Maybe it’s a simple case of turning up the volume, but most of these bands sounded extremely weedy to me then and now, all trebly guitars and no bottom end. Not very heavy at all.

I have that on vinyl. I remember it being a bit crackly, though, even on my Linn Sondek. Can I now cash it in and retire?

You’re right! I’ve had it on all afternoon. Great songs, interesting lyrics and I love his voice.

Philip K Wrigley – son of the company’s founder. No idea what the K stood for. I rather like the idea of being immortalised (or maybe not entirely immortalised…) in a food (kind of) product.

Yes, the endless trudging through the Steppes can be a tough sell to the lads, but the ones who haven’t left / lapsed into unconsciousness / confiscated the remote from me perk up for the raid on Vladimir and the […]

It’s a Mod, Mod, Mod, Mod World

An excellent list, with one exception. I went to a screening of “Life is Beautiful” at whatever London Film Festival it first showed at. Having endured Mr Benigni in “Johnny Stecchino”, I had intended to avoid him […]

Baerwald’s 1990 album Bedtime Stories is also worth investigating, although the Larry Klein production is quite dated. With David Ricketts – the other David – he was heavily involved in Sheryl Crow’s breakthrough […]

28. The Scream, Siouxsie and the Banshees?

I thought it could be the Outlaws, but I still enjoy their first album. And I’ve always preferred “Green Grass and High Tides” over “Free Bird” in the niche category of “Southern rock songs with multiple lead […]

16. Cheap Trick
18. Gordon LIghtfoot?
22. The Allman Brothers?

Is number 3 “Metal Machine Music” by Lou Reed?

Is number 5 “Autobahn” by Kraftwerk?

Good point, although when I did this a few months ago it came up with something completely different!

Goggles loaning appeal, which I rather like. I may stand forlornly outside the local lido and see how I do.

Many years ago, while living in L.A., I dated a Chalice. She had a sister named Casel and a brother named Galen.
