Love that album. I bought it by mistake on impulse – it was wrongly (on line) described as having The Poacher on it (which I have as a 45 ) but it hasn’t, of course. Still a great album.

That really is terrific.

I saw him around then. As a great fan and lover of country rock generally I’m ashamed to say I was a bit bored. He was coming out of the 80s when playing a million notes an hour was good and he can do that all […]

I’m not hugely interested in The Beatles and in not even sure I’ve actually heard all of LIB but I love film of people messing about in studios do I’m really looking forward to it.

Is it? 😀

No he really isn’t! Even I wouldn’t review my own album. Though I once knew someone who wrote breathless reviews about the soaring majesty of his own gigs.

That’s sad news. What a legacy though. With so much to choose from I’m sure he’d want to be remembered with a smile and a dram.

This gem comes to mind.

For the curious…

Yes Topic are a fine bar, as are Marathons.

I used to make chocolate sauce by melting a Mars bar and adding a little single cream. Lush over vanilla ice cream.

Agree on the coffee! Mint Matchmakers or After Eights especially.

Mmm, my weakness. Favourites:

Fry’s Turkish Delight
Mint Aero
Lion bar
Twix
Fruit and Nut (this counts as a 5 a day right?)
Double Decker – sooo bad, special occasions only (see also Boost)
Tubs at […]

Totally agree. I have an hour walk every night and do a few good pods, really step out and get the heart rate up and try to purge the shite day I have almost certainly had. Wonderful.

Gandolfini also gave the entire cast $50,000 each before that as he thought it unfair that he was paid so much more.

That’s the one. Very funny.

Gil Scott Heron of course – some great rock/soul albums and solid poetry chops too.

I was lucky, the only Coltrane they had in my local shop age 17 was “Live at the Village Vanguard” which I’d still argue is a perfect ‘Trane intro. Bit of everything there.

The mighty Biscuit qualify. If this was Murray Lachlan Young it would be in compendia of modern poetry.

For What Is Chatteris…

One way system – smooth and commendable
