“They are of English descent. And i use the term “descent” advisedly”.

“There’s a big difference between kneeling down and bending over”

both Frank Zappa

His ad-libs could be genius.

Bloody Hell, I’ve changed. I’d rather the student disco funk of the 1981 Goldsmiths intake to bloody “Olias of Sunhillow”.

Extroversion can be a handicap.

Just what the world needs: another “Tubular Bells”.

Bernie Marsden? Excellent idea

Get your “Creme Brulee” fix here. “It’s a shit business”.

I love this set of bad album reviews.

I pay more attention to them here than any music mag (who needs ’em now when we have each other?). I trust the judgement of The Massive in their different oeuvres more than music hacks (if they even still exist), […]

I don’t think anyone misses the useless Izal toilet paper. Never has form and function been less integrated. Apparently the Queen Mother liked it. Suffer, baby, suffer.

I used to like Texan Bars. A solid chew […]

Cocaine in middle-aged and above men is a real risk factor for a stroke. Just sayin’.

“Nerk ” was presumably used to replace that fine all purpose term of off nice/ endearment, “cnut” (anagram.).

Point of information: perfect use of the word “pranny” on The Troggs Tape.

I use many of these archaisms. We have recently had to-the-death Scrabble games, and “fanny”, “mufti”, and “roundel” all emerged. It’s all excitement in our house.

Bummer. My favorite version of Whitesnake.

Maybe artistes who meet our high standards should be given honorary membership to our little world?
