Get well soon, Monsieur Gateau..

I wasn’t going to contribute this month but I feel I have to pop in just to say James Richardson’s “Eze is his name and the boy’s running straight over Tottenham” on the Totally Football Show was my favourite […]

Superb work @ajsmith! And it’s Bandcamp Friday today for anyone who was holding off on a purchase..

And OMD are touring as we speak, while the most recent nuclear arms reduction treaty between Washington and Moscow – whose current leaders have displayed a complete disregard for the value of human life – expired […]

I had a mate who was a massive Motörhead fan who finally got the chance to see them live. I asked him if it was as amazing as he hoped. He said it was difficult to enjoy as it was so incredibly loud: “they were ha […]

“It’s ridiculous, Margot Robbie is too old to play Cathy” Sir Cliff: Hold my Ensure Plus drink..

Oh yes. Good point, well made. The BBC show Murder Rooms was a good take on this, elevated by Ian Richardson as Dr Bell. I’d rewatch this before I’d watch any more of Watson..

Only up to a point, Shirley? The Cruiser/Jack Reacher example above seems a powerful refutation..

I’m shamelessly bumping my own thread -.>

Yes, when checking out KC, the algo pointed me to the Broken Chanter single as well. Great that there’s an album imminent. I wouldn’t worry about accusations of pedantry, @salty – I think it’s considered a virtu […]

Yeah, I like that one very much. I also like the direction they were going when they seemed to stop. Thanks @sitheref2409 for pointing me toward them. Your comment about cursing bands you like reminds me of […]

Yeah, I think you’re right @salty. Most people would count 6.9 Love Songs (SWTDT) as their first. I could have said this was their third full length album (length being important to me – although I have no c […]

The Bandcamp link didn’t copy in the box so let’s try again.,

And here’s a delightful video for Limpet
