“There’s a hole in my soul”

Big numbers for the Wirral based tunesmiths podcast. It was a lot of fun to do that podcast, sadly I can’t think of much else I’d be any good at contributing to (unless we get a ‘dour Scottish indie music from the […]

I thought he was being ironic as I believe that Phil Selway (Radiohead’s drummer) is a volunteer for Samaritans.

They sound like good resolutions to me. Best of luck with those this year.

Staying in a cottage in Devon with three friends, their wives and loads of kids. This is going to be a new experience, but I think we’re all up for it. Happy new year everyone!

Have an up, sir.

We’re looking to replace the “big TV” which we brought 11 years ago. It is only a 23 inch screen, but at the time it seemed massive. As such I would wholeheartedly recommend Sony as the thing has worked perfectly […]

I was trying to find a clip of MARRS on The Roxy, but that’s pretty hard to search for (keep getting clips of Bryan Ferry for some reason).

I managed 38 seconds.

Flaming Lips did do a similar thing back in the late 90s where they’d give out headsets and broadcast the show on an FM frequency. I reckon it’s a great idea.

Mrs. Paws and I discussed this at the weekend. Our local multiplex regularly screens ballet and opera performances that (one assumes) are happening down in that there London. Why don’t bands do this sort of thing […]

I’ve just had the one listen so far, but hopefully give it a few more spins. First impressions are that like the last album (Colors) the best song is the one that doesn’t sound like the rest of the album. WOW was […]

I’ve lived in Northamptonshire for most of my life and only been to Corby three times. Tis a dirty word in our house, or the punchline to a joke (usually “could be worse, you could be in Corby”).

Does the Red Band CD come with a packet of gaspers?
