Four cats, sleep apnea, Motown, Disco, Power Pop, an artist wife, & a stepson who likes The Beatles & Metallica. That pretty much covers it.

Yes it’s really something. You watch the first part & think oh god it’s just gonna be a much longer Let It Be. And then Billy Preston turns up, Lennon seems less strung out & they take off

I too listened to this Simon having previously said I didn’t need to read/hear anything else about The Beatles. I was wrong-it’s great

Matthew Savine @mattsavine.bsky.social · 7d

I read your book whilst on holiday Nige-many thanks for all your effort-it really was excellent

I didn’t discover DSMD until about 1992 in a bargain bin in Our Price-I couldn’t understand why so many people were down on it-& still don’t. But it’s nice to hear people still talking about it & appreciating it now-spiffing work 👏

Well this rather lovely thing made my day. Two band members, a sympathetic journalist from the time & another fine journalist (then a fan) talk to Gavin & Simon about one of the most extraordinary records released thus far in my lifetime. God bless them all

Robert Hilburn. They must take up a third of the duration.

Matthew Savine @mattsavine.bsky.social · 12d

Listening to the audiobook of that latest book on him. It’s very good (apart from the author reading all the lyrics all the time)

What a pig of a day-need something to put a smile on my face #NowPlaying

Matthew Savine @mattsavine.bsky.social · 14d

#NowPlaying another favourite where Mr Thompson figures prominently

Matthew Savine @mattsavine.bsky.social · 14d

Oh he certainly did. Sure I read he’s on Congratulations as well……

Matthew Savine @mattsavine.bsky.social · 14d

Yes me too T-also with Richard Thompson about 30 years ago. As someone put it on here:if it’s got a double bass on it & it’s not Jazz then it was probably him
