It was hard to leave that off but I just love the edginess of Do The Dog.

If all these suggested imaginary EPS were coming out just imagine how good the following album would be if they were either teasers or […]

I like this lot. Style Council vibe here.

Returning to OP.

That’s coincidental because I very nearly bought Generation Zero for X Box One yesterday at my local CEX but went for Rage 2 instead because I fancied some intense cartoon violence. Is it much cop then?

Has anybody said, “It would be a completely different list tomorrow” yet?

Beetroot.

It was ‘orrible at school because they soaked them in vinegar. Recently, I ate beetroot without vinegar for the first time in over forty years and really enjoyed it. Damn you dinnerladies !

I’ve pledged. It’s great all these odd rock docs are being made outside of BBC4 eg:- Being Frank, This Is Pop, King Rocker…

Ian Dury & The Blockheads? They bashed out a version of Peter Gunn which was an outtake bunged onto the Laughter reissue double CD. I’ve saw them many times and don’t recall any covers. I suppose it was because […]

This is my local cinema in Holloway. Even if you’re not from this manor, it.s still a great sketch to enjoy.

The OP title is wrong.

KNUCKLE DOWN by Andy Partridge

Knuckle down,
Love his race,
It doesn’t matter if you win or lose a little face,
Knuckle down and love that race.

Yeah, was a big fan of The Pearlfishers. ‘A Sunflower At Christmas’ was a seasonal fave.

Prefab Sprout canoodling with Jellyfish?

I dropped my Elvis Costello & The Rude 5 ticket from the very short walk from the pub to the Hammersmith Odeon. Hopeless.

We all traced my steps back to try and find it but to no avail. I was staying overnight […]

Not at my comprehensive. The few skinheads there were alright; only kids. I was a skin by 1982 meself. Bullies, pervs and rotten PE teachers made school a bad place. It was the fifth year herberts in 1977 who […]

Did you know Turning Japanese by The Vapors was about a restaurant in Takamatsu installing their first Lazy Susans?

Eric always had a chip on his shoulder over Costello after being described in the music press as “Stiff’s Norman Wisdom to Elvis’s Woody Allen”.
Ouch.

Oh hang on, Joe 90? I meant The Milky Bar Kid. Not because I had blond hair and big glasses, I didn’t.

It was because I was a total c…

At school, I was always compared to Joe 90. Not because I had blond hair and big glasses, I didn’t.
I worked as a special agent for the World Intelligence Network utilising my father’s Brain Impulse Galvanoscope […]

Maybe Kate Bush could record Two Little Boys? I always loved that tune. She could put it out as an EP with Sun Arise, Tie Me Kangeroo Down Sport and Army Dreamers (Stylophone Mix)

Ooo, thanks for the tip Steve

If anyone now wryly links a YouTube clip of a certain Nineties Acid Jazz band’s cover of Motorhead, I will scream
