“I didn’t have time to write a short review”

Chapeau

Found a copy of Stone Alone, Bill Wyman’s 1990 autobiography recently. Fearsomely detailed, but he is basically a sleazier Alan Partridge. Smugly recounts just about every time he “made love” to some lucky lady […]

It’s leave, Moose, dammit – make like a tree and LEAVE. Hey, Moose, your shoelaces are undone

In my 1980s boarding school, you tended to get the dross who wouldn’t have been inclined or indeed, good enough, to teach in state schools. When I went to local 6th form college for A levels, I was blown away just […]

That’s brilliant. I wish I had had teachers like that.

Black or white! Once at school I was beaten up with a cricket bat by a racist teacher and parents, headmaster etc all got involved, much to my mortification. Teacher in question had to give me toe curling one on […]

Thanks Bingo. I assumed as much and totally agree they are shitfucks – but then, if it comes down to a question of economics, why are so many relatively innocent posts being routinely pulled?

I’ve been sent private messages on FB from strangers, complaining about the colour of my skin and my cultural background.

One, from a woman in Yorkshire, in summer 2016 I remember, was especially violent and […]

Recently discovered the r/Sopranos reddit. LEMME TELL YA A COUPLE OF THREE THINGS

I’m hoping this means we still get to keep the blue passports, though?

Just one track from the rooftop? Oh that’s a bit rubbish. You’d think that all important rooftop gig would be the centrepiece of the set. But apparently it’s some sort of rights issue. Still we can have 200 takes […]

Yoko has created a special “Biscuit Piece” performance to mark the release

Damon Albarn, at his most Albarnish, sounds like a costermonger. Graham Coxon at his most winsome, sounds like the mouse called Gerald from “Bike”

I love odd unexpected drum fills popping up in the most unlikely of places. For example, was having a bit of a Creedence session recently and loved how the sludgy snare plod of Born on the Bayou is suddenly […]

“Too much like a Clapton and heavy friends jam” yawn

Baker’s appearance at the recent Word In The Park was like watching an overindulged hyperactive 6 year old being allowed up late at his parents dinner party.

This thread only got this far because it has rich parents

There’s been a lot of grumbling on Beatle Facebook groups. Like, who is this tramp interviewing Macca? Why aren’t they asking proper questions? Why is Paul chewing gum when he answers? Why does he repeat the same […]

I Touch Myself was co-written by Tom Kelly, who was also responsible for this outburst of chaste provocation…

Up!

Hope we get that amazing Letterman appearance too, doing JOkerman and Don’t Start Me Talking
