I’m with you – a tenner for a CD and I’ll be there …

Not a great film either

La Grange is now playing VERY loudly. They were some band.
Eliminator was my entry point, but if anyone asks * Tres Hombres would be my suggested kick off point

* they might. It could happen …

It’s a good album, but a new dawn, and the most important album of the 21st century? Nah.
A triumph of the NME wetting themselves (again)
(In fairness, the century was only a year old at the time)

One of Chris Evan’s first jobs on radio was an assistant to Timmy Malllett.
2 annoying people in one small studio

Tin Machine too.
Well I like the album

Trevor Peacock (he of No No No Yes Jim Trott in Vicar Of Dibley fame) wrote Mrs Brown You’ve Got A Lovely Daughter for Hermans Hermits, That’s What Love Will Do for Joe Brown, and Gossip Calypso for Bernard Cribbins

I got one of those.
“Surely, there’s room for more. You just haven’t loaded it properly”

Covered by Girlschool in 1989. Only a minor hit, but 8 years earlier they were in the Top 10.
Moterhead/Girlschool – Please Don’t Touch

Billy Bremner played for Leeds.
Up front with Allan Clarke (of The Hollies) was Mick Jones, who appeared with Aztec Camera on this – Good Morning Britain

She never enjoyed Italy.

That’s pretty much my breakfast for the last 20 years.
Bowl of porridge, black coffee, and a Marlboro. But at no point has musical inspiration kicked in.
Is it any wonder?
Ain’t there one damn breakfast […]

Young Americans is probably my least favourite DB album. It just doesn’t “click” with me.
If Diamond Dogs was an attempt (and a successful one) to put Ziggy behind him and establish himself as an artist, then […]

I’ll watch bits when it’s on – not a big fan of running, jumping, bike riding etc so not making a specific point of watching.

Roger Waters – at least that’s what he wants you to think

Brian Wilson

Iron Maiden – Steve Harris’s vision is why the band exist, plus most of the songwriting and direction comes from the 4 string spanker.

Level 42 – Mark King’s mad thumb

Motorhead – it’s Lemmy, innit
