In the middle of reading a.m. homes’ May We Be Forgiven which is simultaneously the funniest and most tragic book I’ve read since Garp. There are so many twists and zinging situations I can hardly keep up. Onl […]

I wouldn’t have produced it like that…

Richard Thompson’s Dream Attic originally came with a CD of the acoustic demos which was, arguably, as good as the final album.

Are we allowing David Palmer’s replacement?

Splendid work Martin!

You have to give Dave Grohl’s parents credit for plugging away until Nandi finally responded.

I saw a clip yesterday featuring The Stray Cats with Eddie van Halen, David Gilmour, BB King, Les Paul, Stanley Jordan, Steve Miller and Waylon Jennings. I mean, if nothing else that’s a hell of an address book.

The original Fireman Sam thing has a definite McCartneyesque air to it.

Some of the Zingzillas’ back catalogue is genuinely moving. ‘Welcome To The Island’ is quite the rollercoaster. Here’s an AW-friendly banger I spent a lot of time with a few years ago. https://youtu.be/5YTWT-4vW2Y

I think the reason you’re not allowed to post on the official Pink Floyd site Roger, is that you’re not in Pink Floyd. I had similar feelings whenever Dave Swarbrick used to bang on about the band he hadn’t been […]

Not divorced, but Any Trouble’s “Playing Bogart” – the slow version from ‘Wrong End of The Race” – soundtracked a particular break-up summer for me. There was a time when I couldn’t get to sleep without pla […]
