I’m very impressed by the new album from Dan Le Sac vs Scroobius Pip so far. I doubt I will get as attached to any of the tracks as I am to Thou Shalt Always Kill, because that really is a classic, but there are some fine lyrics on tracks like Great Britain, Stake a [...]

Watching Blues at the BBC tonight left me very confused after Long John Baldry. Surely the blues is not meant to be sung in a velvet dinner jacket, floppy bow tie and large frilly cuffs?

Best of British

Even now, with only two survivors who are both past their prime, the Who can still pull off a spectacular show. The memory of seeing the bloody terrible Las Vegas concert on TV recently was still fresh so I was half-expecting a bit of car crash TV, but the Superbowl half-time show was magnificent.

Two of my favourites together on stage: Carlos Santana and Angelique Kidjo When Jayne treated me to Santana tickets for my birthday (quite a long time ago) Angelique Kidjo joined him for this song – which she wrote and he covered on his Shamen album. It made my day then, and finding this clip [...]

When I finally caught up with reading Friday’s Guardian I learned something unlikely today in this article about what happened to several music acts that looked like being the next big thing but never were. Not only that but it gives me an excuse, as if one were needed, to put up a link to [...]
Abandoned and let down by West Sussex county council

What am I going to do? How am I going to learn how to use my mobile phone now? WSCC went to all the trouble and expense of producing a (presumably) excellent video tutorial on how to make a phone call, but before I get a chance to watch it they take it down! (According [...]
Must be Santa
