RICK WAKEMAN’S 1975 FOLLOW-UP PROJECT
How do you follow The Six Wives Of Henry The Eighth and King Arthur And The Nights Of The Round Table On Ice. Well this is a sorry tale and one which explains his scraggly beard and red faced gait. Rick Wak[…]

EMERSON, LAKE & PALMER – Tarkus
Sometimes I despair for the online company I keep. “Ho ho ho” – went the people over on the much despised in Headon Towers I Love Music.” Isn’t Tarkus funny. Its a tank, its an […]

IN THE COURT OF THE CRIMSON KING – AN OBSERVATION BY KING CRIMSON
An album by King Crimson, I would understand. A CD, an LP, even a work by King Crimson would make sense. But an observation? An observation is something made by lousy alternative[…]

PROGGY WENT A COURTING
Yet again rumours of my death are exagerrated. Its true that all that breakfast has caused a significant clogging of my arteries, but nothing a stint of watching Celebrity Fat Club and a gin dialysis won’t cure. This howe[…]

BREAKFAST OF BANALITY 10: TOAST – Streetband f/ Paul Young
Read post

It’s 1978 and Paul Young is the Toast of the town; that is, he’s a square and his music is crumby. “Toast” is an unholy slice of inarticulate spoken nonsense, put to a sub-Stray Cats accompaniment. It describes the young Mr […]

‘You can make the sun turn purple, you can make the sea turn turtle
But you know you can never make me love you more.’
Don’t look for a rose in a cess-pit is an adage I’ve followed much of my li[…]

BREAKFAST OF BANALITY 9: THE JAM – Start
Read post

A repeat turn on I Hate Music for this plagerised pile of pap, and just a minor one really since both Jam and Start are breakfast foodstuffs. Jam obviously, crushing fruits with lots of sugar to create a bastardised lumpy non-alcoholic version of cas[…]

BREAKFAST OF BANALITY 7: ALL SAINTS – Black Coffee & Lady Marmalade
Without a doubt one of the most hateful bands ever for recording not one, but two breakfast themed records. It was a happy day round Headon Towers when this West London gi[…]

BREAKFAST OF BANALITY 6: THE MARMALADE – O-Bla-Di O-Bla-Da
Strike one agains this record is a that it is a Lennon & McCartney song. Not only that but a Lennon & McCartney song that they were initially too embarrassed to record. Its na[…]
