Absolutely mind bogglingly brilliant.. My Grandad survived Ypres. As a teenager I used to love the stories he told of his time in the war and the sheer horror. He used to tell me that the trenches were actually […]

@Kid-Dynamite on the basis that you and I seem to like a couple of bands in common I have taken a punt on your recommendation. The Krautrock influence pulled me in.
In relation to the original post the Bill Fay […]

The Peter Green article was very interesting to me.

@Mike_H it’s funny how your mind plays tricks on you . I have now found a copy of the image online but it’s still not exactly how I remember it The image I can access online has a black background but I am sure […]

No I am confused. I really like the artwork for the Weather Report album Mr Gone. It was a surrealist painting with the Chrysler building featuring prominently. I just went to look at it before posting on here […]

Have to agree with @Carl Bye Bye love is anything but an album filler

@Arthur_-Cowslip yes my wife and mum have been to those too. They loved them, the thought of them fills me with dread.

Just before xmas my wife took my mum to the cinema to see a live transmitted performance of Les Miserables. Apparently at the finish everyone in the cinema stood up and gave a standing ovation.
It was rousing apparently.

I am sure there would be a commission on that £1.6 billion somewhere or other.
It is politicians we are talking about.

The Dan one was one of the best.

Totally disagree with you. I found out about this yesterday in the Uncut standard magazine.
Of all the artists they have covered with this guide Paul Simon is perhaps one of the more deserving both as a solo […]

Late to the party again but hey ho its January and the post Christmas energy levels are not what they should be.

Heard:
Tony Joe White Monument rarities -this is fabulous and a lot of srtuff I wasn’t familiar […]

A very good list. I would swap THe Residents and Michael Rother for Sutherland Brothers and the Bob Dylan bootleg series and maybe find a place for Kathryn William’s but aside from that good to go.
