If Music Could Talk

Jonescu, Jonescu! All we ever hear is how Jonescu betrayed everyone! It was Bernhard Rhodelinsky who was the knowing American puppet. I must admit I do have my doubts as Jonescu's confession was almost certainly extracted under duress when Rhodelinsky and his evil sidekick Vinlyski hoisted him over...

Excellent. Think that one's my favourite so far.

But he betrayed the peasants at the Battle of Pablo Simononista! And I was always furious about that until I read the great ballad by the Irishman Seosaimh Mac Strummertheoir which claims that Josep was himself betrayed and misled by the mercenary Mikolai Jonescu. Jonescu, Jonescu! All we ever hear...

Thanks Seb! but, what do you say, we could eliminate the sounds sampled from V13, Medicine Show, E=Mc2 and try to imagine their last LP, adding Sightsee MC, Beyond The Pale, Love Kills, Dum Dum Club, U.S. North, Evil Darling... just to play at being Bill Price, without any sacrilegious intent towar...

Ive been watching reruns of late. I still love this show The London Calling of 70s cop shows. James Garner is still my ideal tv private detective. That was such a great character. The perfect combination of charismatic rogue, personal fuck-up, and highly skilled at his job. Brilliant character, bri...

Got the latest covid booster (along with my flu shot). For past shots, I remember getting completely knocked on my ass after the initial 2-dose regimen way back when, and some mild symptoms with other boosters, but nothing too big a deal compared to those first shots. Well, that changed after the l...

I remember watching it with my grandpa. It was kind of the Matlock of cop shows. No, actually that would be Barnaby Jones . Oh god, how did shows like that exist? The 70s was the golden age for tv cop/detective shows. Barnaby Jones, Columbo, Ironside, Hawaii Five-0, Rockford Files, McMillan & Wife,...

I saw that on Facebook too and listened to it. I thought it was actually an enjoyable show. I was a bit surprised by the strength of his digs at Joe, I don’t remember him normally being like that. He was famously crotchety about songs that appeared on TofP, remember him referring to Queen as the "S...

Nope completely disagree. Peel was the first to play The Clash White Riot on his show. Then many more times on his show and especially on his festive 50s. I think the only time he said anything dismissive about them was when they released Straight to Hell which he didn't care for. But obviously tha...
