Updated (after too long) the list of tunes on the sidebar. I feel like I’ve been hibernating, to be honest: miserable weather, bed-ridden wife, mountains of work – I’ve not had much attention left for music, I’ve just stuck so[…]

I was hoping to find something funny on Popjustice talking about the awful, awful UK Eurovision entry (tousle-haired sensitive lad with guitar doing ballad), but no such luck. I can’t blame them, it’s a miserable prospect: the people in c[…]

Three Two Warzawa: Mark Pytlik is an author and an ILM contributor and now he is a blogger too (it’s like critical food-chain Happy Families!). Hopefully his work will clear a bit and he can update more.[…]

The Tofu Hut: Formally at least this is the best MP3 blog I’ve seen – conversational tone, good readable design, lots of info and links on each track. Currently up are some very tasty-looking African tunes, soul rarities and a bit of blue[…]

Vain attempt to demonstrate the pop supremacy of “Touchy!” by A-Ha (don’t forget the “!”, philistines!). A quick look at Amazon and other reviewish sites confirms my loneliness on this point – the reviews made mise[…]
