I cannot disagree with this. Every album has peaks & troughs, a few more troughs in the later ones, but when they are good they are excellent. I thought Singularity from Music Complete was up there with some of their best

I have never understood the dislike of Technique. It has some wonderful tracks on it that have aged very well

3 x NO is harder than 3 x JD for me. Today it would be 1 – Your Silent Face 2 – Love Less 3 – Temptation tomorrow it could quite easily be 1 – All The Way 2 – Ruined In A Day 3 – Age Of […]

There are so many more than 3 & although overplayed, there is no doubting the brilliance of their biggest hit. 46 years down the line it still sounds pretty damn fresh & will have me turning up the radio if it […]

Caitlin Cary also did a fantastic album with Thad Cockrell. I have not thought about this in years so will dig it out today. Thank you for bringing this back to mind

some great stuff in here PS & reminders of a few that should definitely have made my own list (particularly Sideways & The Station Agent!)

She is wonderful writer – although they are fairly short, i find that I really take my time over reading them to savour the prose

What do you think of On The Calculation of Volume @moseleymoles ? This is the best series I have read ofr a long time & I am eagerly awaiting the 5th book on the 5th November! (They have missed a trick not […]

How on earth did I forget Back To The Future?!? Possibly the most rewatched films of all & a series we have loved introducing the children to. A true highlight of the last few years has been hearing my 8 year […]

Could happily sit & watch any of these right now (I did in fact rewatch The Commitments last week): Goodbye Lenin (Probably my favourite film of all time) This Is Spinal Tap Quadrophenia The […]

Some great stuff in here & I fair few I will investigate. City of God is one that I would know word for word if i could speak Portugese! It is an astonishing piece of film making

We have a very odd tradition, where we watch this every year whilst wrapping christmas presents. No reason other than we fancied watching it once & it has stuck since then. An excellent film

This is a fascinating thread & is going to cost me a pretty penny i think! A lot on here that are on my list to read & this will be the prompt to do so i reckon. Over the last few years I have made a conscious […]

Agree with all of this. The Charli album has been played through twice & i have enjoyed it immensely both times.

A link to the album here: I also got myself the dinked edition which is rather nice

Ah really sad news. He used to run a Sunday night jam session in Rawtenstall I went to & played numerous times. He was always really nice & a lovely guy

I saw Robyn recently & her 3 song encore was as below. Missing U Call Your Girlfriend Dancing on My Own Possibly the best encore i’ve ever witnessed.

I once chatted to a journalist who had interviewed both Hooky & Barney. He said out of the 2 you would pick Hooky to go for a pint with as he is much more likeable. It is this that seems to Irk Bernard more than […]

That would never in a million years have occurred to me – but they really would. They are not opposed to an out there cover either, their wonderful Kirsty MacColl one shows that:
