Literature - Chorus: one for fans of indiepop. Fleeting, breezy songs of chiming, jangly guitars, power pop rather than psych. Opener threatens to become Town Called Malice and is less dreamy than the rest, which would appeal to fans of Slumberland bands. Good, consistent quality, some very nice...
Are you playing Blush by The Hummingbirds? Haven't played that song for a long time, but it's a cracker. I like Bizarre Love Triangle by Even As We Speak, but my wife does not. Scar by Cloud Control. Wavy Gravy by Flyying Colours. Sorry Ross - I'm unhelpfully throwing song titles around and...
I was wondering about this, or whether it even matters. I don't know enough about how these things work to know whether this is surprising, but it does put pressure on the scouts - if their reports are not accurate, we've signed the wrong player. Hopefully the scouts are very well qualified and...
39 goals in 212 games is more like 1 in 6. Seems very high to me for a defensive midfielder. I'd be happy with a return of 1 in 10 anyway - that's not bad at all for that position.
It's not right, but it's ok. Actually, I love it. The way those footballs look so cosy wrapped up in that long ribbon in the Birmingham badge fills me with hope. We can do this. Nil-nil.
I saw Inspiral Carpets at ULU many years ago and, whilst I was standing at the front, a fairly scary looking bloke pushed his way to the stage and gobbed in the face of the surprised lead singer, who then tried to gob back, but the scary bloke just laughed and worked his way back to the...
I once saw Nick Cave in Westow's soft play. He DID NOT take off his pointy black leather shoes on the slides and yelled "Come on Archie!" to his son as they careered down. He then retired to a chair and read The Observer. Not as tall as I thought he'd be. That's my only Westow's story.
The Sandrock, Ditchling, where I had my first ever (illegal) drink - a half of King & Barnes Festive, no less. Lovely stuff. Great bar billiards too....

I'm sure @flexyourhead would be more than happy to make you a CD...
That's a bargain. Enjoy the gig - give us a review! I would love to go to Indietracks, but either I'd have to change jobs or it would have to be a week later - I'm always very busy at work all of July (until Thursday morning 10am).
Sorry to state the obvious, but for fruit and veg, try going to a market - you can save loads of money. You'll be shocked at how much supermarkets charge for things like apples and strawberries when you see the market prices. Not Farmer's market prices, mind you....
My grandfather (from Shoreham) had a broad Sussex accent. Hard to describe - like a much softer generic south-eastern England accent. My uncle (also from Shoreham) also has an accent clearly different from a Kent or Surrey one, but closer to it than his dad's. Slightly more countrified. I'm not...
I would love to watch the whole of this game, sounds unbelievable. Shame we've been too inconsistent, but there's potential there if Wrighty can keep performing at a high level. I think an average season in one day games could have been a huge blow for him, but he's put himself back in the...
They, and Franklands Village, possibly Balcombe, were the best in the Mid Sussex Mini Minors league when I played in the early 80s. Darren Hunt was a demon striker.
