There’s a partial live at Cropredy ‘Put It There, Pal’ on YouTube which is absolutely incendiary, even by his standards.

I hadn’t listened to ‘Weld’ for donkey’s years. Sold it a couple of weeks ago for eighty quid and bought ‘Down In The Rust Bucket’ on the proceeds. On the other hand, I’d never part with ‘Tonight’s Th […]

“If and when I go to a festival I’d rather not have to wear a mask and keep 6 feet away from others.”

Absolute props for James Acaster and all of his Netflix specials, but especially “Cold Lasagne…”. Beautifully straddles the fine line between confessional misery lit and ‘come on, can we at least make this funny?’.

It was at Under The Bridge, the venue at Chelsea’s ground. There’s a roped off booth with two massive bouncers at the back. He’s smaller than you’d think.

I cannot commend Stewart Lee highly enough. Once you’ve read his books on how he puts the shows together there is an element of seeing behind the curtain, mind. I was minded to tell him how much I enjoyed his w […]

There is a live Ducks album on Amazon, but the reviews are universally of the “…sounds like it was recorded on a cassette player from the car park” variety.

I think the original CD was a straight issue of the LP, then they later realised that there was legroom to stretch out a bit. The re-do had red writing on the cover rather than the green iirc. The extras bugged me […]

I don’t own it, but I knew a drummer who could identify the different drum machines on the two versions of Seal’s first album.
