Interesting reading this as s3 of the Crown starts. I think the benign view of 67 years unsullied takes a bit of a kick, whether the series is truth or fantasy. Hard and calculating seems closer. Hence the hopeless parenting.

If not necessarily just the phone, here’s AW poster boy RT with a paean to its inventer https://youtu.be/wxfZgU5cZ9U

Anto Thistlethwaite has a love song to a Massey-Ferguson tractor on his very good album Cartwheels, the YT not available in this country.

O, I don’t know, Bobs done a fair few stinkers himself. (Mind you, I always assumed it a song less well covered but Secondhandsongs tells me there are 132 of the buggers……)

If time is on my side yet waits for no-one, surely that proves you can’t always get what you want

She’s blind, anyway. And would probably have to be.

I’d like to.

Does he cover Memphis Tennessee on it? If so, is it bettering the last time, with the Faces, a definitive version if ever? I doubt it is my confident prediction.

It ain’t what you do, it’s the way that you do it: potentially true.
Everything I do. I do it for you: probably not.
I would do anything for you. Except that: a good get out clause.
In the year 2525: we shall see.

A much better project was Bill Wyman’s Willy & the Poorboys, he and chums playing sound 50’s and 60’s fare to raise money for Ronnie Lane’s MS bills. Course it’s from at least 30 years ago.

Intrigued by your review, @stevet , I sought out Ebba Forsberg and got the same album, in Swedish, ‘Ta Min Vals’ from discogs for a couple of quid. I like!

First album was good, most reviews saying this more of the same, which has sort of put me off.

Interesting idea, guessing and gauging the fave raves of politicos. And the difference between the favourite they say in public, and what they play at home. Corbyn would probably deny any great love of modern […]

Is it bigger than Shakey’s tho?

As you say, it isn’t difficult to source the individual tracks elsewhere, even the special commissions, which is why I wouldn’t ever go for this, not least as snippets of spoken dialogue have never done much for […]

That’s odd, because at school he always preferred Gilbert & Sullivan.

When in foreign parts I like to pick up some local and practice my language skills. Rock et Folk is always worth a go in France. I used to pick up a Rolling Stone in the US but music seems such a minority part of […]

Or the record company insist on an early appearance of a review, to justify the expense, time and trouble(!) of sending a poor quality stream out to reviewers……….

Still intermittently gigging are the Kate Gee Band , previously known as Prussian Blue, needing a vigorous fight back when the neo-nazi duo of the same name started up in the states. Broadly blues-folk rock with […]
