Presumably, when trying to play the glue disc on a (non-expensive) turntable, the music heard would be backwards and with the channels reversed? *scratches head* **realises that, as simply turning clean […]

Try ‘Past, Present & Future’ next. Brilliant. …and @Twang check yer WhatsApp…

It was just a false alarm.

Claude didn’t spot Jacqueline Bisset either!

The Knosti with the world’s worst model name is indeed the finest and simplest bit of vinyl care kit I’ve ever owned. I think you’ll be pleased with it. Be sure to use top quality distilled water – I buy it in […]

There’s one very obvious artists who has sent me scurrying to more Wikipedia pages than anyone else. I started sketching out a list of the references I’d followed up from his songs over the last half century […]

Surely even a Mac will allow you to see and edit the ID-tags on a file?

There’s a lot to be said for the argument that it is the potential profits – given the substances’ illegality – that motivates the organised crime behind the serious Class ‘A’s. However, if it means that […]

I live in a small village, and it’s entirely possible that someone, maybe in the shop as I buy a loaf or some milk, will say something along similar lines, “You were rushing along towards the pub the other day, […]

Seconded – I’ve recently read her ‘Olive Kitteridge’. What a fabulous yarn that is.

Apols for extra you there.

Righty-ho! Off we go. I sincerely hope that whatever music I choose to share with you folks you doesn’t end up scaring the birds off your (physical or metaphorical) allotment.

I’m always doing it, and I’m happy that I can. I nearly always enjoy the experience, it’s rare that anyone cuts me off and makes me wish I hadn’t. I’ve often had friends remark that, “You’ll talk to anyone, you […]
