  1. Another one from a few months ago, I'm listening to albums all the way through for he first time in ages, there will probably be tracks on side two of albums I’ve owned for months that I’ve never heard… it’s a joy. Mexican psyche-rock duo Lorene Meets The Obsolete's latest, Datura on the Sonic Cathedral label. I really do like his band's last two albums since they adopted a more experimental style and adding electronics in with their spacey / Psyche guitars
  2. Nope, never got any stick I remember. It was all Ellis' fault. Hate was reserved for Ellis's even then
  3. Dominant hand, you need to think ahead. No need to thank me
  4. I've moved 12 miles away and I can still imagine the terrifying noise 5 months later… Anyway as his bagpipes obviously couldn’t be tuned you can’t tune them out
  5. Unless he’s lost shitloads of weight, mind you it was years ago I last saw him in the Ansells, he was huge
  6. What an antithetical disparagement!
  7. Yeah I've got mates that live in Barnes and places directly on the flight path. It’s the same with railway lines, after a couple of months you just naturally tune the noise out and don’t notice it
  8. Not one of the 14 players that played in the league campaign got any stick. 14 players in a 42 game season, on pitches that wouldn’t be deemed playable these days. Still a record I think and one that is highly unlikely to be beaten. They were all heroes to us
  9. Most likely the Patriot PMC run by Shiogu but that depends how far Putin is capable of trusting him.
  10. Highly appropriate album and oh yes the bass is louder and much more defined on this new deck. This one has flown under the radar this year I think but it is one of my favourite releases, safe to say it'll be in the end of year list. Bass player in late 70s / early 80s DIY post punk feminist Rough Trade band The Raincoats if you were wondering. Co-produced with Youth who also plays alongside Helen McCookerybook and others. Released on that Jack White's Third Man label. Worthy of your time.
  11. You get used to it, we're right on the normal take off path for John Lemon Airport, just at the point where planes heading east bank to the right. Not so bad for us though because at JLA you get two hours of take off from about 6:30 am when I am generally up anyway, then I’m in work or out most days and in the evenings it’s generally landings and that’s just Runcorn, Widnes and Speke's problem, which is no more than those inbreds deserve Sometimes he wind will be in the opposite direction so the pattern gets reversed but not very often
  12. That’s long been the case but they still do and they will continue to do so
  13. The upgrade of the old deck, Project Debut Carbon EVO I went for that in the end because it’s several generations on from my old one. Carbon tone arm, upgraded cartridge and they’ve also fixed my bugbear by having a switch to change speeds instead of having to take the platter off to manually move the belt. I also have the upgrade acrylic platter on the old deck so that’s a straight swap. Sounds flipping amazing, much improved bass definition is very noticeable and the separation is also much better. I’m definitely hearing stuff I couldn’t before
  14. As I have today bought me a brand new turntable. I have the match on silent and as is tradition, new hifi equipment, the ultimate test record comes out
  15. Being reported by BBC News now, him and 9 others
  16. That actually only took one match this season
  17. He'll ask you where you got it next
  18. I was taking a world view not a Ukrainian specific view
  19. And very specialised detailed maps of Russian positions
  20. No, it can be much much worse. There are only a few ways Putin goes; 1. Palace Coup - Putin is far more intelligent than anyone around him - most likely a worse outcome 2. Military Coup - Putin is also far more intelligent than any of his high ranking generals - most likely a worse outcome 3. Civil War - would require the assistance of the Military but there is a chance of a better leader but there is also a greater chance of much worse 4. Putin dies of natural causes - see Palace Coup That's the short term outlook as I see it
  21. That would involve an invasion and occupation of Russia. That isn't going to happen
