I heard that her and Wayne are on the verge of splitting up due to her increasing obsession with dancehall music, so your mate might be in, Stelfox ;)

Next time we should rent the function room at The Ship, get some decks in and have a session :)

I don't care, I don't care, I don't care if he comes 'round 'ere, Cos I've got me chalice on the sideboard 'ere, Let me bredren sort it out if he comes round 'ere.

Just wish it had been the final cos it had everything you could hope for from a game of football. I like Barca though and Ronaldhino's goal was just bewildering so I'd have been a bit happier to see Chelsea give (say) Real a proper spanking because they are, to a man, wankers. Milan will win...

It was a bit nippy on the downs on sunday. Sorry I couldn't make it.

It's no good, Jenks, they'll never hold them in Leigh. :(

That's funny, cos I haven't seen any of the tabloid "Death Drug Terror Hell" headline coverage yet. I wonder what tunes they play. :D

No, probably not ;) Those three words - Rail Replacement Service - suck the joy from my life. I've met people who work for Mail Group and they all say they disagree with the political/social/cultural ethos of the papers but it's a good job for them, good pay, improves prospects, etc. I think...

Where can I get these? I don't usually buy online. Any tips appreciated.

Seen.

One of my earliest memories was watching the end of Southend Pier burning down from my bedroom window. Go easy on the arcades, Luka. :) BTW, there are 4 pubs in Old Leigh (Crooked Billet, Peter Boat, Smack & Ship). The billet is not too touristy and the Ship is a locals pub. They all do...

Apparently there's cctv footage of the petrol drinker dancing around on service station forecourts. Now that I would LOVE to see. :D

Walkabout, Performance and The Man Who Fell to Earth. Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory - the songs are usual west-end-musical-type Newley fare but the range of incidental music is scrambled/jarring. Not for it's music as much (murch), but the sound design on The Conversation blew me away...

I am not sure that excluding other ambitions or aspects of your life will help you to maximise your concentration. Too much time looking at any one thing can lead to a sort of stasis of thought, which in turn creates frustration. Find someone you can communicate with and act as mutual editors...

Omaar, did any of the parties standing in the elections in South Vietnam in 1967 do so on a platform of the withdrawl of US occupation forces? I agree with Mark's point, that ad hominem attacks are unhelpful. Claiming that Luka's opinion is not as valuable as his own because he doesn't do a...

Harmarplatz, I agree with you in parts and I take your point about the times being receptive to him. Certainly, If he had been any earlier he wouldn't have got a booking. I do think his influence continues to be felt. I don't think much of post-rock would exist without Electric Ladyland...

I don't get Elvis Costello. Harmarplatz, I don't want to drag this out but you say on one hand that you cannot hear how Hendrix was ahead of his time and on the other hand acknowledge that he revolutionised the way electric guitars were used. Which is it? I know technical invention by itself...

Is the canon in flux (and is that a contradiction in terms) or is a continuum of musical development at work? Anyone else (apart from Blissblogger) remember Melody Maker's Unknown Pleasures freebie book? The foreword laid out it's intention to query the canon, to expand it through discourse...

There seems to have been a move in the last few years to place Elton John in the canon. In the early nineties this would have been met with derision by all. I don't know how this has come to be, apart from some shameless lobbying on the part of John himself. Anyway, I think he's shit and I...

The, now defunct, Sir Winston Churchill in Walthamstow. What a cess-pit.
