    Parallel with Elton John whose only UK number 1 in the 70s was alongside Kiki Dee.

    I've only ever owned two ELO records. The Sweet Talkin Woman single (purple vinyl) and the ELO 2 album. Bought the latter in the early 80s. No idea why. Maybe an impulse purchase of a reissue. Don't remember much about it other than Roll Over Beethoven. Been looking through the Guinness Book of...

    Maybe RL fans enjoy attending RL games? Similar phenomenon to Soccer fans attending Soccer games, AFL fans attending AFL games, etc.

    There were a lot more of these promo films made in the early-mid 70s than we realized. Not many were shown on UK TV at the time. Record companies and agents knew that artists who made the effort to appear in the studio stood a better chance of being featured on Top of the Pops. An interpretation...

    Wasn't expecting to see a Big Black number posted. Steve Albini sadly passed away last year. Can remember reading in the music press that he would be working with the Pixies. Seemed an ideal match. Case proven when the record was released. My vinyl copy of Surfer Rosa sounds ten times better...

    Right Here Right Now by Fatboy Slim has been used for what seems like millennia to soundtrack video ref deliberations in Super League. Hence it's now forever associated with painstaking exercises in obsessive compulsive paranoia.

    Should have covered Hey Little Girl and claimed it was the original. Court case would have been interesting.

    Blitz had their moments. Highlight was the 90-second blast of Never Surrender. Precisely what constitutes Punk Rock is a moot point. With that caveat, I reckon the US had a clear advantage over the UK in the 80s. We delivered diminishing returns from football-terrace shoutalong Oi bands. They...

    If the Titans had not opted to afford it the oxygen of publicity, most of us would have remained blissfully unaware of the invoked malice.

    State of Origin 2025

    Let's hope Sarah isn't involved in any more head clashes. At Origin 1, Jasmine Peters was taken out in similar fashion to England's Vicky Whitfield in Vegas. As with Dylan Napa a few years ago, match review committees will eventually discern a common element in such incidents and hold the...
