If Music Could Talk

To quote the Glaswegian meme comedian Limmy: "Check out Daft Punk's single 'Get Lucky' if you get the chance. Sound of the summer."

That is a good one, cheers Nils.

Last Curb was funny in itself and as a conceptual fuck you to Seinfeld fans disappointed by the finale. I wonder, tho, if Curb's finale would have been similarly received if there hadn't been the Seinfeld reference to play off. If Seinfeld's detractors thought, "What the fuck were they doing?" we k...

34) Triggers: A Life in Music - Glen Matlock. 2023. Kindle. You can't help but like Glen Matlock. At least, you can't once you've medically removed the worst of John Lydon's poison tongue from your skull's innards. Unlike John, a man he doesn't have much interest in being compared to, Glen isn't a ...

29) Sus - Barrie Keefe. Play, in paperback. 1979. Keefe is best known for his screenplay for the classic British film the Long Good Friday, a work I find essentially flawless. A rewatch of that sent me investigating his other work and this play about a black man who believes he's been brought in und...

I dont get this

Daft Punk.

I probably said it here before, but my very favourite Doors story has the estranged parents of Jim Morrison sitting down to listen to his first record and when it got to 'The End' Jim's Mom found a reason to leave the room while Admiral Morrison started shaking the newspaper he was holding in front ...

Great pics, and stories!


Here's me and the Little Duder for his first eclipse. IMG_20240408_175637.jpg

Love it.

I've seen most of the major Coen Brothers films, I'm starting to fill the gaps in now. Watched Raising Arizona over the weekend and found dull and tonally inept. Oh no! I'm sorry to hear that. I love RA, but I haven't watched in awhile. Maybe it's aged poorly. I loved the part with Goodman and his ...

26) Stranded: Rock n Roll for a Desert Island - Edited by Griel Marcus. 1979. Paperback. Like any collection of music writing, this book, that asked the white men and few women who were making a living by their pen about rock music what their desert island album would be, has a mixture of life affi...

25) Surely You Can't Be Serious: The True Story of Airplane! - David Zucker, Jerry Zucker, and Jim Abrahams. Audiobook. 2023. I saw this film more times than I count on DVD and heard the audio commentary maybe half a dozen time, so I knew a decent amount of what this book had to share, but the fun h...

21) Madonna: An Intimate Biography of an Icon - Randy Taraborrelli. Paperback, library borrow. 2018. A great story about an uncompromising artist who has made some fantastic singles and a lot of albums that didn't interest me even slightly when I checked them out. The writer's origin as an entertain...

Alright, lads, I'm back. Anything I need to know? Grease is still the word, love is all around, and caraway seeds may or may not be evil. Grease had once been my favourite film. The last time I caught a bit of it channel hopping, I wanted to see those suspiciously old looking children stop their ca...
