Amazing the utter bullshit on this lot people will swallow.
I reckon you should give it a go.

Anyone made a Beatles' related trip to Hamburg? Any tips on live music venues, clubs, tours etc, greatly appreciated.

Steampunk came to Bridgwater at the weekend, and my retailer (pub landlady, actually) tells me they were in the mood to buy.

Dindy, who is no longer with us, was partial to a couple of port and brandies in the morning and was married (briefly) to Peter Wyngarde of Dept S.

Quite frankly, I reckon 18 euros for two expertly prepared negronis and a selection of snacks is outstanding value and should be compulsory everywhere at 4 p.m. Sunshine helps, obviously.

Annual royalty payment day is fast approaching, but YOU still have time to support a struggling author:

Ted Kessler's writing about music never coincided with my reading about it. Being a few years older, I'd bailed out of #NME and Q long before he arrived. Also, his younger persona would've had me calling for a return of National Service. However, his memoir, Paper Cuts, is bloody brilliant, man.
