The wearing of a mask protects other’s from you. As an act of defiance it’s a pretty stupid hill to (literally) die on.

Fuck no. The man is an abomination.
Wheldrake commented on the post, Rock biogs – your recommendations 6 years, 11 months ago

Costello’s book is very enjoyable.

I’d recommend Springsteen’s autobiography as well. Very revealing and also very well written.
Wheldrake commented on the post, ATM: A Girl Called Eddy – New stuff!!!! 6 years, 11 months ago

Good man.
Wheldrake wrote a new post 6 years, 11 months ago

Long term members may recall that A Girl Called Eddy crops up as one of the great lost albums/artists of the last 20 years or so. One stellar album on the early noughties and then….silence.
Well it seems the […]

Let’s face it, from All Mod Cons to The Gift he could do no wrong. End of.
Wheldrake commented on the post, Elvis Costello & The Imposters – Look Now 6 years, 11 months ago

It’s by the mysterious “Eamon Singer” AKA EC himself. But why that pic I have no idea.
Wheldrake commented on the post, Elvis Costello & The Imposters – Look Now 6 years, 11 months ago

I honestly didn’t think it would be this good. His last few have left me a bit cold, they have their moments but inconsistent is the word. Look Now is just up there with his best. Superb.
Wheldrake wrote a new post 6 years, 11 months ago

What does it sound like?:
This is Costello doing what he does best, creating classic pop music filtered through the sixties with lyrics full of wounded characters, lost souls and unrequited love. At various […]
Wheldrake commented on the post, Kylie! 7 years ago

She’s great. Pure pop pleasure once she was released from the grip of SAW. I’ll not hear a word said against her. 🙂
Wheldrake commented on the post, Kylie! 7 years ago

Anyone who can’t recognise Can’t Get You Out of My Head as one of the great pop songs frankly has their head up their bum.
Wheldrake commented on the post, New Paul Weller album 7 years ago

Didn’t mind A Kind Revolution, which was better than the awful Saturn’s Pattern. But for some reason I’m not that bothered about this album? Is it worth a listen? Really?

Now the new Costello album, from what […]

Nobody? Oh well…

After their stellar English Weather compilation from last year, the lads have done it again with State Of The Union: The American Dream In Crisis 1967-73.
