Desert Island Discs
Hah! I have played this game in my head for years, including the imaginary "book in addition to the bible and complete works of shakespeare" and the "luxury item". As far as i can remember, the only person who has chosen a GF son…

Someone on Wikipedia added album title - Pangæa. that's a very Bjork-y title. I like it. And it fits with the geology theme!

£2.99 doesn't sound a great deal now (depending on certain factors) but was equivalent to around £12 today. But can money ever be wasted where a Siouxsie record is concerned? ;) Well quite. I had to plan carefully which albums to buy in t…

I do love vinyl, but I never recovered from 13th November 1978, when I waited outside the record shop in Oxford High Street at 8.30am to get Siouxsie and The Banshees "The Scream". I biked straight home with it - a promptly dropped the nee…

John Berger's death, 2 days ago, is not the start to 2017 I was looking for. His introduction to art criticism, "Ways of Seeing" was exactly the sort of TV we no longer get these days - politically radical, and treating the viewer as …

^Yes - I think the media, social or otherwise, are too addicted to novelty and money values for anything that GF does now to generate much of a stir. They could create the greatest musical masterpiece of all time but if it doesn't include a sca…

Before my time but I believe it was to stop spammers who neally killed the site off a few years ago. That's why you may here some of the old timers talk about the old board... Yes, towards the end of the old GMB, bots were starting and spammi…

^HJ has admitted that he is the author of "Armadillo" as a category title, so I imagine he is playing with us again. But yeah, not bad song names.

Tea to help sleep anyone? Although I have no difficulty dropping off, and am sleepy all day long, I always wake after 5-10 minutes of dreaming, and never reach deep sleep. I am desperate!

Yes, the lasso of truth. It would be great if that was the way of defeating the baddies. Like quite a large proprtion of the world's population, I suspect, I have had a gutsfull of hyperviolence as a way of bringing "peace". But wha…

The release of TOU was anticipated by an official press release and that little trailer (remember? - with the handwritten titles?) in mid June. This site got re-done about then and then Lauren Laverne played "Drew" on her radio show in m…

I'm thinking of Sergio Leone with maybe some yeehaw country stylings (it would fit with the desert rocks)

George Michael was one of us too. One of his Desert Island Discs was "Paper Bag".

I'm not sold on that being the cover of the album. They went to the Canary Islands to make use of the fantastic scenery, seems a bit odd to have such a plain album cover. Its definitely a contrast to the volcanic/plutonic/desert rock themes …

Another of the things I have learned from being so ill is that even listening to music requires some unexpected bodily functions. For instance, my adrenal responses are very erratic atm, and my natural cortisol production virtually nil. (I have to…

I've never been so frightened as when, aged about 10, I was alone in a wood at dusk. I was already jumping at shadows when from beneath an overhanging tree just a few yards away, I heard Fox Usain Bolt now uses film of my exiting the wood as …

Coyotes? Really? It seems like birds would sound a lot better? Both for choice! I just love the sense of being surrounded by wild creatures. I used to make an annual trip to the North Norfolk coast in the autumn. That's the time of year when…
