I got the full thing, but never pay for these things….

Maybe we should send politicians “cease and desist” letters. And Roger Waters. There’s quite a few people I’d like to not hear any more for a while.

A few kitchen hacks from a man who takes his pleasures seriously…. grate ginger rather than chop it always have fresh coriander, always have smoked paprika, a variety of fresh and dried chillies, fresh […]

RW thinks his shit doesn’t smell, and while we are at it, farts above his arse. “Look, I did something, and I’m good at everything – people cheer when they see me. I’m a profound creative person!” This […]

Now, I see Bryan Ferry as a man who had sensible entertainers hair and clothes. I like his tuxedo phase particularly. Eno? Rough as arseholes. Much better once he looked like a grown-up, rather than Riff-Raff […]

Quite. How could we have managed?

Classic prannet

“Grapefruit Moon” is a fantastic album, and all the better for not being sung by what my mother-in-law said “sounded like an old tramp”. Squarecore is difficult; Joe Bonamassa also has that “hip geography […]

Indeed, Thom Yorke is the Owen Jones of rock n’roll.

“Turn up The Eagles, the neighbours are listening” still cracks me up.

I can forgive the snideness about elves for the perfect description of Broooce: “Meat Loaf: the band Bruce Springsteen COULD have been”.

I’ll say. I was in Scotland 1984 to 1993. A bit too much up itself, wanting to be like the worst of England at the time, but not willing to accept the horrid equivalence.

As Nick Cave once said, “I’m forever near a stereo saying, ‘What the fuck is this garbage?’ And the answer is always the Red Hot Chili Peppers.”

Spandau Ballet Bay City Rollers Billy Bragg Oasis Eurythmics American mock punk Sam Smith Take That Kiss Grateful Dead Drilling and vomitting versions of heavy metal Shrieking rawk singers I could go on…..

Sad news. The joyous abandon of Dumpy captures a moment and attitude now seemingly lost from life. I can imagine most modern youth seeing him and his oeuvre and looking like they’ve trodden in something u […]

They wouldn’t say that if “Dumpy’s Rusty Nuts” were playing. And why have neither “The Damned”, “Hawkwind”, “Gong”, or “System 7” been on the BBC’s coverage when they have been playing? Nor Pigs 7, who I am sure […]

This is the right approach. I quite enjoyed hearing country music when driving long distances in the USA, especially if the lyrics were interesting, but on the M6, no thank you.
