Welcome To My Blog

Thanks for checking the blog out... Hope it offers something a bit different every now & again. Though I come from a pseudo - Mod background (Soul & Ska in particular), I have a diverse taste in music & hope my varied posts will reflect this.

Cheers Skamanc .... I'm not after your undying gratitude, but please leave your thoughts, comments & opinions on the posts & content. I regularly up- & download material, plus buy and trade items. As such, if I have inadvertently "trodden on anyone's toes" in posting anything then please let me know & accept my apologies. Also please support the artists involved & remember that the blog is merely a pointer toward these various downloads, which are stored elsewhere. Legally, any downloads should not be retained for more than a week. So now I've told you the legal bit !

KEVIN ROWLAND (DEXY'S) : My Beauty

OK, we're back in business for now...
Hmmm... don't fancy yours much !! Here's the inimitable Rowland with his solo album...
I dedicate this post to the numpty who insists on sending me weird, rambling & derogatory e-mails about the blog, regular visitors & the music policy. His "messages" make about as much sense as Kevin Rowland's dress sense (literally lol) on the above album sleeve.

    certainly not in my top 10 either Phil. Important to add another aspect to the Dexy's canon however, plus I've had several requests over the month. Next Dexy's related will be nearer to the Soul rebels output... probably a live bot or two.

    OK, I shall chip in with a rare opinion on My Beauty. It's a truly wonderful album. So much heart, so much emotion. I have to be in the right mood to play it but when I am it absorbs me utterly.

    To think that jackdaw Noel Gallagher went mad when he heard of it makes it greater still.

    With a different cover and album concept - and I was at his Reading appearance - I think it would be more widely loved for what it is, a genuine and beautiful work with more heart in its first sixty seconds than Oasis managed in fifteen years.

    Gallagher is a musical illiterate !!

    Well said Puali - sums up the entire bizarre situation.

    Thanks for moving on..

    There's no blog like this around. Yes, a number of pretenders and nearlies.

    Like to hear about the tributes to Neil.

    Your blog's not always my cup of tea and ... what the fuck is this! Bargepoles come to mind.

    Now, for me, the Faces post (around 1972) of today really hits the mark.

    Big question of the moment, can City do what Wolves did, but please don't stop at 2-1.

    Keep on keeping on.
