Ok. Took your advice and made it to the Mr Whippy bum gyrations. I have a low tolerance for carefully manicured kookiness.

I lasted through about 20 seconds of her dancing before I had to can it.

You sure it isn’t your cable at fault? Seems a bit odd that you’ve had several not work.

Listened to decipher sci fi on a 5 hour bus trip and enjoyed very much.

Lots of good options, thanks. Some I have tried, many I have not. I am travelling for work again this week so will test some out.

I hadn’t heard of Master Tapes, so will give that a crack, thanks.

Look on this, mere mortals, and play descending circle of eighths arpeggios over a Bmin11aug5th bed for 28 minutes.

They usually go for the nose.

Here is the first of 5 videos my wife shot of a large carpet python (3-4m) eating a pademelon (2-3 foot tall wallaby) in my front yard a couple of years ago. If you skip through all five, you see it find and start […]

I’ll be the Grinch. I can’t stand AGLY. Tedious melody, tedious fuzz guitar, Collins’ irritating and affected vocal mannerisms. Snooze.

One of his live archive releases (Massey Hall?) had him playing all the big ones off the soon-to-be released Harvest (Old Man, Heart of Gold etc) to a politely indifferent criwd.

I think the interest in Ms Swift is amplified because she was the poster girl of the far right, who had somehow convinced themselves that she was one of them.

And concerning political songs from the right, […]

Pretty sure Eno’s production credits on U2, Coldplay etc mean that he’s not doing it too tough.

Some of Van’s music is among my favourite, but if ever there was an artist with a sharp drop off, it was him. Brilliant, with the odd speed wobble, up to Veedon Fleece, the occassional great track to about 1980 t […]

Cheese and Onions by The Rutles would be hard to beat.

With you 100%, Twang. MC is a great player, and I’ve never understood why LB is considered any more than functional.

I can’t stand brassy, shouty female backing vocals. Think ‘Livin’ Thing’, ‘Love of the Common People’ and everything by the Mamas and Pappas. It may stem from my pathological hatred of musicals and anything that […]
