This is a good test of whether you're feeling old and crusty.

The Word is offering on the download site the long awaited release from "Serial Butcher"....

My particular favourite track is the last one: Brutally Bashed Baby Room

Sorry, I've gone a bit Tebbit/Mail like....am I a grumpy old man at 33?

I was trying valiantly to get little nipper to sleep last night gently crooning all sorts of nursery rhymes and finally found a slightly more unconventional one worked a treat: Bob Dylan's Every Grain of Sand

Any other Dads hit upon unusual kip inducers?

Somewhere, somehow, someone must have a photo of him being led away:

Now I bow to no one in my admiration for Jeff Bridges. He of the classics such as The Last Picture Show, Thuderbolt and Lightfoot, Fat City, Winter Kills, Cutters Way, Starman, Tron, Jagged Edge, Baker Boys, Fisher King, Fearless, Arlington Road etc etc. And of course he is The Dude.

But he goes up in my estimation another notch with this selection of bad album covers (a subject covered in a recent Word blog) taken from his eclectic and rather good website:

Back in the late 80s early 90s (choke!)...I used to be mad keen on everthing related to The Doors... but it seems that now I find them very hard to listen to at all. They do seem to be a band that goes wildly in and then just as aggressively out of fashion...
Judging by this clip, maybe it's due to too many people blaming them for the rise of The Quo.

Any other classic bands that are currently in a low period...?

Just bought two biographies of Lennon: Ray Coleman's which is as near to official as possible and therefore likely to steer clear of any fun and games and Albert Goldman's Lives of Lennon which is apparently chock full of muck.

Knowing Word bloggers to be very pro-Fabs, which one will give me a better picture of the man? Of course I could read them first and decide for myself but would love some prior opinion..
