25 years after it was released, Delta's Slippin' Out is now available on vinyl. Born out of the ashes of The Sea Urchins, they never really got a break, but all their stuff is worth listening to. Hopefully Hard Light will follow. An introduction: open.spotify.com/playlist/0fX...

The proposed demolition of the San Siro is an act of artistic and cultural vandalism. The building is as vital as the Coliseum and should be preserved or adapted. See my postscript for a deeper explanation: embracethemargin.blogspot.com/2017/09/stad...

As critical as I often am of Britpop, there was a moment, before it all kicked off, when it was genuinely exciting, and a lot of that had to do with Blur:

Bought OTD in 1972: a foundational album for me, along with Teenage Head an exit from West Coast into sharp, angry fast rock. The whole thing is great - even the covers and the second side is astonishing: Shakin’ Street, Human Being Lawnmower. Special mention for Looking At You, which shreds
