I see that the Stroppy One, briefly stuck for blogging ideas (like us at Shiraz just at the moment), has launched an unprovoked attack on my musical tastes, accusing me of being a representative of “good time” jazz. I may have used that term ironically at one time or another, but it’s not really how [...]

I'm starting to wonder if everyone else spends their days stuck in a studio like I do. Clearly not, all of you have brains and are out enjoying the sun. I am, however, stuck in the studio again. And not even my nice little satellite studio, the big communal one. So here's my guide on how to survive in one room. 1) Reading material. I left my amazing book on the train (idiot) and therefore have resorted...

Beechworth, Victoria, Australia. Shiraz. 13.9%. Screwcap. Approx $A40 As with the Jack Reidy by Clonakilla, this is only available through one particular national retailer. It's an interesting exercise, tapping some of Australia's leading boutique producers for an exclusive line of wines. I'm a convert, happily picking up some of this, the Reidy and the RK Chardonnay. I liked this. It does remind me...

Amir Taheri: FOR 30 years, the tradition has been for each newly elected president of the Is lamic Republic to travel at once to Mashad, Iran's main "holy" city, to thank Ali bin Mussa, the only one of Shiism's 12 imams buried in Iranian soil. When he was first elected president four years ago, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad made much of the Mashad trip by spreading rumors about his "secret"...

Guardian: He came to my shop around 10.30am. You could tell straight away that he had just been released. His face was bruised all over. His teeth were broken and he could hardly open his eyes. He was not even into politics. He was just an ordinary 18-year-old in the last year of school. Before the election he came to me and asked how he should vote. He looks up to me. His father is an Ahmadinejad...
