I can’t believe that I wrote my little monthly summary of April 2026 and missed out the major event of going up to that London to see Les Négresses Vertes! I saw LNV a few times in London back in the day, but the last time must be more than 30 years ago. I knew […]

Random List #3 (Bad LP Covers)
April 11th, 2025 · Comments Off on Random List #3 (Bad LP Covers) · Life, Music
This is a list of some LPs that I own with covers that I consider to be bad. In all cases these are covers that just do not suit the music within, do not meet the quality of the music within, or just do not have the high production values of the records they contain. […]

On Sunday I went up to the loft to bring Christmas down. Personally I couldn’t really care whether the house is decorated or not and if I lived on my own I am pretty sure I wouldn’t bother, but Jayne loves all that stuff and would have had the decs up halfway through November if […]
