Whats not to love about a bit of upbeat pop/rock? or even "jangle pop" as I noted had been tagged onto Cast on Wiki. I did actually wonder if they should have perhaps put Walk Away as the last track, but then that was me thinking back to the whole Euro '96 as referred to previously, but then...

Leaving it to chance can actually sometimes be a good thing. Passing some time between flights on a night shift I was flicking through social media and an artist popped up that I had never heard of...and it actually made me want to listen to more of their stuff. To such a degree I am actually...

The simple fact that you played it more than the "required" 3 listens I think shows that it is a good choice. Something that you find enjoyable and it isnt in any way a "chore"

Apart from the singles I had never bothered with anything else from Cast, but as you say, they can write great pop songs. Similar as someone else said that they could be classed with The Smithereens in simply knocking out catchy pop tracks and this offering has 4 decent examples. Counter to what...

Now there is a way of admitting you run on red diesel

Apologies but mad busy ... who would have thought it. Business trip and having to actually "work"! Better than I thought and 2 really decent tracks. With the added @Bluehammer seeing them live its a 6 from the Warrington jury Back to work

Another listen on the plane over today and I wondered... Would this count as "Friends" music if it had been set in Nashville?

The old fave...... There's only 3 types of music I don't like, ones country,, the others Western and the last is Sleep Token. First listen on Thursday and I sort of lost my way/interest half way through the first track and got sidetracked as someone put Bulleseye on in the office. Classic Jim...

That was and remains my biggest fear about the amount of change that we have gone through in this last window. I think perhaps that is why it is taking longer for Wirtz to really show what he can do. There have been tony flashes but then the odd bounce or too much weight on a ball, or as with...

As blinkered as Carragher is, I would rather listen to him spouting rubbish than Owen...and that is nothing to do with him going to the rags. All down to him simply being the cure for insomnia. The worry for me with the Palace result is if Slot doesnt play that match over and over and over. As...

Despite the loss I always try and take a positive. In this case its a case of don't believe the hype, No more "billy big balls" and thinking we are anything special, Only 3 goals down by half time? Perhaps it should have been more and you have to give credit to Glasner for that. I though he set...

Ask for an interview with them and tell them you are there to provide a review for the Bluemoon Review Club. I am sure they will delight in being the first band to part of the "process"

There is nothing wrong with catchy 3 minute pop songs! A great start and the album moves along at a fair pace with only the last track being a little "meh" for me. As @bennyboy said I think this is a rare one of late in that there aren't any tracks that you really want to skip. But then by the...

Naked Gun (Neeson) Sadly he cannot match Leslie Neilson 5/10 State of Play, very good 8/10 Honey Don't, quirky Coen as ever and very good 8/10

They don't push things but as you say, not every band has to. I watched another video of a live track they did and it was pretty similar fare to this album, but still pretty good. After they had finished they chatted with the show host (to plug the album) with DiNizio saying something along the...

After my first listen today I was going to compare this to a cross between The Rembrandts & Elvis Costello. Except on this occasions Elvis doesn't rebel and plays exactly what he is told to by the shows producer. Nice guys playing nice music. Whilst it was "nice" or middle of the road it was...

After a couple of listens of this I decided that Tay Tay is better than Morrissey! She has certainly monetised angst and caught the mood of a generation of young girls better than The Spice Girls ever did or better than The Smiths ever managed with capturing youth. It all seemed well polished...

A bit lazy...but what he said! And I missed you by 6 days. My final couple of listens today as I flew over and the final one spookily ending just before I stopped (completely unitentionally) in front of Fitzwilliam college in order to work out where my hotel was. Without the arrangement this...

I have dipped in and out of this over the last couple of days and then had a first full listen on the way in to work last night. Whilst Nick has a wonderful smooth, almost hypnotising voice I felt it was the orchestral arrangements that gave this offering something extra. I do like the odd bit...

Reminds me of a story a colleagues told me a few years back. Robert (almost ultimate Englishman, well spoken, always in smart suits and salt/pepper hair and beard) had been delivering training to NW Airlines staff in Detroit. He delivered the morning session and one young lady asked.... "what do...
