Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and Gaudi:

The greatest chillwave track of all time:

The second best song to have been in Eurovision : Israel in the year that Abba won:

(don't be fooled by the attire and poppiness - as Kavaret rather than Poogy they were a great rock band but they had to go MOR for this occasion)

(the best was French Algerian - '91 I think)

And a bit of pretty strong London and black and Jewish combined:

Oi Va Voi - Yesterday's Mistakes

And, of course, Phil Ochs, dead at 35 - Love Me I'm a Liberal:

Just managed to book my tickets for the B52s in Hammersmith in June. Apparently their final tour. I thought I'd missed my chance to ever see them.

Kristine Kochanski!

The Stone Roses at Spike Island what a gig! Sadly it turned nasty as some Scousers and Mancs can't see past their parochial noses . As a Scouser I will readily admit that outside of the Beatles, Manchester produced the best music.

That's why I saw them live at Alexandra Palace.

Well done to the self-confessional, amusing and rather more stunning in the flesh than on video (whoops) Australian-based-in-Nashville Tamara Stewart and the unassuming, mildly cheeky chappy, slightly John Martyn -ish, Remainy, anti-Trump, Sean Taylor tonight. And who dares to say I don't have a way with (controversial) pen pictures when I'm not chatting with Joe Boyd and sundry others. Haven't heard from Ann Nightingale recently though which is kinda weird.

Attractive performers with strong performances - many thanks for travelling almost to my doorstep tonight., Couldn't have asked for more - in fact it is so suburbanly bloody amazing it is like a weird dream - and fair dues. It is actually historically pronounced Colesden, not that we do. I am keeping what I know and who I am (which is really something in my world and may be more - you never know) low in the mix so as not to be a show-off or to be a loony outcast more than I am already.

Ta v much.

What about Echo and the Bunnymen, or Teardrop Explodes.

Actually it's all Northerners to me.

Chappers Julian Cope is Welsh (That's in the West) He is not Northern but you obviously didn't know that so I'll let you off because I know how hard you try.
Perhaps a pair of Clarkes shoes with animal tracks on the sole and a compass in the heel would help?

Oh he's trying.............so very, very trying. :P I've lost count of the number of times I have explained to him about how to post photos on BCG for example.

Its not his fault Herc perhaps he put his fuzzy felts away too early in his childhood?

I'll say this for him though, he's very good a cutting out and colouring in.

Now all he needs to do is keep his tongue as he does it and he'll be ready to move onto numbers.

Numbers? What are they?

They were all Liverpool based bands though.

And also Wales is North of me!

Working on your premise that makes the Beatles cockney as they did their best work whilst based in Abbey Road?

What a total and utter pile of total and utter shit this Spice Girls reunion is. A grand total of ONE TV appearance (I counted. Four times) where they prepare to shoot their collective gobs off but not sing a single note (and it's not like you had to get Dark Side Of The Moon ready), a ''''''''''world'''''''''' tour comprising fewer gigs than Salinger for the price of 5398 yachts in the c**try they just happen to live in, and now Mel's pitiable, sub Razzle Readers Wives attempt to stir up some limp-wristed sleazzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzze over a one-off from decades back, and even then it would've been about as controverzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzial as Little House on the Prairie. For the first and last time, Victoria was right. Great work Girls, well worth the 12-year wait and 10-million-quid-per-dickhead price tag. You have officially forfeited all rights to a billisecond of my time, a microcent of my cash and a pubic millimoment of my prized fantasies. This is the end. I shall dedicate my ears to Jimi Hendrix, my eyes to Hieronymous Bosch and my hobby to Bianca Guaccero on Detto Fatto. (This does not apply to Sporty. My marriage proposal still stands when you finally pluck up the courage to ask.)
