My New EBook: Selected Interviews (Vol. 1)

I’ve just published my new e-book – a selection of some of my favourite interviews.

There are 15 conversations documented from living legends (Joan Baez, Ry Cooder, Mavis […]

Shit That’s Good! Crap Albums I Love # 28 – Terence Trent D’Arby, “Neither Fish Nor Flesh”

Terence Trent D’Arby, Neither Fish Nor Flesh, 1989 There’s that wonderful scene in an episode of The Simpsons where, at a Planet Hollywood-themed restaurant or some such, Homer is shown various artefacts including, the script to the movie The Cable Guy. It hangs on the wall in a frame. Homer smashes the glass and rips […]

Five Songs For Friday: # 10 – Remembering Old Favourite albums

Not A Terence Trent D’Arby Interview
