Ramones - Let's Go

Didn't one of the 'band' once roady for Saxon or something?

They're still superb at what they do, old school NWOBHM.

And the other 20% are their kids.

Yes, three songs in and the sound engineer will be instructed to 'deafen the motherf**kers'. Some things never change. Won't be long now till you hear the magic words 'We are Motorhead and we play Rock 'n' Roll'.

Somewhat disappointingly, my Fruit & Fibre was all fibre and no fruit this morning.

We're off to see them at Manky Apollo a week today. I'll be expecting a review, mate.

Pink Fairies - Do It

No yat watter at yam or summat?

Was listening to Saxon live last night at Leeds Academy.

It's a grand day for cycling. A bit nippy but hardly a breath of wind. A little bit of pale sunlight and the smell of woodsmoke all around. Lovely.

Like you, I'm an atheist but I find Eternal Father Strong To Save very moving. We were always singing it at school for obvious reasons. From where I'm sitting I can see my grandad's medals. He was lost on the Arctic Convoys.

That's eased my pain. Thank you for your compassion.

Nah, the handle snapped off the record player.

I can hardly bear the thought.

I suppose that depends on what kind of 'tools' they have in this catalogue.

Went to Hull Truck's new gaff last night, very nice. Despite the play being 25 years old, I'd never seen Up 'n' Under before.

I once decided to clean the keyboard on an old IBM PS1. What I didn't realise was that they were all spring-loaded with proper actual springs. I cracked open the keyboard and the keys shot all over the place. Took me ages to put it back together.

Cheers, I did enjoy it. Shaun Williamson as Fletch diddn't manage to provoke the belly laughs of Ronnie Barker's brilliant delivery, but I wasn't expecting him to. He made a decent fist of the role. The star of the show for me was the bloke playing Mr Mackay.

Off to see the stage version of Porridge tonight. Some bloke from Eastenders is playing Norman Stanley Fletcher.

I was a huge fan of Budgie in my teenage metal-head years. Saw them at Sheffield City Hall many many years ago.

Much better than the ###### joke I was going to make about having to run holding a book for thirteen miles.

The Reverend Horton Heat - Death Metal Guys

He was maybe doing that bloke thing where we try and say something sympathetic then moments later realise we've got it wrong yet again.
