Vaughan Williams: Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis.
This may be the greatest piece of music ever written. No really.
pete commented on the post, David Bowie – Toy:Box 7 months, 1 week ago

It’s just not very good is it? A bit bland. Like a collection of b-sides. I always thought his band from this period were a bit dull. Great musicians and all that and they could play the songs but they were […]
pete commented on the post, Who did you miss out on at the time? 1 year, 1 month ago

Couldn’t be arsed going to see the Sex Pistols at Leeds Poly. I think I had some homework to do.

Had my first Pfizer jab last Thursday. Bit of a sore arm for a while but not even that really. Really well organised. Quite a moving experience actually.

Been to Mexico a few times. Mexico City is a fantastic place, loads of museums, art, music and so on. We didn’t feel any less safe than in any big city really. We used Uber to get about. There are a few places […]

pete commented on the post, The first gig you went to… 1 year, 8 months ago

Supertramp at Leeds University in 1975 so I will have been 14. Loved it and still remember it fondly. I don’t have anything by them now. Revisiting Crime of the Century as I type this. Pretty good! Not long after […]

pete commented on the post, New Lankum LP 2 years, 9 months ago

This is their best so far I reckon. Yeah it’s droney but in a symphonic way. Or something.
pete wrote a new post, New Lankum LP 2 years, 9 months ago

Anyone heard this? The Livelong Day. It’s great. Highly recommended dark Irish folk. Lots of droning and death.
