Prince's Sign O The Times, one of the 80s most hard hitting lyrics. So much so that it's taken me this long to ponder how weirdly British the line "you turn on the telly" is, like he's settling in for Coronation Street with a mug of cocoa

The one and only time I've seen Jack White and he was playing drums. Like the time I went to a cricket match and saw Shane Warne bat. Nonetheless, this is a strong contender for my top 5 The Dead Weather - Horehound

Brilliant to catch The Vibes on
@marcrileydj.bsky.social
and
@gidcoe.bsky.social
last night. Reminded me of my favourite record shopping experience. Rat Records Camberwell. Flicked the first rack of records I came to. V it turned out. I'd put my finger on this - which I'd wanted since 1985.
