To be fair, that IS the Revolution. Other bands the little feller had run them close (the NPG I saw – Mr Hayes, Barbarella, Seacer Jr, Bland, T, Mayte. But wish I’d seen the Revolution.

Can go one further and sing the praises of Teenage Fanclub who, on finding their band room was a disgusting toilet, went to B&Q and redecorated said room, a) for a laugh and b) to improve the world just a tiny […]

FWIW, I’ve always seen Taylor as the ‘happy to be a rock star’ member, and May as unhappy to be the same. In the Word Queen piece, May is almost too overanalytical but was keenest to put uberfan Kate Mossman at […]

So many good ones come to mind, but Elephant by Jason Isbell (or Vampires, or Speed Trap Town) or Amelia by Joni, or Skyway by Paul Westerberg could fit the bill.
But here’s the Smile of Rachael Ray by David […]

I have a dog-eared copy of the Wordsworth Book of Movie Classics, bought for pennies when I was studying cinema. I’ve been crossing off the films ever since. It lists 200 classic films of every genre – a brief […]

Ooh, I love NAIHF – it’s arty shots take by Mr Stipe and beautifully captures the ‘on the road/on the fly’ nature of the recordings. I’m a big fan of Monster, but ‘Reveal’ is my least fave – looks too ‘NY Design […]
