I note that, despite the major iOS update, Apple still hasn’t managed to restore the ability to convert Pages to Word on mobile devices. Why FFS? It was doable for decades.

Does anyone on here know for certain what’s playing after Van sings “When the foghorn blows” on Into The Mystic? I always assumed it was a low organ put through a Leslie speaker, but now I wonder if it’s just brass or perhaps a mix of the two…?Great noise, whatever it is.

Still hating the latest Apple mobile iOS. Using the Mail app is now like trying to read through a riot of balloons and sausages.

You’re welcome! Have since lost my CD copy and have never seen it on vinyl. Didn’t that Russian bootleg outfit do a few years back?

Sliced white loaf, rained-off cricket, Mr. Blobby.

Not FKA Twigs, but PKA Twigs, FYI.

Not, however, original, apparently . youtu.be/WLvVInjSS4c

Too good a gag not to have happened already!

Oh yeah, jaw-dropping coercive behaviour, like persuading his partner to drop all her friends. But that’s why he spent years going around apologising to people once in recovery. His ability to recall the warped emotional motivations behind his dubious actions is amazing.

Yes, that’s how I did it. Fantastic read by him.

It’s been said before, but woah, Kevin Rowland’s autobiography is astonishing. His rocky journey from childhood confusion to chronic lead singer syndrome to late-breaking self-awareness is unlike anything you’ve ever read before. Excellent use of various C words too.

“Gun”, if I recall, was one of those cardboard triangles with a sheet of brown paper glued into it…

One chord

Chips With Everything

Startling news that Suella Braverman has defected to the Great British Bake-Off.

Indeed, I believe Stooky Bill’s cousin Stooky Giuseppe is the proprietor.

“Fun” fact: the handwriting on the View From The Hill single is mine.

This is THE Aretha album.

Thinking of writing a book about a group of failed pop musicians called “Hey Hey We’re The Manqués”

Prepping for Armageddon?

Also good read out in the voice of Armstrong & Millers WWII pilots.

It looks infantile.

Yes, I thought I had refused, but it tricked me.

I had similar dream once and my in-dream hit was called The Piltdown Man Milk Episode. Altogether now!

Steve Jobs would have hated the new IOS. Fussy, busy, buggy and plastic.

Stay groovy, Rob.

Soul & Fire now sounds in desperate need of a click track! Timing is all over the shop. Not made the Snow Patrol connection before, but it seems obvious now you mention it. They should cut it!

They seem very happy about all the heartache and tears in this video.
