Well, I never knew that! I’ll listen with fresh ears now 🙂
For a limited time the new The Man From Delmonte CD Better Things is Five quid. Ridiculous I know. Let's spread a little love.
Also the limited edition single Every Time b/w Drive, Drive, Drive is £7
They won't be this price forever so get in there quick.

That’s very Morrissey 😂
I don’t know if I have the will any longer.

Will Smith enjoys The Housemartins at the Wag Club. Each song "a warming delight, a stubborn flame to re-ignite one's faith in (and affections for) good old English pop."
😂 Good luck with it, whatever!
I can imagine! I was going to go in 2020, before lockdown put paid, when Rossiter had said it was the last time he would perform those songs. Each new gig must feel like a bonus 🙂
I’d like to think I answer as soon as I can, and give a holding reply if I can’t give a full response so the recipient knows I’m not ignoring their email.
But that’s probably why I’m not in the A-list communication groups…
I think that’s my favourite song of theirs. Amidst some tough competition.
I love that Easterhouse album! Such a great record, often slipping under the radar of our recollections.
Yeah; that does sort of disqualify it 😂
Bill, it’s a fundamental piece of listening. It should be on the National Curriculum. Never mind Burn Down The World, go for Phillyphile… you give, and what you get is one long silence 😍
Highly recommended, reader friends.
Last day for this absolute bargain!
There are many things wrong with society, but what makes any self-respecting man think that trousers that finish above bare ankles with no socks in sight and slip on shoes with the pie rim are in any way remotely acceptable?
