so in other words, nik cohn was you, and sgt pepper was pat kane, right?

and are also the same ones who have written and produced stuff for betty boo and girls aloud.

i remember d jones' early '80s reviews in record mirror. his review of "nelson mandela" by special aka began "MEGA-DAMMERAMA!" they were generally in that vein. obv one of the greats. why hasn't matos snapped him up yet to do a book on the first animal nightlife album?

perhaps the fact that annie started the album with her boyfriend, and then her boyfriend died at 23, and then she couldn't face doing anything more with it for four years, might have something to do with the album's "lurching" nature. hasn't anybody listened to the last track? it's really got...

is the establishment "guantanamo bay" known to you?

walkman/discman was i found v. handy in terms of being only way to listen to music properly, i.e. on daily oxford/london/oxford commute. but i didn't use it as a substitute for going in the shop, rolling my sleeves up and looking for interesting things. of course one notices that d jones has...

it's too late. liz has been confirmed as having been killed in the blast. i have revived CoM especially to record my thoughts: http://cookham.blogspot.com/2005_07_17_cookham_archive.html#112166917091187487 i feel gutted. shattered. and i was not even her partner.

yes, big beat pretty well turned out to be dance music's pub rock, didn't it?

check also the staggering hypocrisy of the VE Day "celebrations" last Sunday - marketed as "a show of defiance" but actually a show of "our balls" (i.e. our weapons), i.e. one of the factors which contributed to 7/7 in the first place. An awful lot of this is down to the serious problems which...

james Blunt, People

have to say that these days i tend to be automatically turned off the work of any musician who is featured/praised in the wire. a sad state of affairs to be sure.

oh yes, and grime - we all deep down know that really it's all shit, innit DUCKS TO DODGE IMMINENT LYNCH MOB ;)

one supposes that any sensible government would realise that one day they will have to SIT DOWN AND TALK with these "terrorists" but i assume that we'll make the same mistake as we did with the IRA and there will be another 30 years of bombing before we come to our collective senses and start...

can't say that i really hate as in LOATHE, ABHOR, a lot of music (usually if it's no good i'm wearily indifferent to it rather than actively hating it), but in the case of the eurythmics i'm prepared to make an exception - gangrenous 1985 goatfuckers etc. etc.

several of my all-time favourites in there, nick! lynsey de paul mmm hmm...

or else they would have to shoehorn themselves into a creaky old format. imagine poor old christian fennesz having to accommodate his musical vision to fit in with jools holland's boogie woogie piano magic.

that's actually a french horn line on "for no one" but anyway, the absolute worst for me would an eternal loop of "five get over excited" by the housemartins for reasons complex yet dull.

They do NOT look great they look like Stevie Stapleton Out Of Nurse With Wound and the nurse he wounded.

unfortunately having seen that photo i am now hugely prejudiced against delia and gavin for not having a short back and sides or wearing suits and ties. take a bath you winos if you're expecting my money! ;) is it possible to pretend that this is delia smith and gavin rossdale out of bush?
