I can't be alone in thinking Mark Steel's "In Town" radio series is one of the greatest works of art in the English language (up there with Shakespeare) and a remarkable tribute to the British character and culture.

New series coming, yes!!

Just deleted hundreds of old photos in Google and got 3.5GB of my storage back. Worth it!

I have just received the vinyl test pressing for 'Old Songs for Kids' and it sounds amazing, even better than the digital. Coming soon.

"Soulful, joyful and brimming with confidence."

Some "danceable" songs incorporating elements of jazz and surf-rock. They liked AC DC a lot and think Valentine's Day has "potential".

Thank you The Other Side Reviews - I'll take this as 3-stars!

Arrived back in the UK and the first song in my ears was Get Back by The Beatles and then this one which seems appropriate

Listening to the Glyn Johns (Get Back)] mix and it's a very different album. Imho the released Spector version is better

"Sure," said the man.
"Help yourself to a drink too," said Elias.

There are a lot of people sleeping on the streets in Toronto.

Elias is a local hero.

The Mystic Muffin makes the world's best homemade apple cake. It's a cake baked with love 🥧 ❤️

While I was sat in the cafe drinking a coffee a guy came in off the street and asked for something to eat, clearly with no ability to pay. Elias the owner said
"Chicken sandwich, ok?"

"a meditation on kindness"

This AI Review of our new song 'Sweet Charity' draws on an excellent piece in Honk Magazine (and the song's title) but why don't you make your own mind up?
