Rock & Roll and feats of strength! A snapper up of unconsidered trifles.

Co-host of The Mighty Olafs Record Club & rhythm guitarist for Kent garage band The Mighty Olafs.
Pinned
The Mighty Olafs Record Club is a live pretend radio show held monthly at The Anchor in Sevenoaks. We build a thematic playlist from your suggestions here and those of bewildered locals on the night.

A treasure trove of previous playlists available here. open.spotify.com/user/howefam...
Literally no suggestions so far so you have a very good chance of getting an on air dedication in front of a pub full of strangers. Would love some suggestions from the many musical experts on here.
Happy New Year to all our theoretical listeners! The Mighty Olafs Record Club returns Thursday 8th January with a Rock&Roll theme for the 70th anniversary of Heartbreak Hotel and what would have been Elvis' 91st birthday.

What are your favourite songs from the foundational roots of popular music?

An absolute favourite bit of lunancy. Some people dancing to incidental music from The Moonbase in 1966.

"One Froggy Evening," a Chuck Jones masterpiece and the debut of the then-unnamed amphibian that would years later be dubbed Michigan J. Frog, premiered 70 years ago, on December 31, 1955.

Silent Matter: Edward Lear's "Hagar and Silsilis, Egypt," 1856. Bequeathed to the Wadsworth Atheneum by Edward Gorey. Initially drawn to this watercolor because it reminded me of Seghers—later to learn of its provenance and Gorey's search for "silent matter" in all art.

This is the lovely Nigel Farage. The photographer gave him a message before he went to support the Boxing Day hunt.

He’d hate it if people shared this and signed the petition for a proper ban on fox hunting - protectthewild.org.uk/our-campaign...

The New Eves - The New Eve is Rising. They feel like a bit of throw back to the New York Noise 78-82 album with the Bush Tetras, but with a cello player. I have really enjoyed this awkward arty album. #5albums25

This end-of-year round-up is unranked and happily expansive, new LPs sit alongside reissues, the past and present in constant conversation. It’s a long list, and deliberately so: we listen to a lot of music, and finding a lot to love feels like the whole point www.southrecordshop.com/blogs/news/e...

For @theringer.com.web.brid.gy I was pleased to be given a lot of (too much?) space to write about Bob Dylan's ongoing ROUGH & ROWDY WAYS tour, the strangest, most singular, and most predictable/unpredictable musical experience of the decade.

The Rough and Rowdy Way of Life
Bob Dylan is entering his fifth straight year of playing the same setlist devoid of his hits and largely derived from his 2020 album. How did the most predictable show in live music become the strange...

The Mighty Olafs Record Club returns this Thursday 4th December. Due to contractual battles at Radio O.L.A.F this could be... our last ever show so we want your favourite big tunes to play loud in a pub. Let's go out in style. Or possibly be back next month.
