I’m not sure it’s an age thing but more a success thing. Too much success and they get lazy/conceited/stoned or all of the above. Some of my faves (Nick Lowe) have improved with age.

Yep – Jason and The Scorchers one of the best live bands I’ve seen

There’s quite a big difference between what you learn to live without and what you miss. I can live without a decent independent local record store, music shop, local arts cinema (not a cineplex thing), decent […]

I still have a bunch of cassettes from the late 80s/ early 90s when vinyl was becoming more difficult to get and seemed to be very thin /flimsy but I hadn’t yet succumbed to CDs. I think the House of Love, an Ian […]

Will Powers – Kissing with Confidence

He doesn’t half sound like Patrick Stewart.

Thanks for the warning – mine’s a 5S and does as much as I’ll need it to, so I’ve just turned off the automatic updates. I had noticed that when there was an update, outlook would stop working and I would have to […]

oops – missed that… 50,000,000 Elvis fans can’t be wrong?

Orange Juice – You can’t hide your love forever

Edwyn Collins’ comeback gig at the Shepherd’s Bush Empire in 2008, with Roddy Frame as musical director on lead guitar.

The Pretenders (with JHS […]

5 – Back to The Future 1985
6 – The Third […]

This is, in effect, the way I do it. At one point they may have been in (vaguely) alphabetical order but people (who can it be?) keep putting them back in the wrong place and before you know it, it’s all over the […]

I went in 1994 and saw about 10 mins of Oasis before thinking I’m off elsewhere. Some bands rock, roll, swing, groove or even ‘art’. Oasis were the first band I ever saw sludge. An achievement of sorts!
