Much appreciated Retro. I’m very flattered you thought a solo might be by Pete Bruntnell! It was actually my little tribute to James Honeyman-Scott (Kid in particular) as the Pretenders first inspired me to p […]

I’d wager there are a bunch of civil servants along for the trip. Their job is to find an American grown-up or two and try and talk some kind of sense into them vis-a-vis the whole ‘threats to blow up the world’ business.

TrypF commented on the post, Alternative Universe Albums 1 month, 2 weeks ago
The Thorns (Matthew Sweet, Pete Droge, Shawn Mullins) did a very good album that was, sadly, overproduced and over-orchestrated. Happily, my special edition has an extra ‘live in the studio’ disc with just thr […]

I much prefer Let it Be Naked – the reordered version without Phil Spector’s choirs and strings.

Old work colleague of mine designed Banksy’s book and knows him. He said it’s fairly easy to find a pic online (crouching bloke who looks a bit like actor Daniel Mays). No biggie, leave the feller alone I say.
