Oh shitty death. Magic and all the other purveyors of poo music on sattelite TV have started belting out Christmas tunes already and we are barely into fucking December. Do they not realise that by the 14th we will be so sick of the sound of Slade that we would gladly shave off Noddy Holders sideburns with a cut throat and turn them into a pair of novelty ear muffs? There are many reasons why I thoroughly...

The There's No One Quite Like Grandma Hitmakers return in aid of charity! That Grandma reached Number One at all was a remarkable achievement because the murder of John Lennon on December 8, 1980 sent sales of his previous songs soaring in charts around the world. Grandma knocked Lennon's (Just Like) Starting Over from the top spot on December 27, giving way to Imagine on January 10, 1981. "They...

I was tagged by Jonathan Evens for this meme that’s been doing the rounds. Think of eight memorable musical moments, not necessarily all time favourites, but those when, for example, you felt compelled to wait in the car when listening to this amazing song on the radio because you just had to know who it was by. Or the piece you heard on the tv in a drama that drove you straight onto iTunes...

#1 - Twiggy had a pop career! Well, it was news to me anyway. Note how the Twigster cleverly utilises the skills she picked up sashaying along the catwalk in her modelling career as she, erm, sashays down the Top of the Pops set mocked-up to look like a catwalk, at the start of the first clip. This discotastic track was produced by David Essex, apparently. Owsaboutthatthen guys and gals? Rattle-rattle-jewellery-jewellery...

There are times when I just can’t stand the thought of another post about politics, especially in these filthy, depressing times. So here’s a list that showed up in one of John Sandford’s Prey Series Lucas Davenport novels. Sandford isn’t his real name, it is John Camp, and I first met him on the misc.writing, [...]

Every year on Christmas Day night when the adverts for holidays came on the tv, I'd beg my parents to take our holiday in Butlins. The rides, the shows, the crazy golf - it looked like so much fun. But they would never take me, instead we spent the same last week of May at Aunty Lil's house in Weymouth. I never grew out of the desire to go to Butlins. By the time I'd grown too old to be excited by...

I have been thinking a bit, following a conversation that sparked off here the other week, about the culture of celebrity. People can cultivate or avoid celebrity to some extent, but as often as not celebrities are "made" by forces outside themselves. Part of the difficulty with it for the person who becomes a celebrity is how to continue doing what they are good at while not encouraging...
