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

Arf!

I think that the organisation keep an extraordinarily tight rein on all things Floydular, and will avoid any unnecessary complications involved in being seen to support Waters’ claim to be part of the family. In t […]

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 […]

Good lord! I woke up this morning reflecting on the very Lemmy/Silver Machine trivia referenced above! File under “What does it all mean?”

This is more about foresight though, isn’t it?

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 […]

Nicely done.

We have a few freelancers in the group whose work is being pulled left and right at the moment. You’d be surprised how many big, big companies aren’t willing to fork out contractually obliged cancellation fee […]

I speak as someone who has been recorded by both Owen Morris and Fenton Steve.

During my time in TTL I was, as part of my role as Master Librarian* totally in charge of the tapes for all of these series. Admittedly it’s no archivist at Sound City, but I like to think I played my p […]

That’s a very good point. I’m sure I filled in the link in the form when I submitted the post to the noticeboard bit it doesn’t seem to appear anywhere.

That’s the introduction ^ by the way, not me going all Bar […]

Splendid. Let me know when you get to the bit(s) you’re in… 😉

Exactly this. They’re not looking to sell you a Little Feat album, they’re trying to ascertain your (to paraphrase) hairstyles and attitudes… Ask ten people what they searched for on Google last night and you […]

This came up in conversation over dinner only this evening. Magnificent.

There’s a version of ‘High Hopes’ on the new Pink Floyd later years compilation which is arguably better than the version they eventually put out. I think though, that demos are exactly that. They’re not for us […]
