Is it too obvious to say 'kicking squealing Gucci little spoiled piggy'?

Itchycoo Park as a Hatesong? Very harsh.

Release a chocolate hostage. Unhook a stogie.

Tin Soldier is great.

Your mother sucks … sorry, wrong movie.

The Ryan Adams band, Whiskeytown, were great, just as good as solo, if not more so.

Same here. Bits of Wah-Wah are monumental.

I always wondered why it was called 'Thriller' when the video referenced horror movies. As an act of artistic rigour, it should've been called 'Horror', and damn the consequences. A heap of shit anyway, whatever you call it.

Started reading 'Pygmy' by Chuck Palahniuk. Not someone I feverishly follow, this one has, however, started exceptionally well. Very amusing first three chapters, and absolutely loving the voice. Does it fall apart though?

AEDP - If you haven't seen this, type 'Stewart Lee, Top Gear' into YouTube. It's a long segment, but well worth it. (Sorry, don't know how to put links into these boxes. Don't even know how to do italics.)

Bronson Pinchot - and you people laugh at Benedict Cumberbatch? Gee whiz.

I saw our local priest leading the May parade around the grounds of the Church. Just before he went back inside, he hawked up and spat.

Piece Of Sky followed by Can't Shape Up is a great one-two. Much undervalued band.

Boxes vs oxen is another one. The English language can be a pain in the arse, can't it?

You tell me.

Favourite Bonham moment: the drumroll and its aftermath in Misty Mountain Hop. Completely makes the song. 
Also, whenever I play Bron-Yr-Aur Stomp for people who have a one-dimensional view of Led Zep, they never fail to smile when his drum comes in.

It's a side issue, but isn't fearmongering all one word? Whoremongering most certainly is.

I was going to say that.

The first time I read this, a few years after University, I empathised with Hal. Now, after two more readings, Don Gately comes lifting off the page and is perhaps my favourite character in literature. Gately and Pemulis, the two main working class characters, are spectacularly well done, I think.
And I'm open to any…

With Nebraska it's not even just the lyrics - the mood of songs like State Trooper and Open All Night felt just like life at times. The harmonica at the beginning of the title track takes me right back.
Not that it was all maudlin, of course - still plenty of opportunity for Crush On You and Cadillac Ranch, and so on.…
