    Happy Birthday Lou Reed

    72 today - getting on Street Hassle be damned, I actually think this is my favourite Lou moment...... all 25 seconds of it. Not gone on the rest of the song though.

    Paul Thomas Anderson - The Master

    Saw it at the weekend. It looks beautiful and the performances are outstanding, but, for me, the story, which should be interesting, failed to live up to its potential. It just wasn't as absorbing as say, Magnolia, which is one of my all time favourite movies. I also sometimes find "great...

    Julie Feeney

    Her new song sounds very nice indeed. Bodes well for the album, which is out this week. I found previous releases quite cold and clinical, but this might convert me... http://soundcloud.com/juliefeeney/cold-water-wav

    Teatime Express: R.I.P

    Sad to see it go. Was always slightly more expensive than the others, but you got what you paid for.... http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/ireland/2012/1106/1224326179805.html The Tea Time Express bakery in Dublin which has been in business since 1938 is to close with the loss of...

    Plumbing!

    My cold kitchen tap is drip drip dripping, so I need to change the washer. This is relatively easy, but I have to turn off the water at the mains, and can't figure out how! I have turned off the two red taps at the immersion tank. This has turned off the bathroom water and the hot water tap in...

    Alt-J - An Awesome Wave

    Took a few listens, but I can now confirm that I really like An Awesome Wave by Alt-J. And they're from Leeds - just like the Wedding Present!

    Pre release album Gigs

    Going to Spiritualized next week. Have a sinking feeling that its going to be full of songs from the yet-to-be-released forthcoming new album. Two or three new ones is fine, but any more than that.... groan! Tindersticks did this years ago, and after 30 minutes the polite muted applause...

    When the Neighbour's Kid Won't Go Home

    The sister has two kids aged 5 and 4. The neighbours kid, aged 6, has become their friend, and is spending all of his time in her house. She likes him well enough, but he's a bit rough and uses bad language, much to the awe of the 4 year old.. He's a bit of a handful and she is, to all intents...
