    Rolling stones 50th anniversary tour

    I must be the only person on the planet who thinks The Stones are (and were) wildly overrated. I always found them unoriginal, 1trick ponies. Gimme The Who any day of the week for that meaty, beaty, big and bouncy 60s/70s Brit rock sound (Live at Leeds makes anything The Stones recorded sound...

    Message to Hat Manufacturers re: Inconsistent Sizing

    I have 58s smaller than some 57s and 59s as big as some 60s. You'd think math/numbers would be fixed, right? Imagine if this flexibility with numbers was applied in other areas of life: Next time I charge £1000 for a design job I'll tell the client that it's a "large £1000" (which is...

    What Are You Reading

    Two graphic novels: "Alice in Sunderland" A historical account of 19th C Sunderland and Lewis Carroll's time spent there, with a lot of (almost overwhelmingly so) diverse cultural and historical information. It was been called "the greatest graphic novel ever written" "Marvel 1602"...

    "In the Mood" for thievery: The Miller's Tale

    Copyright and 'sampling' has always been an issue. Here's Glenn Miller's enormously successful (but patently 'borrowed') "In the Mood." Below that, one-armed Wingy Manone's "Tar Paper Stomp," which predates Miller's recording by 10 years. Wingy was eventually paid-off to stop him...

    The Early to Mid 1970s: The Last Gasps of the Golden Era

    I was thinking about the GE's revival interest in the early 1970s and, musically, in terms of popular culture, I think we owe it in part to The Beatles. While the 60s can be defined as finding new forms: the new pop era (ie, Fab Four) and later Hippie/Flower Power movement, from around 1967...

    James Bond: Skyfall

    I don't feel that the torture scene was at all gratuitous! Quite the opposite. From the very beginning of Bond there have been references to his sexuality. And it's true to the book, as has already been pointed out. Just came back from Skyfall. Great! Now I know why everyone is saying 'Bond is...
