As I've said previously, I tend to buy quite a few second hand CDs. I had this idea that I'd start posting reviews here, the upshot of which is that rather than ending up writing lots of reviews and boring you all, I end up with CDs slowly piling up next to the computer, so it's probably time to start rectifying this again. That said I didn't buy the CD currently on the top of the pile and second...

There's no absurdly long holiday for me this year - now I have to book time off like normal human beings again, and for the past week I've been in Bristol. I've come back with lots that I want to write about, and I barely know where to start. But I shall take the advice of Alice, and start at the beginning. (This was going to be one entry, but there's so much stuff to write about, I'm going to do...

Lyrics quizlet. Here are snippets from ten songs - identify the song and the artist and show me what a clever clogs you are: - 1) Halston, Gucci, Fiorucci - bagrec correctly identified this as Sister Sledge's "He's The Greatest Dancer" 2) Tiffany and Cartier are telling me the time 3) Down deep inside, there's a place in me I'm yearning to explore 4) Play a song, let your banjo ring!...

Got to dig in now, can't really afford anymore slip ups. Fantastic piece by Richard about the Rock Garden circa 1980. Can't remember the last time I went but I don't think I went very often if at all after we played with The Fall in November 1980. I was there most of the nights Richard talked about. It was a very scary venue with fights more nights than not. We must have had some front because...
