NEW post: Judge Smith (founder member #VanderGraafGenerator) – “this terribly English musical artist will never be a rock superstar, but he is engaging, silly, inventive, odd, clever, unique. I can't think of a comparison anywhere in the British music scene.”
We pick a (Chris) Judge Smith top 10 …

Next up on my (music) reading pile: ‘Rock and Role: The Visionary Songs of Peter Hammill and Van der Graaf Generator’ by Joe Banks.
I enjoyed Banks’s book about Hawkwind, so I’m looking forward to digging into this one. I was interested to read in one of PH’s recent newsletters that he’d not been interviewed for the book - it’s unclear whether that was Hammill’s decision or the author’s…
Everything I say is on the record...as long as it's one of these.
And it was such a wonderful, intensely emotional show. He began with the Van der Graaf Generator song ‘My Room (Waiting for Wonderland)’, one of my favourites, and ended with ‘A Vision’.
