Four cats, sleep apnea, Motown, Disco, Power Pop, an artist wife, & a stepson who likes The Arctic Monkeys. Still waiting for the gentrification of Croydon……..

And dead right about Madness. As a kid I was guilty of abandoning them in 84 or so because they weren’t “fun” anymore. More fool me cause some of the best songs come from that period. And yes I was at Madstock in 92-thankfully not as a sad middle aged knuckle dragger with dubious values……

I do own Sean Rowley’s GP albums-but a lot of it is just quality music in anyone’s eyes-Rich Girl/How Long/What A Fool Believes/Rock On/Lido Shuffle/I Can Help/January. If I’m supposed to feel guilty about that then guilty as charged!!

When - Showaddywaddy. Mum & Dad had bought odd singles for me before for me-but this was the first one where I actually went up to the counter & asked for

Madness are still seen as a “novelty” band by so many-for instance: the lifetime achievement award at The Brit Awards-never won it & never will. One of life’s great mysteries to me

Is it just because his solo output is so consistent that the vote gets split as no one can decide on their best one? Costello certainly suffers from this-Van to a degree also. I put the total number of votes cast for him would be incredibly high

Chris Evans is a man I don’t have any time for AT ALL but the one thing he can say before he is cast into the pit of hell is that about 35 years ago he played Lido Shuffle on his Radio One show. This once young man immediately went & bought SD

Joan Armatrading’s Self Titled album. The Royal Scam. Arrival. How Dare You? . Desire. Stupidity. Songs In The Key Of Life. The Pretender. Warren Zevon’s self titled. What a terrible year…….🙄

Some years all the best music gets in the charts. Some years virtually none of it does. Most years in the 70s have a lot of rubbish in the charts.

#NowPlaying at the time I would have dismissed her as “Mum & Dad” music. Now-possibly the most underrated female vocalist of all time -but I am 54 & a Stepdad

#NowPlaying would love to hear the forthcoming 50th anniversary Atmos/Steven Wilson Mix-but I don’t have Atmos or a surround sound system. 40 odd year old CD it is then…..

Oh fantastic -I’ve always respected them for carrying on-Sharkey didn’t really contribute to the writing so he can’t complain!!

"Suggest you google this guy" Manchester City Council responded to my 2013 Freedom of Information request for details of their deal with Manchester City by flagging my background to City's chief communications officer. Deeply inappropriate (and that's being generous).

This belongs to Mrs S-apparently she took the whole of the record shop window display when she was in her late teens-this is all that remains !!

As ever, and for the last time in connection with lying shit Jeffrey Archer, we remember Monica Coghlan, whose life he destroyed.

I bought the box set of his creation & epic albums on a whim earlier this year as it was going cheap. Aside from a track or two they were completely new to me-& a complete delight
