FKA Twigs – Cellophane on Jimmy Fallon
I shared the official video of Cellophane in Your F***ing Sunny Day 45, (which I realised I forgot to post so I just did it), and it’s a great video and a great song, but […]
The White Room
Back in the 90’s, 94-96 to be precise, there was a short lived music show on TV called The White Room hosted by Mark Radcliffe and Jo Whiley. I really liked this show and have […]
Things I Didn’t Know (an occasional series on a large topic)
I was asked to provide music for a work thing next week relating to Black History Month. Essentially a 3 hour (ish) playlist that can be put on shuffle while people mill about not knowing […]
Random Album Selector
Earlier today I knocked up a Random Album Selector in excel for when I can’t decide which album to listen to. I posted it in a Facebook group and a couple of kind folks pointed […]
The Brit Awards – meh
So the Brit awards will soon be upon us and, having had a look at the nominees I am increasingly of the opinion that it is all bollocks really. I haven’t watched it since I […]
Dolores O’Riordan Dies aged 46
This just came up on my newsfeed, apparently it was quite sudden. Bloody hell, that’s a real shame. It always hits a little harder when the artist is younger than you are. She left some […]
Lana Del Ray sued by Radiohead
So Lana Del Ray claims she is being sued by Radiohead over the similarities between Radiohead’s ‘Creep’ and her track ‘Get Free’. Having listened to both I’d say they have a case, and I’ve never […]
Apple Music – I hate you, but I love you, but I hate you
I have a subscription to Apple Music mostly because of my son, who wanted to switch from Spotify about 2 years ago. It had benefits as at the time the Spotify ‘Family’ bundle was for […]
How to knacker your vinyl
I don’t have a particularly good opinion of Crosley, they are very much what you pay for and, while it is good that there is a budget option available for people just getting into vinyl and […]
Playing Pokemon Go with vinyl
I’ve never added anything to the Discogs Database before, it’s pretty easy to do really, as I found out when I added the Carl Matthews album I talked about recently. This is the Discogs entry […]
Well nobody told me: Roxy Music
Whenever I’ve had cause to think of Roxy Music the tracks that are at the forefront of my mind are things like Avalon, More Than This, Jealous Guy, Angel Eyes or Dance Away. These are […]
Stuff waiting
I mentioned before that I’ve been off work for a couple of weeks, I’m on the mend now though. I received a picture of what has arrived from various places during my absence. I don’t […]
75 Years Ago
My drive to work and back is just about two hours twenty minutes each day, sometimes a little less, sometimes a little more, and I have started listening to audio books as well as podcasts […]
You’ll be blown away buy what happens when this guy cleans a record.
You’ll be blown away buy what happens when this guy cleans a record. Well, probably not, but that seems to be how the internet works nowadays, minds are blown, jaws are dropped and so on, […]
Vinyl Me Please
I’ve been looking at the ‘Vinyl Me, Please’ subscription service for vinyl records, which, conceptually I quite like. It takes me back to the 80/90’s when I was a member of a record club. You […]
Leamington Record Fair
I went to the Leamington Record and CD Fair on Saturday, and was a little underwhelmed. I’ve been several times before but I wold, more often than not, go every six months or so, I’ve […]
Bowie
Everybody should be able to remember what the very first album they bought with their own money was, I do, it was ‘Lodger’ by David Bowie. Up until that time we had family records or […]
Albums to look out for in 2016
What is there to look forward to on the album release front in 2016? Well, there will be loads, but these are the ones I’m most interested in, should they actually happen. David Bowie – […]
