Old tunes

January 17th, 2009 · 2 Comments · Jane, Music

While I was in town to get my eyes seen to I did some browsing.  I had a little time to kill before my appointment, and then more time afterwards while waiting for Jayne to finish work and come down to help me choose frames.  (I don’t really care what glasses look like: I only […]

From Wikipedia’s entry on Punk Rock: Punk rock (often referred to simply as punk) is a rock music genre that developed between 1974 and 1976 in the United States, the United Kingdom, Bahrain, and Australia.

I wanna be sedated

June 22nd, 2008 · 1 Comment · Music

The Ramones have been described in many ways, but I wonder if the best word to sum them up would be “aspirational”?  For reasons we don’t need to go into now, I was looking through the track listings of their albums and was struck by the number of song titles that say “I wanna” in […]

Report from the Pistols’ front line

November 20th, 2007 · Comments Off on Report from the Pistols’ front line · Music

I got a slightly miffed e-mail from Spizz today.  He tried to leave a comment here but it kept being rejected as spam.  I'm guessing it was because of all the links in it – anything with more than 2 links is assumed to be spam. Rather than turning off security for a while I […]

Spizzenergi v Sex Pistols

September 21st, 2007 · 4 Comments · Music

The Sex Pistols are playing at the Brixton Academy on November 8th. I toyed with the idea of trying to get tickets in the 5 minutes between them going on sale and all selling out tomorrow morning, but I think that £37.50 is a bit steep, even before you add on all the spurious booking […]

April 6th, 2006 · Comments Off on Shameless plug · Music
