Ok, here's something fairly extraordinary. Recently found 8mm footage has been married up with audio and it's now possible to see/hear 12 mins of VdGG at Massey Hall Toronto '76. Respect to Jim Christopolus for doing this. Enjoy: youtu.be/8y-NOSMG22c

Back in the early 80s I saw U2 live quite a few times and I know it's fashionable not to like them nowadays but those 1st 3 albums were to me were a breath of fresh air. This song was played live only once(Dundee Caird Hall). For me it's one of their best. Like A Song. youtu.be/32R-9oCXWRU?...

This week I will mostly be reading...... #Genesis

Now playing...... Cd 2 An Alternative Demons and Wizards. Track 8 Why? The bass playing of Gary Thain is sublime. Not mention enough or at all in the lists of great bassists. #UriahHeep #GaryThain

Today is the 20th anniversary of Van Der Graaf Generator's reunion at London's RFH in 2005. I had the privilege of being asked to tell the story of VdGG's return and their continuing journey, interviewing Guy Evans, Hugh Banton & Peter Hammill for this box set. www.cherryred.co.uk/van-der-graa...

#Cardiacs went unrecognised for far too long. The growth of 'reaction videos' has brought their music to wider attention, particularly in the States. Listen to the sage advice this man offers, it might just change your life... youtu.be/t4FYpquRtOc?...

"It’s mixed. It needs mastering. It sounds really good. It’s floating somewhere between Sing to God and Guns, with lots of call backs to Little Man and a House. It's a real out of the ashes. I’m really, really proud of it.” Jim Smith of #Cardiacs on their forthcoming album, LSD buff.ly/4kc0dNL

Here's a trippy thing for you: The 180Gs' a cappella cover of Cardiacs' "Junior is a Jitterbug" from their "Guns" album. The Gs are currently hard at work covering this entire album, but it'll be a while. These are NOT easy songs (but they are soooo worth it). youtu.be/bmxNKMO2kjA?...
