Tour Diary: # 8 – Sydney from a 747
We fly through the night – which works pretty good, just the one movie, a couple pages of my book and then sleep, mostly sleep. Osc is out for most of the flight, which is great. I could have probably tried a bit harder to read more – isn’t that always the way – but […]Archive

Playlist: Songs for Sam on his 40th
My mate Sam had a 40th and got me to be the DJ. He chose the records – from my collection. I chose the songs and lined ‘em up. We had a party. Oh, there were other people there too…it wasn’t just us. That would have been a weird and boring party. Well, weird anyway… […]Archive

The Vinyl Countdown # 799
Sid Vicious, Sid Sings (1979) I remember seeing Sid Vicious singing My Way (on an episode of Max Headroom – I think?) and I loved it. That, as much as anything, was my introduction to The Sex Pistols. Before that – they were just names (‘Sid Vicious’, ‘Sex Pistols’) but that footage intrigued me, made […]Archive
