Stuff, nonsense, the white heat of debate and yesterday’s news today! Which this week involves …
… which of these didn’t host a TV chat show – Ian Botham, Charlotte Church, Lily Allen or Harold Wilson?
… if you’d paid £102 to see two-thirds of the Fugees show up an hour late, wouldn’t you SCREAM for a refund?
… Britain’s most rock’n’roll hotel and why the idea of “excess” seems purely American
… Dave and Stephane Grappelli at the Sunset Marquis
… Reversing Into Tomorrow! We Came, We Saw, We Left! The genius of Stiff Records, “the Motown of Bayswater”, and the oddballs and misfits they signed
… “there are only two types of record demand: too little and too much”
… “Artistic breakthrough, the first double B-side!” The single that started the Indie boom
… and why naked ballet doesn’t work.
