Mother!!!!!!!

Who? That would be his greatest legacy, especially if in his lifetime. “Do you know who I am?” Not a clue, guv, but you can’t sit here all night. Move on!

Message from Nigel to Forks: “I’ve put up your post and, if you come back and see, we are all a much friendlier, kindly bunch these days” Oops……

Sally Free and Easy, if a remix, or so, back.

Sometime in the mid 80’s, my sister suggested we crash the St Thomas’s Hospital Summer Ball, held a few miles away from where she and her husband lived. Given I had paid and been to many as a student, 75-80, this […]

Ultra huge crowds can become very claustrophobic very quickly, if the space is limited. One of the reasons I avoid stadium gigs. I was about 5 people from the front at Glastonbury, and quite pleased with that, 20 […]

Or just stay in the not half bad bar. Certainly more inviting than many around the corner, especially on Saturday evenings, early, during fitba season.

It can be; the choice is yours. If it helps, I am happier sitting for a wee, than standing for a dump. Unless it’s an old fashioned continental footprint squatter.

Irony, dear boy, irony: “until I catch my reflection”….

Hmm, as a relative fan, with a few on my shelf, intrigued that none are any of these, suggesting these were the only ones Cheery Red could get their mitts on. I dare say the discussions with Thea did not match […]

Irrespective his work with Queen (no, thanks) and The Firm (never bothered), for someone who, in Free, was possibly the best UK rock vocalist, hasn’t it all been, post Bad Co, a bit of a waste of his talent?

It sounds a load of ego driven wank. (No, I haven’t heard it, but I did like the first couple of Bad Co. albums.) I know a bit about cover and tribute album etiquette and you don’t appear on your own!

To be fair, his album of cover versions, Interpretations. isn’t dreadful. Fairly, but there are a couple of keepers on it.

It’s my main reason for playing the album! Now, if you had said Buckets of Rain, that I’d go with. Buckets of Piss, more like it!

An ancient prejudice is The Knife, on Genesis/Trespass, if a little diluted in remix, making the riffing less lightweight. See also Saturday Night on Desperado, by the Eagles.

An unusual choice, perhaps. Anyone familiar with Syd Barret’s The Madcap Laughs will know already that it can be quite an uncomfortable listen, the sound of an unravelling cortex. As side 2 unfolds it gets a […]

I’d go for the full 3 parts of Down in the Sewer, the Stranglers song that closes side 2 of Rattus Norvegicus.

@vulpes-vulpes More spends in sight, I fear, as the new Sanders/Savage is out n/w. Back to near acoustic basics, it’s a wonder to look forward to, if my advance is anything to go by. I know you are a fan. Talk a […]
