Hello pop pickers, just a quick heads up – part 2 of my chat with Stuart M on Diamond Dogs is up now – just a pocket sized edition at 30 mins, but they’re 30 pretty good mins if I say so myself. Hope you enjoy >>> […]

Many thanks @NigelT, @Sewer and @Billybob Dylan, kind words very much appreciated! I will be talking to SM soon to do the rest of the album, so it’s good to know we’re getting people to revisit the oddity that is […]

Prince Charles has Covid 19
Prince Andrew has Jennifer 16

Thanks! Glad you are enjoying them and hope that continues
It’s a mix of people I know, friends of friends or in some cases, as with say, Alan Johnson, a hopeful punt to his manager/PA/whatever (actually his […]

Thank you!

Thanks! I enjoyed that YA episode too, and its definitely one of the albums I would like to revisit with guests again in the future. Someone wrote to me offering to connect me with one of the former Sigma kids, […]

Thanks – yes me too. The recent episode I did on Outside was a struggle for me as I am not as steeped in that album as I am some of the others. I never quite clicked with Outside, it has some decent songs on it […]

Yes I did! 🙂 https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/davidbowie-albumtoalbum/id1355073030?i=1000468996889

Thanks Tig and everyone – the symptoms I have are very mild and I am extremely fortunate to be able to weather them, such as they are without any hardship.
The next few months are going to be unimaginable for the world

We’re doing so, plus being careful around each other and using separate utensils etc. I had the nurse on speakerphone, so my mum could ask any questions too. The nurse said, “No hugging or kissing each other” to […]

Lemonhope – I totally agree which is why I am a bit baffled tbh. In my layman’s understanding, I have at worst, a cold (aches, pains, fatigue and a bit of a sore chest). But having called 111 to set my mind at […]

According to a lovely nurse who called back after I was on hold for two geological ages on 111, it “sounds most likely that you have the Covid19 virus”.
I have to say, once you get through to someone, they are […]

They sent me a PayPal payment, which PP have suspended for 14 days as it looks “suspicious” [throws hands in air]

Thanks Dai. The charity that organised the interview (WE) have been startlingly hopeless at following up. When news broke of Sophie Trudeau’s condition, I wrote immediately to ask whether any of the others in the […]

Hey Dr V – it’s called A Life In Art. Incredibly detailed and v well written. Cool analytical tone, tons of solid research and enough topspin of wry humour.

Jim – I agree, the Brodie novels are my favourites. […]

I’m bloody furious with your leader’s wife! I had to interview her when she was in London with Julia Gillard on the 4th. We were in a room together for an hour. I’ve had mild symptoms all last week and have been […]

The new Andy Warhol biography has been weighing down my bedside table for a few days now, so I hoisted it aloft and started it this afternoon and it is excellent.
Recently read a wonderful book about 1950s […]
