I share your indifference @Twang. Every time I try to like their performances I’m afraid I find myself thinking they should GAFMO and stop wallowing in how profound they seem to think it is to slow songs down to a […]

The British disease is boorish, selfish and entitled thuggery.

Rory’s ‘Politics On The Edge’ (wry, intelligent, funny, incisive) if you can find it in a chazza, or else Jim O’Briens ‘How They Broke Britain’ (angry, rantish, dripping with contempt, huge fun). Not sure if […]

He said ‘Kanda’ three times! Run for the hills!!!

Agreed. It’s one reason why I won’t even contemplate going to the Fleece venue in Bristol: level floor, standing only, guaranteed some lanky git or three right in front of me (I’m 5’9″). Mind you, I also […]

Tip the feckers over the edge.

@SteveT Somewhat dismayed to read that Terry Reid was deemed to be ‘hugely disappointing’. He’s someone I’d definitiely buy tickets to see if he was performing even vaguely adjacent to this neck of the […]

Hmmmm. Huge alphabetically shelved record collection. BSc Ecology. Does that get placed under B for Bachelor, or E for Ecology? I’ll have to think about the relative merits of both approaches….
