Just got the new Elbow album, magnificent as usual from a very underrated band.

One of the best bands floating around the UK between 77-80

And the best band of the 70s, and perhaps ever

At the risk of embarrassing myself even more than usual, I just happened to catch a bit of American Idol the other day.

This guy was singing. I was gobsmacked that he was 16.

If you like good ol' country music then you'll love this.

On a recent visit to Perranporth to see an old school firend, I was lucky enough to find in a charity shop a double cassette of Richard Burton reading poetry. I thinik he must have the most beautiful speaking voice of all actors I have known. Here are a few of the poems

and finally a very powerful poem by Dylan Thomas

I actually caught this guy on his initial audition. Not that I watch it, I just happened to be channel surfing at the time.

The one guy on the panel that's not the bloke from Aerosmyth, commented about his style. The wee fella auditioning said that he was influenced by "insert name of country musician here" that just happened to be an artist that the panelist had produced in the past. Very shrewd of the auditioner

Family, fronted by Roger Chapman with his famous vibrato vocals...

Family, the only good thing to come out of Leicester...

Been listening to what must be my favourite type of music today, early 70's rock...

I highly recommend all of these bands, so play loud to get maximum enjoyment!
