit of releasing some but not all of the discs in his Archive box sets as standalone. While I didn’t buy A1, I did weaken and buy A2 even knowing I had […]

Thanks @paulwright! I’d completely missed that.

I’m adding it to my must-read books!

Freddy Steady commented on the post, Reading & Leeds Festivals 1 year, 5 months ago

@paulwright

My (then) 17 went to that too, his first festival. Apparently there were girls – not wearing very much – and people making lots of noise in their tents till late. Bless.

Freddy Steady commented on the post, 1980 to 1999 The Afterword Favourite Albums – Hurrah!! 2 years, 2 months ago

@paulwright

It was probably Bono’s fault.

I just think 16LL sounds sumptuous. Oh, and there’s not any filler.

Here’s an interesting interview with Hitchens.
He repeatedly cites the “Swedish model” as being effective.
