Playlist: Paul on Drums – Big Macca Attack

“Ringo! The best drummer in the world? He’s not even”, so the famous quip goes, “the best drummer in The Beatles”. Attributed to John Lennon, it’s actually a clever piece of satire by the comedian Jasper Carrott. Not only is it the funniest thing he said it has a deadly accuracy – John Lennon might […]

Connan Mockasin: Caramel

Connan Mockasin Caramel BECAUSE Connan Mockasin’s second album just might be a prank. But that’s okay, in fact that could be the reason it’s all okay.

The Vinyl Countdown # 1322

Serge Gainsbourg, Histoire de Melody Nelson (1971) Those gorgeous, sumptuous strings and that beguiling version of oh-so-white funk music; the Lolita-esque storyline – Serge Gainsbourg bumbles and mumbles and wafts through these half-spoken/half-sung, buoyantly slung story-songs.
