Nice review, @salwarpe, and I’m envious you got to see my fave Haley Heynderickx live! Less impressed by your choice to skip Wilco…but if you don’t feel it, you don’t. I miss the years when I used to go to […]

Great piece of work @salwarpe, takes me back to my younger days seeing that picture. Alas my festival days are long gone.

Didn’t think it was you, I was referring to @salwarpe s mate in the OP.

Sorry @Salwarpe 1. Isolation – It’s the perky synth riff I like and a upbeat-ish vocal from Curtis. Could be JD’s nearest relative to New Order. The mix I am most familiar with distorts the voice with leads […]

Reading the admonition by @salwarpe below, I would choose Dead Souls because of its dynamics, the transition from the steady verses to the driving chorus (I Wanna be Your Dog a definite influence) and the epic […]

Hope so @salwarpe! I was just on a group chat with some mates and mentioned Ron’s birthday. One of my mates described Sparks as a “Novelty Act”….pah! But I think said mate is in a mood with me because I told hi […]

Go on @salwarpe, give Sparks a go! How big is Green Man? Without knowing anything about it, I could imagine Sparks going down a storm. I have a dream/plan that Sparks play Latitude next year by which time […]

Same in Oz, @salwarpe – though only once a year. The event is invariably marked by optimists cruising the streets in utes and vans ahead of pickup time looking for anything that can be sold. No doubt a lot of it […]

Ah @salwarpe, thanks for heads up on the Yayoi Kusama exhibition. I have booked in to visit it on its Amsterdam leg for MsBJB’s birthday in September; we are both fans and have YK prints up in our house. Never […]

@salwarpe I’ve stuck another on. Plus 16 is Meddle 10 is David Crosby If I Could Only Remember My Name 11 Syd’s Madcap Laughs

@salwarpe Spot on! So glad someone else here likes this LP. I picked it up one day simply on the strength of the cover artwork and names of the tracks; I had no idea what it would sound like. It still give it a […]

For the sake of RSI avoidance then, here’s where we are with the fiendish @salwarpe dozen so far:

Thanks for introducing us to Selima @salwarpe. She’s great fun. A little back ground..

It turned out to be a fairly simple process. At first I tried a lyric search as @salwarpe suggested – that didn’t really go anywhere promising. Then I just asked Discogs for any examples of a song called ‘Put […]

@salwarpe – I heard that too, and I feel yes, he needed strident, assertive policy. No ifs, buts, equivocating or waffling. But I don’t know what he could have said that would have achieved that. PS. The […]

Sorry about the lateness of my reply (I forgot I posted this to @salwarpe ) Anyway, my link goes from the D.R. Hooker album title ‘Ballads and Dirges’ to the song Dirge by Death in Vegas

Better late than never @timtunes @salwarpe here is the full menu – apologies for the delay. Dead Can Dance – Return of the She-King Wailing woman, vaguely ethnic instruments, slow doomy rhythm section – the […]

@salwarpe Thanks 🙏

and @salwarpe‘s selection was 0. (Intro) Back And Forth by UNKLE 1. Return to Iqrit by Checkpoint 303 2. The Point Of No Return by Diana Dors 3. Back To The Crossroads by Little Axe 4. Back In My Body by […]

And thank you @salwarpe – same badly formatted review,,, Zero This was on my ‘back’ search through iTunes – classy tee-up, not quite sure what he’s on about. One This is a fabulous start – no idea what’s go […]
