A hilarious new song from John Wesley Harding.
Never tried making love to Bob Dylan, by the way.

Was watching the very excellent part 4 of Punk Britannia last night - pretty much representatives of most of my favourite 1978-1982 bands on it, only thing missing was Josef K. Mark E Smith and John Lydon both sneering over Elvis! What did Mark E. Smith say exactly? I watched Punk Britannia a few d...

Did I miss something? How and when did Christopher turn into Jack?

Nope, I wasn't lucky enough to get the tickets.
I'm thinking of going to Poznan just to feel the atmosphere. There are reportedly around 20 thousand Irish and 7 thousand Croatians in the city.

Love Vigilantes - New Order

Excellent purchases, WSS.
I loved what I heard from the new albums of Beach House and The Walkmen.

I'm in.

Congratulations, Fishfinger king!! Excellent score!

I sort of share your feelings.
I was watching the last 15 minutes of both games standing in front of the tv, and crossing fingers for QPR, and my kid was completely devastated when City scored the third goal, but you cannot deny this was a most incredible finish to the season.

This must be the most amazing end to Premiership season since the 1988-1989 Arsenal win.
I love football !!

New Order will play the biggest Polish festival - Open'er Festival in Gdynia - on 4th of July.
My son went nuts with joy when we heard the news yesterday.

Same with me. I sold McClean before this gameweek.

Otis, go backstage and tell Barney there's a 14-year-old kid in Poland just dying to see New Order.

Have you bought a ticket to Lloyd Cole's show in Cambridge?

What an asshole to refuse Evra's shakehand!!

Happy New Year to everybody! I do hope it'll be better than the passing one.
See you all here next year.

Noise, I hope you won’t mind me talking about this, but I suppose not everybody has had a chance to see your posts on Facebook.
Please do tell us here about your wife’s book.

How are you, noise? Good to see you back here.

Actually, I wasn't asking that much a theoretical question. About ten years ago when internet access was slowly becoming a common thing in Poland, CD’s were priced at around 50-60 PLN ( = 9 GBP ). At the same time, the purchasing power of the population was only a fraction of that in Western Europe,...

A question : would you be more ready to download illegally if a single CD cost 30GBP ?

I met Ross once, after one of EC&A Royal Albert Hall shows in July 1994, and I can only second what Sulky said about him being a gentleman and a most likeable guy. I asked him for an autograph and he wrote "To Jack - Peace - El's Dad, Ross MacManus" on the first page of Brutal Youth so...
