Last time we went on a “foreign holiday” I played a Joy Division playlist when I went out every day for an early morning stroll. As it happens we fly out on Monday and I suspect I shall do the same as walking […]

A lot of cover versions there, makes me wonder if the next album will just be a covers record. Only been 16 years since Heligoland, so it would be nice to get something new by the band.

I really liked the Lilys album, but I probably haven’t listened to it since about 1996.

First song that came to mind for me is Dire Straits Private Investigations. The single edit is nearly six minutes long and it doesn’t have a chorus. Got to number two in the UK hit parade (number one in Belgium). […]

You’d think that a lot of their readership would rather like that, wouldn’t they?

Hope you get your hamper, Lodey. One of my friends lives in Worthing so I’ll mention that pub to him for a potential future pint. I’ve been to the Goose a few times, which is on the front- would recommend.

Indeed he did-

I was there 1998-2001, although I know that you weren’t asking me.

Had a listen to the new album last night. The last song ‘Otherside’ is brilliant, like an outtake from Goldfrapp’s Seventh Tree LP, with a Beatlesy psychedelic vibe. Her voice sounds quite different on most of the […]

Is 8 mothers milk by the red hot chili peppers?

Oh yeah, I remember that article. I think I was already aware of the mighty biscuit at that time.

It’s wonderful, if you don’t mind me saying.

Pardon my ignorance, but is this one of yours Mr. P?

You could do it like the Champions League, where all of the teams are now in one league table, as opposed to 12 small groups. This way it’d be easy to work out which 32 teams would go through to the next round. It […]

16 seconds is how long my wife lasted before she insisted we popped something else on. Is this a record?

Fingers crossed, Freddy. I really hope it works out for you.

Me too, although I wish that the last song was split into two. I like both halves of it, I just don’t think it’s the same song (if you get what I mean).

Trickers fun fact- The factory floor scenes of the 2005 movie Kinky Boots were shot in the Trickers factory. I know this because I used to live across the road from said factory.

I just don’t have the shelf space for all of the unnecessary gatefold sleeves. Just have a nice full colour insert instead, no?

There are more than enough ideas on this thread for a Half Man Half Biscuit song, so I’ll add one from an actual HMHB song. People walking two (or three) abreast on a pavement and not moving over so that my wife […]
