Kirsty McColl doing the almost impossible and making a Billy Bragg song bearable.

You’ve got me thinking now. Maybe it was SOD. I never really put much effort into trying to tell them apart!

That’s the one that sent them over the edge. In 2008 I was working supplier-side to heavy-industry. That November morning, after he’d won his first term, I was in Pittsburgh meeting a customer. The owners of the company, classic small to medium sized business owners ($500m revenue) were...

Tony Ferrino - Valley of Our Souls

I can’t stand them, but did a mate a favour back in the 80s and went with him to see them at the Hacienda. Definitely a lot more agreeable live.

It had to be that cock

I think I’ve talked about it before on here (maybe even this thread), but Dylan Moran did a, in retrospect ill-advised, US tour about ten years ago. Saw him play in a 2,000 seat theatre in front of less than 100 people. He was absolutely brilliant.

Yes, as they haven’t even officially selected him yet. They won’t have the balls though.

If he’s staying I can only assume that Ratcliffe is content with another season of hoof-ball leading to jammy wins over poor opposition, and playing against every big team like they’re a non-league minnow.

A quarter of a century! I’ll admit that we missed Horlock’s goal, as our backs were turned as we headed to the steps down to the concourse. Back at our seats, I saw Dickov hit the shot, but didn’t see it hit the net, as limbs went flying in front of me. What a day. Am I the only one who...

OMD - Junk Culture

They’re all great, but another vote here for Sons of the Desert.

Wilson for me, a wonderful cover. PSB tune isn’t at all bad, but a bit too functional. It might have won out over lesser opposition.

Granddaddy - The Crystal Lake

That’s brilliant! I had to look him up and he seemed to live quite a life. When the BBC suspended him for this, they said he was “tired and emotional”, spawning the euphemism subsequently popularized by Private Eye.
