Hearty recommendation for this one, in particular. I have it on regularly in the kitchen and it’s turned me on to a few artists that I’d otherwise not have investigated. I for one enjoy your playlists, Hor […]

Would have been nice of George, then at his commercial and critical peak, to have lent Macca a couple of songs to bolster his record to make it more palatable to the rock press of the early 70s. I love Ram; the […]

I’d put Custard Pie much higher; my favourite of the Physical Graffiti ‘rockers’ and certainly more playful than Sick Again, which just feels grubby lyrically. Pretty good list though and as Bingo points out, […]

Thanks Sal. Proper whisky in that flask, too. Sadly, we nailed the shot in too few takes for my liking

Not quite… Will makes a Hitchcockian appearance at one point. When you know, you know. But yes; mainly me. Thanks for the kind words.

Forgot that YouTube links don’t work in the OP…

I discovered only the other day that one of the Bowie performances I attended is now a live album… Look At The Moon! (Live at Phoenix Festival ‘97) Lots of DB live albums flooding the market since he passed, but […]

I’m in one! My Panto debut, after 19 years in the game. Although I’ve done my fair share of Christmas shows, over the years. The Jewish Panto at JW3, up the Finchley Road in London. Classic Panto fare but wit […]

What a heartwarming post; lovely to hear that the man matched his music for soul and heart.

Alas, I packed up the old jalopy and headed to almost the most south easterly extreme of the island about 8 years ago. The carnivores of CT14 were grooving to the kora this afternoon, leaving my kindred spirits […]

One of my absolute favourite artists. I had no idea he was unwell, so this is an unwelcome shock. Hosting a family barbecue this afternoon and will crank the Symmetric Orchestra album in tribute. A real […]

Is Donald Sutherland in that film? Great movie. Great actor. I just don’t recall him being in it.

On the way in: You Might As Well Try to Fuck Me by The Music On the way out: Move On Up by Curtis Mayfield

Speaking as an actor, I would say that the privately expressed opinions of my colleagues are as interesting as those of any other profession. Those who find themselves pressed into a public statement of their […]

Doop was good though. I liked Doop.

Absolutely delighted by this playlist; thanks for sharing. I’ll be grooving around to it for the rest of the day.

The very same. I like him, although it sounds like maybe I really like Ross.

Spunkwad FM actually ran a very enlightening series on the Notre Dame school of polyphony which was excellent. Rylan was a surprisingly informative contributor. I imagine its a podcast now like most things

I was in a couple of those. I’m lucky enough to have achieved a childhood ambition of working at the RSC, which remains a highlight of my career. I first saw SRB there in Richard III, having hotfooted it from w […]
