  • It's not a bad selection at all.  If you are in the mood for pacy electronica.
  • Hey Frank!  I disagree.  Humanity is important and this was/is one of the few online places you can glimpse the best of it and/or escape, momentarily, the worst of it. It's possibly an age-R thing where the younguns are in their family phase and do…

  • David Soul! I am old enough to remember "Starsky and Hutch", and the iconic Ford Torino. He had some chart hits over here off the back of the show, and he was also a good foil to James Mason in "Salem's Lot" which is imho still undefeated for Most…
  • I remember Zappa and Phil Collins were in the show too... I thought "I wonder if you could have made a band?"  Turns out very probably - The musicians who appeared on Miami Vice:Glenn FreyGene SimmonsLeonard CohenPhil CollinsTed NugentLittle Richa…
  • Dukodelic!!! Just about warm enough to get out weekend mornings. I did, in olden times, commute in coldest months but got fed up getting throat and sinus infections.  Just not worth it.   I do get to ride out to the old monastery ruins as they do …

  • THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE.  I could see this coming and fully understand the move.  Life, and social media ploughs on and on. I'll miss it because it was one of the few places we could talk shit globally and generally agree.  Made a lot of friends…
  • Maybe the lack of internet allowed such parallel universes to exist?  For example with Claus, the classical reviewer was struggling to find anything on him in classical books, whereas if he'd copped a jazz book, there was at least something known ab…
  • mini said: R.I.P. Amp Fiddler Met him maybe 2 or 3 times, says on Wiki he was 65?  I don't know if that's correct but whatever he was on, he looked younger than me and certainly not 65.
  • My introduction to Brasilian culture was in the late 80s when I was at Uni in Manchester.  On my course was a woman from Brasil, first time meeting anyone from there for me.  Her dad was/had been the mayor of Salvador in Bahia.  She was five or six …

  • There's goals in them there Villains, sure.  I was surprised they did Arsenal who I thought were playing with swagger at this point. What about Everton?  Since the points deduction, they are playing like Spartans.  I for one await the relegation to…
  • City dire without the one RODRI.  But I watched the first half and everyone was out of position and playing with no confidence.  Villa deffo wanted it more, simple as. I think Arsenal are going to do it this year, again, as long as they can stay fi…
  • I think he thinks his work was used by the Beatles but I personally don't think it was.  Years back I remember Purdie saying he was in a studio at the same time as Ringo and someone put 2 and 2 together and got 7 and put this into Bernard's ear.  Yo…
  • Absolute menace that day.  Unplayable. I remember his story, the poverty, the ricketts.  It was the spitting that took the shine off him, for me.  But one of the greatest to put on the canarinha.
  • It was a banger, no doubt.  At least it wasn't against City.  We've had enough of that nonsense from Rooney. My favourite one is Bale's, as it was in the CL final and also a nice FU to Real who would prefer he was playing golf.

  • Eddie Nketiah - your fucking 9 minute cameo vs. fucking Burnley cost me 24 points this week that leaving Haaland (C) would have gotten me. I was expecting old VK to get a fisting.  I must must be a gambling man. DAMN YOU ARTETA.
