Haven’t been watching the last season but thought from the off that Finn Wolfhard/Mike Wheeler is basically Rowland S Howard reincarnated.

Mea culpa

“Say what you like about Hordak, you have to respect his deeply principled stance against Skeletor”.

Sadly closed today (and until Jan 15th) but if you are ever in the same situation in future then @vocebooks.bsky.social is a cracking independent bookshop in that neck of the woods. I know that’s not much use to you now!

I’ve always thought ‘Sweet Easy Peelers’ sounded like a very beige mid-seventies country rock band.

These are great mate.

Phenomenal book

Was gonna mention the JAMC one which I heard long before the original and for a while assumed it was their own song!

I initially assumed by Grimes they meant Darren Grimes, possibly the least psychedelic human being ever.

Start a novel with this exact line please. I would buy multiple copies.

What about this guy?

Quite partial to a Guinness with a shot of Morgan spiced in it as a winter tipple.

Always been a big fan of the Low song “(That’s How You Sing) The Monster Mash”

Smoke And Fire is a proper tune.

Really love Legacy but not read Judas Pig, thanks for the heads up!

Fair enough! I was a full-on indie kid on the fringes of a lifelong 1960s obsession. They were a useful instructive on what parts of 60s music/culture I should avoid at all costs so give them credit for that.

Ah man they were genuinely awful. Austin Powers psychedelia woo-woo traditionalists. And as dodgy in interviews as that all suggests.

Was really hoping the Free Hit nature of this match would work more in Wales’ favour than England but on current evidence that hope was wildly misplaced. Still, game of two halves and all that….

I bought The Verve EP from HMV at Oxford Circus on a school trip to watch Shakespeare in Regents Park in (I think) 1993 - it was a proper game changer. They were phenomenal for a while there, although I think you can directly track their decline to when Ashcroft took the creative reins from McCabe.
