You are basically me @podicle. There’s a reason we refer to an act’s “imperial phase.” I’m a bit of a Bowie fan but he still only really got going with Hunky Dory, don’t like his 60’s stuff at all, twee bollocks […]

@podicle nails it in the first sentence, using Zappa as a (good) example of music that peer pressure or a bizarre oneupmanship ritual persuaded me to buy. Given Hot Rats aside, I never really took to him, […]

4 chapters in, I absolutely love it. Cheers @podicle.

An exceedingly attractive young lady wearing hi-vis overalls smeared with grease… Gosh @Podicle. Train journeys to work in your neck of the woods sound a lot more exciting than commuting in […]

@podicle There’s a Tardis-esque garden shed in Stiffkey, Norfolk. We had a couple of nice holidays in one of those cottages. The Red Lion in Stiffkey is only a few metres west.

Yeah that’s it, I actually found it after I posed the question and Podicle messaged me. Thanks to you and @Podicle

@podicle You might mention to your son that Billie Piper isn’t definitely the next Doctor. The credits didn’t use the usual “Introducing Billie Piper as The Doctor” and press releases talk of her returning to the […]

I’m with you almost entirely @Podicle. We’ve just stopped bothering altogether now. It’s taken a few years for our last remaining optimism to fade to avoidance, but its been a crushingly inevitable decline of […]

@podicle – did you ever manage to get tickets and see them ?

Hope you really enjoyed the New Order gig @dan-druff. Music can be such a wonderful tonic in times of tribulation. That @Podicle Pizza Party sounds like a blast. It seems like you had to use all your culinary […]

Not even SouthEastern @Podicle ? Cover Me Up is a stone cold classic

Hats off to you @podicle. Your excellent concert review certainly reminded us all of what a fine band the Lips are. Exactly the sort of thing which makes this site a joy to visit.

Inspired by the recent gig review by @podicle I dug out Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots by The Flaming Lips. It still sounds fantastic. Ego Tripping At The Gates Of Hell is currently playing.

@Podicle That’s okay. Life would be boring if we all liked the same thing. Check out CC’s side-project, Freedonia. They have two albums on Spotify and he wanted to work with local musicians in Austin and get more […]

As I’ve no doubt mentioned before, I saw ‘ver Lips in Hull’s City Of Culture year. It instantly became one of my Top 5 Gigs Of All Time. Just unbridled joy. I have to ask @Podicle – did yours feature unicorns and […]

@podicle That’s the one! Blatant!

Thank you so much for such a lucid explanation @Podicle. The Mac’s Dreams was a good example. We lay listeners can’t explain what’s happening musically but we can feel that vibe you describe. After reading […]

Thanks for mentioning that Plugged Nickel album @Podicle. I wanted to know more and stumbled across this. “Wayne Shorter and Herbie Hancock have given us priceless insight into what the group was doing at the […]

Thanks for these very useful comments @Podicle and @Twang. The point about “following the changes” is way over my head as are Twang’s comments abut what Miles did on Kind of Blue. But that at least […]

I concur @podicle. What a rip off!
