I’ve been listening to Gang of Four’s new album, Content, on Spotify this evening. It really is a magnificent album right from the metronic funk of the opening track to the abrupt end of the last track. In fact it is nearly as good as their debut album Entertainment! and that is not damning it […]

A bit more news about Gang of Four hit my inbox the other day. First of all a brand new track is available to listen to here and it sounds pretty damn good to me. Secondly, a mesage from the band:

I love a man in uniform

Over the weekend I caught up with the last few editions of Later with Jools Holland.  I rarely watch anything live now, so I was watching this on the V+ box and being a bit naughty: not having a lot of time I just fast-forwarded through large chunks of it, even though I would have […]

After we finished our canvassing today I went into town to buy a new toilet seat – so at least one seat in Crawley will now be safe. I tried to avoid walking past HMV at all so I would not be tempted in, but we ended up going that way and I got lured […]

A few people have been doing this, so I thought I would have a go. I had four bites of the cherry as I could not decide between Megadeth, REM and Pet Shop Boys but feel almost honour-bound to do Gang of Four. It sort of makes up for being last on the bandwagon. The […]

That was the year that was

2005 is nearly over, and its been an eventful one. There were some major events with a global impact – the earthquake in Pakistan and the floods in the US after hurricane Katrina – and some of more limited significance like West Ham getting promoted and Gang of Four releasing a new album. Not a […]

Already there are some houses which have displays of Christmas lights to rival a Jean-Michel Jarre concert lightshow. I have one word for them – November!! Even some houses in Broadfield are doing it. I think it is already established that I do not really like Christmas much, except as a chance to have a […]

89 is barely scratching the surface!

Lisa has been writing about this article in the Guardian last week. The article starts with a statistic from Napster, that the average person owns 126 albums, of which 37 have been lost, leaving just 89. It goes on to speculate which 89 albums you should own if that is the case. I was faintly […]

I found this site today. It gives details of all the forthcoming music releases. There are a few goodies to look forward to in the rest of this year – new albums from Audio Bullys, Afro Celt Sound System, New Model Army (!), Franz Ferdinand, the Darkness, Busta Rhymes, Dr Dre and loads more. Also […]

The Gang of Four

First of all, it was another good day for Crawley Town. They won again at the Broadfield Stadium and still have the 2nd best home record in the Conference league. It was a bit of a worry when they went behind early on, but they ended up winning with a 90th-minute penalty. Still 4th in […]
