The full scale ridiculousness of a pasty bloke from Jesus Christ Superstar issuing a clarion call for old style reggae is that this was released in 1976, slap bang in the middle of what is now commonly known as 'the golden age of reggae'.

Day 8 at the Rochester International Jazz Festival was mostly a free floating experience. Ken and I met up and got a sandwich to eat from Java's, which gave us a respite from street meat for a day (although I...

I wonder what the chances are that Girls Aloud will release “Control of the Knife” accompanied by a video featuring them all in braces and two-tone trousers? Probably not, really, all that high. It's just as well I’m busy writing a paper on the welfare state, otherwise I might have accompanied this post with a [...]
According to the Daily Telegraph they invited an online japanese community to redesign the flag along the lines of the approach from Welsh MP Ian Lucas (see blog entry 27th November). The Welsh Dragon is pretty much unknown in Japan but the Union Flag is. This has brought forth some interesting ideas. Firstly this one: The little manga figure [...]
Jax had her 18th bash last week.... Jax had her 18th bash this week.... Last week was for family and gymnasts. This week was for school friends and other pals (+ best buddy Siana who is like an adopted daughter and attends everything up to and including Jax washing her hair.......)
