I bought this single second hand in the mid 80s because I liked the look of it, and wasn't at all disappointed when I listened to it. Kind of like a pub rock Who. Should've been massive. Anyway, the death has been announced of its songwriter and singer, Ronnie Golden. Sad. youtu.be/Lk6BJx3IyN4?...

Jackie Jackson died two days ago. His death did not get the fanfare that the big celebrities get but I assure you he was no less than any of them: a titan astride the earth. In this thread, a few of the songs he played bass on. You know these songs. You know their bass parts. youtu.be/DKVB_CtU8XQ

Watched West Side Story again and, for the first time, I watched the "graffiti" credits. Liked them. Now trying find out if anyone commented on them at the time.

Here's a very short two-parter: On Monday evening, some film dialogue was going through my head. Solozzo pitching his idea to Vito where he talks about the politicians and cops that the Don has in his pocket. We go out and, a couple of hours later, we walk back through a largely deserted square.1/2

Late to this and everything else but the chord which is played after a notable mushroom-related death in the Peter Ustinov narrated 'Barbar the Elephant' is the scariest sound ever recorded.

Craig Douglas is credited with what I think is the best British big beat ballad ever recorded. Listen to his spectacular vocal performance on this amazing tune written by J A Freedman and impeccably produced by Tony Hatch. Why they hid it on a B side is baffling. youtu.be/8dwI1iJcgjg?...

Craig Douglas has died. Had his hits before the Fabs arrived. He topped the bill on one of their early stage shows. I wish I'd asked him about that when he was in the Marlowe Theatre Panto 85/86. "Cinderella". He may or may have been a temporary Buttons. I was selling the ice creams.

Managed some more sleep thanks to the backwards-counting method. Was rewarded with a dream in which I flew a colander as if it were a kite. Inevitably, I lost it over a high wall. So that's another one gone.

Very sorry to hear of the death of Mathew Jukes, loved his enthusiasm about wine, first heard on GLR Breakfast with @figlover.bsky.social and @gidcoe.bsky.social . I always rated his suggestions. Far too young, still in his 50s. My condolences to his family and friends.
