I just want to wish you the best of luck with this, and to say that I know how you feel. In real life, I'm very confident, but when I was 15, I had to stand up in front of the class an read something out in English class. I thought I was having a heart attack, I had very bad shakes and just...

I thought it was "Light the candle!"

What?! You've got me down as a bloody cockney!!!!?

Here's @shackattack 's write-up:- The Chameleons- Strange Times The last album they did as a band ( though someone might correct me on that) It was either going to be this or Script From A Bridge - this won mainly for Swamp Thing which is probably worth a thread all of its own. As a lad...

Wow, that is impressive. FWIW, the town is Middleton. The comedian I was referring to is Steve Coogan - I was in the same class as his brother at primary school.

No, but it's not far from Oldham, where I used to do hospital radio.

No

Clues Would it help if I told you this band was from the same town that I spent the first 25 years of my life in? (That's my life, not shackattack's, by the way). Probably not, so I'll tell you that it's also the home of a famous comedian/actor, Brian Kidd used to live up the road from me and...

A good nomination from @Black&White&BlueMoon Town that generated plenty of talking points both musically and lyrically. Gary Clark Jr's JPEG Raw snagged 15 voters and scored a respectable average of 6.67. As we hurtle towards the end of the round, it turns out that @shackattack is sunning...

It was mrbelfry who mentioned it and I agreed with him. Generally, the music that I listen to values the space between the notes as much as the notes themselves. This seems to be the opposite - it tries to fill every space like some musical wood filler. Well, not every space, but a lot of it...

You've missed the actual score out there - unless you meant to say, like me, 6.5 ?

JPEG Raw – Gary Clark Jr “Maktub” has a good funky groove and guitar but by the end of the song, the “We gotta move” refrain is a bit tiresome. The title track starts with a nice jazzy piano run, but the production is too dense. “This is Who Who Are” felt more rounded with a good combination...

Would it surprise you if I said that “To The Ends of the Earth” is one of my favourites? It’s a lovely, cool, laid-back piece with jazzy chords. It’s a bit short, and I understand what you are saying about it having been done before, but it’s a refreshing break after the earlier bombast. I’d...

Tough one this. I’ve gone for Steely Dan. Love the instrumental bits on it.

Bimbo’s score suggests that he has at least one very strong song in the mix.

Nice. 2 into R2 and 2 into R3. I'm getting giddy after last year's abomination. Not happy that Mad Eyed Screamer is still ahead of me with only one song left.

Where's that skeleton gif that @BlueHammer85 always posts when he's waiting for the next album of the week?

Why? Did you rock up in red and white shorts and a Lech Walesa T-Shirt?
