Ian Dury & The Blockheads – Part 1

The title is a lie, it is actually 41 singles, thought I bought 50, there was only 41 in the box. Ah well, no matter, here they are: Roxy Music Dance Away These Animal Men […]
Dinosaur – Together, as one
If you’ve been listening to the radio show at all then you’d have heard my take on the Mercury Music Prize and how much I liked the album by Dinosaur, well, proving that wasn’t just […]
A Gal Called Dinah
I visited the new used vinyl store today that opened up in Leamington Spa at the weekend. There wasn’t a whole lot there that I could get excited about but they did have a large […]
