I’m no Stones fan….but this is very cool – the new Rolling Stones album is released on Flash Memory. I can see this being quite a collectors item.

I sat and read my Sunday paper yesterday, and read a really gushing review of this album – how it was the finest follow up album in memory, and that they clearly hadn’t put a foot wrong in making it. Any review like that is a challenge for me, I’ve got to grab the [...]

This is a lovely album, right up my alley of things to listen to. Claudia Brucken was the lead singer with legendary 80’s band Propaganda – and with ZTT label mate Andrew Poppy, they have produced a collection of reinterpreted pop songs, not just covers – but real remakes with subtle and and sometimes [...]

Hope there’s someone, Who’ll set my heart free,
Nice to hold [...]

At the risk of turning my personal site into a ‘fan-site’, I must mention the amazing night I had yesterday at Koko in Camden – to see Elbow – who f*&$ing rocked! The band were superb, covering most of the new album (which I have mentioned before here), and lots of the big tracks [...]
