I remember thumbing through my elder brother’s albums and discovering the cover for the Scorpions LP Lovedrive. The picture is of a man and woman in the back of a car, with the man stretching bubble gum off the woman’s breast. They even had a special effect to make the bubble gum sticky. Yeah they ...

I remember going through my elder sister's LPs at a pretty early age, and being absolutely spellbound by the cover of Crime of The Century, my imagination running wild about what would have been going on behind this image.  She also had a copy of Brain Salad Surgery which was pretty mindblowing too....

Saw Nile Rodgers and Chic a few weeks back in Crystal Palace. With various support DJs it was a VERY disco-tastic evening.  Crowd was a bit different from those that are more familiar to me. Not a sign of a mosh pit breaking out at any point.  For me it's apparent that everything is so upbeat both m...

Would have love  to see her knock out that tax dodging cսnt Farage.


 

Do you have to stay in Victoria? If there is anywhere available a bit nearer, it could at least make getting to and from the gig a bit simpler? I absolutely never do this. But unfortunately I booked and paid for a non refundable hotel. I’ll just have to get a bus towards the overground and jump on ...

A nice Airbnb on the Broadwater farm estate maybe if the gigs in Tottenham.

Load of bollocks. I’m bringing the kids over on the Monday for a concert.  is there any chance this strike won’t go ahead?  does the overground still run?  Overground is still here but has been 'rebranded' with several different names.

All I can say is that this 'Foe' function is working excellent at completely filtering out mindless rubbish that is not even worth skimming once.

It is a great flag (pardon the pun), as some threads are now almost completey 'self-cleansing'.

Steve Howe - Sketches In The Sun. It's strange, despite fully appreciating his skill, abilities, composition skills AND longevity, I've never found Howe's guitar playing did anything for me. I think it's probably the staccato style that he seems to bring to everything, but it just goes to show, 'di...

At my school there was a black albino, always wondered how he got on in life? Probably a good thing if he was in the UK. In certain parts of the world (such as Tanzania), albinos have been known to be hunted as apparently various body parts are thought to be a key ingredient in good luck or wealth ...

Thoughts and prayers...

Side note:

I went to see Nile Rodgers on Sunday. I forgot just how many huge songs he had written and produced, including Let's Dance with Bowie. His set on Sunday was just one huge hit after another, some his and many many that he had written for others.

Bloke is some sort of alien genius...

Hampton and Richmond FC (since Devonshire was the manager).

Nice and local and about 100 yards from an excellent post-game curry.

As far as I'm aware, it was not going to happen again with Lydon. The other three are now having a blast with the new guy (as are the audiences).

Amazing that there are still three members in there from the 70s. Fair play to them.

I still think that Nolan and Johnson's world of Logan's Run is the way forward.

I used to think that the majority of people were fundamentally decent.

How very naive of me!

Think the madness that we saw when the tour tickets went in sale is something we'll never see again. There isn't a band around now who could split up for 15 years, announce a reunion tour and generate the bedlam that took place for those first few days after the announcement. It'll be interesting t...
