I look a little younger than my years. No, don't disagree. It would be too traumatic at this stage. I have done all my life and was in my mid 20s before I could get served in a pub without grovelling or producing ID. My wedding photos suggest my wife was behaving illegally. I have changed my profile picture so you can make your own mind up but at my last birthday I was 53.I was born in 1955, I can...

The Fall played in the Tripod in Dublin back on the 16th of March, but I haven’t had a chance to give my impressions of it until now. Perhaps the reason is because I knew that there’d be plenty of Irish Fall fans who would not only get there first, but would also probably be [...]

A certain presidential candidate wants to bring us together, or so I've heard. If so, I think there's one thing that we as a nation can all get behind -- that these guys are a really crappy band. That's The Rokes , circa 1967, running roughshod through the Grass Roots ' folk-rock classic "Let's Live For the Day" on Italian TV. According to their Wiki entry they were Brits who went off to seek fame...
