His Bobness turns seventy1 today, thus it would be churlish to turn one's attention anywhere else.  But WTF is Desolation Row about, eh?  EH??  This has been puzzling me for about thirty years.

Dear Messers. Yorke, Greenwood, Greenwood, O’Brien and Selway

I write as I have recently purchased your most recent disc: “Kings of Limbs” on the misapprehension that the said disc would contain “music.” Sadly, after a couple of listens, I have found no evidence of such. Indeed, to describe the wailing and disorganised sounds the 5 inch piece of plastic now sitting on my CD rack waiting a thick layer of dust to form contains as such would surely result in a knock on the door by the good burgers of Oxford Trading Standards.

This therefore is a request that you cease and desist from making such crap. May I remind you that you have not made a good album since The Bends some 16 years ago. Whilst it is accepted that bands can play on previous triumphs for a period of time and that an experimental period is acceptable, its now time to stop this nonsense and get back to making proper music.

Failure to do so will result in me ignoring any future recordings you may release.

Yours sincerely

Miserable of Stafford.

Continuing my recent foray into spotify and down memory lane, Talking to the Taxman about Poetry.  The Cubs seem to quite like it.  I'm trying to remember if there's any inappropriate for smalls tracks on there, since I haven't heard it for the best part of 20 years....

And now they want to listen to the first song that SmallestCub ever listened to.  Which I think was Macy Gray, although I'm not sure which track.  So I shall look for that.

I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that.

I've been watching some videos of Altered Images on Youtube.

This has nothing to do with how lovely Claire Grogan is ::-) :-*
