Not this one?

Never saw Queen, the Quireboys (!) or XTC, so blanks there.

The Edge (band with Lu Edmonds/Jon Moss rather than behatted U2 guitarist)

Macho Man! That was a cracking single, IIRC. Very Stranglers-y.

I’m going with this… (And I’m not even particularly a Clash fan.)

3) Moving Hearts (those hearts *are* moving, aren’t they?)
12) The 4 of Us

Aargh, too late – should have refreshed the page before replying!

What dreadful news. I’d been meaning to give a plug to his brilliant NTS shows for a while now but I wasn’t for a minute expecting that this would be the reason I’d do so.

According to Amazon Music HD FAQ, most iPhones and iPads made since 2014 “can support HD/Ultra HD (up to 24-bit, 48kHz) without any additional equipment”. It’s only if you want to play 96 or 192 kHz that you’ll […]

Surely Rain was peak Ringo? Actually, Rain is pretty much peak everything.

I was working at EMAP in the late Nineties when Heat was in development, and it was spoken of in house as being a British take on Entertainment Weekly, which at that time, was quite a lofty ambition. As I recall, […]

I was surprised not to see the Stones at all until they very briefly skated across the bottom of the chart some time in the early Eighties.

Anyone else just get an email telling them that release has been delayed until 15 November?

Roxy Music and Rush fans would beg to differ. The only way to get hold of the SW 5.1 mixes for those was to buy the ridiculously expensive jumbo 12 inch box sets full of old tat that no one wants.

All sorted. I look forward to the pleasure of Attackdog’s company, although I’m sure I’ll be somewhat of a letdown after you’ve experienced the delights of Colin H. (Crikey, he gets about, doesn’t he?)

Stands back in amazement.

I had a comparable experience when I saw Randy Newman at The Sage and made the mistake of getting a seat a bit too close to the front, only to find out that due to the positioning of his piano on the stage, all I […]

Minty – Freedom Cafe, London (1994?)
Leigh Bowery gave birth to a full grown adult woman, live on stage. Weirdly moving and brave performance.

The Fall – Heaven, London (1984?)
The mighty Fall in their […]

As I heard more, from what I could make out over the general hubbub, I don’t think he was a rock and roller, as I first assumed. I’m pretty sure I would have caught the tail end of a casual reference to life on […]
