"It's alright, it's alright Kevin ..."

It's alright, man, but I'm not listening to side two today.

I mean -- you're a genius, man -- but side two of this is a mess.

I'll listen to side one twice.

Three times? Sure. Cool. I can do that.

Damn.

I can't find my vinyl copy of "Don't Stand Me Down."

Bill: Come on, are you gonna tell us what she's like or not?

Kevin: Bill, I'm trying, I'm trying to tell you what she's like ...

(It's probably time to complain again about the chaos left over by our most recent move.

Of course, that move was almost fifteen years ago. Someday we will finish unpacking....)

Listening to this whilst working. I was so upset with Too Rye Aye I just never entertained this album. It’s not terrible, but also not convincing me yet. I’ll play it through….

Interview in today's Guardian with Clive Langer who produced Strawberry Switchblade's single Jolene. That record doesn't get a menton in the piece, which is fair enough given that he was also working with Jagger & Bowie that summer

OK, one of mine here

#Dexys with their version of Jackie Wilson Said (I'm in heaven when you smile) from their latest live album. They played #Glastonbury this weekend and I enjoyed watching them on iplayer. Personally I think Kevin Rowland can still sing well
