Only just found out
that Clarence White of of The Byrds was Howard Wolowitz of of The Big Bang Theory
More Holger
I used to love this. And it seems like I still do
Sounds oddly like Ver Dan in places.
More awful 80s stuff
Mr Rosbif recently http://www.wordmagazine.co.uk/content/the-kitchen-sink-yeah-bung-it set out his stall extolling the majesty of the overloaded 80s song. I'm sure it's been said before, there was a lot more to the decade than that. Here's three random tracks which, for lots of different reasons, knocked me off my feet when I heard them.

The Martin Beck Series
I was in Smiths earlier on and saw that the Martin Beck novels by Maj Sjowall have been republished with glossy new covers and blurbs linking them to Jo Nesbo, Henning Menkell etc. They're much better than either and it's really worth reading all 10 in order if you can. Plus Sjowall and Wahloo were avowed communists; what more could you really want. Walter Matthau was in the film of The Laughing Policeman.
Well I was down that way today
So here's Bromley Dave with the dress rehearsal of Station To Station 1976. I love the way it's himself who loses it to begin with, then snaps into being "David Bowie" at about 4mins 30
More bleedin' Exile
I've just been into the local Asda and not only did they have Chunky Monkey ice cream, but the two disc Exile for £9.00. Is this a good thing?
Erykah Badu's shenanigans
Rather fantastically Erykah Badu has been charged with "disorderly conduct" by Sgt Warren Mitchell. It's not the first time he's been linked to r'n'b divas.

Brian Pern
Here's Brian Pern. He's featured in "Bellamy's People" starting on Thursday on BBC2. He's working on his 6th solo album, tentatively titled "Tentatively Titled". One to watch out for.
A Girl Called Eddy
As I'm sure it's been noted before, some music just goes with a particular season. A Girl Called Eddy's one and only album just seems perfect for Autumn. Hopefully one day she'll make another album.
