Good King Hal, desperate for funds, is reduced to busking for a group of disinterested Belgian midgets and their chums. He is seen here during his 15 hour rendition of the "Best of Emerson Lake and Palmer". He soon had the bus fare and a broken nose. People who don't know the south west very well often comment to me that if I am working in Gloucestershire that I must be pleased as it is "nice...

Imagine taking a pinch of Jethro Tull, a handful of Yes with a seasoned Rick Wakeman and more than a fistful of early Deep Purple.

As I was finishing up Barker and Taylor's Faking It last night, and started Simon Reynolds Rip It Up and Start Again: Postpunk 1978-1984 , I got to thinking more and more about the whole issue of authenticity. One of Reynolds major theses is that postpunk, unlike punk, sought to undermine ideas about authenticity as it consciously merged a variety of musical styles, believing that the destructive aspects...

Did anyone ever mention a band to you and you just thought to youself i don't like them even though you'd never heard them. When i was in school many years ago you were either in the Glam camp or the rock camp and very rarely did the twain meet. I was into Bowie/T Rex/Sweet and some of my friends were into Zeppelin/ Genesis/ Yes etc and as much as we tried to intergrate each other into our music it...
