Following the links on my last post I note that the worlds best over produced West Coast rock duo are on a massive world tour this year. They are even gracing us with their presence down under. Even better they are playing a gig in Sydney. However, I have had a long standing aversion to …

Somewhere Else
For those that care, I just took delivery of the latest Marillion album. Six days early. Its called Somewhere Else and impressions so far are favourable. It has already made it to my iPod and will be accompanying me to work on public transport for the next couple of weeks. I’m not driving because the …
More Upcoming Musical Goodness
I’ve just discovered that Chris Difford is recording a new album. As his last solo outing is in my (current) top 5 albums of all time list I’m rather looking forward to his new collection of songs. To make the anticipation all the more delightful it appears that Boo Hewerdine has been co-writing with Mr …
Not Even By Scarlett Johansson
As previously mentioned Lloyd Cole is coming to Sydney. He is playing at the basement on Tuesday the 17th of April. I’m going, is anyone with me? Drop me an email or call me up and I’ll get you a ticket as well. Oh, and I should thank Andrew Collins for almost incidentally reminding me …
Are You Ready To Be Heartbroken?
Yee, and furthermore, ha. Lloyd Cole is coming down under to perform some gigs in April. I’m there, does anyone fancy coming with me? His latest album (Anti Depressant) is a corker by the way, go out and buy a copy right now.

Speaking of Popular Culture
I’m not saying that we have bad music in our car (courtesy of Mr Housewife (KRed Parent)) but it is looking increasingly like Olly’s first proper word will be Agadoo. Oh dear. I shall be burning the CD as soon as I can get it out of the car. Its the only possible thing to …
Not Enough Moon
This one’s especially for the 70’s throwback, but you should all click and have a listen to the master. Its the video for Too Much Saturn by Francis Dunnery;
Steve McQueen
Words reaches my ears (from the producer’s blog nonetheless – he blinded me with science you know) that 1985’s finest album, Steve McQueen by Prefab Sprout is being remastered in preparation for a re-release. I can’t wait, and I suspect the 70’s throwback will be just after me in the queue to get a copy …
