I remember Sundays were boring. Always disliked the day since. Tony Hancock on his half hour show did a great piece on how boring Sunday's were then, him and Sid James in a house. Spot on !

Same age as us, also lived through those days
If these 2 tracks have just been played,that means it's a listener's Rockblock. I've been fortunate enough to have had several rockblocks featured on Planet Rock, and once had Emerald as a chosen track.Planet rock just played Emerald /Thin Lizzy followed by Eruption/ Van Halen - solos from Emerald and the whole of Eruption epic !
Same thing happened to ACDC new album, some critics having sly digs etc. As long as you enjoy it who gives a toss what they say.Enjoying the new Foo Fighters album. Some reviews having a go as its not radically different to their other albums. Bit unrealistic to expect a sudden change of style on album number 10.
It's what is known as a "grower" in other words its catchy and may grow on you ? As for Sleaford Mods they are a Marmite band, but I like them.
Got a touch of the Doves about them I thinkI played 5aside with a few of these lads a couple of years ago , first release in a few years
There's a bar named after them in Kardamena, Kos. Always thought it a bit odd. I'll stick to the Garden Bar there, thanks!I borrowed their first album and really gave it a fair play to understand what the fuss was, and I didn't get it - I mean they weren't bad, but...
It didn't help that there was a big fan of theirs at work who was a wanker.
However, there's been a good few times when their stuff has come up on late night radio, and I find myself really getting into their groove (man). I should go back and revisit.
I have most, if not all, of Nilsson's albums. This and "A Little Touch of Schmilsson in The Night" have to be my favourites of his. "A Little Touch etc..." is a really chilled out album, perfect for relaxing to, with a nice bottle of wine and laying in front of an open fire (if you have one!), possibly with the missus or whoever you have handy!Anyone watching the serpent? This was featured in it. What a track!
I've just Googled his albums out of interest. I have nowhere near all of them! There have been 47 albums by Nilsson! Far more than I thought!I have most, if not all, of Nilsson's albums.

Just going on from this, I actually bought his "Aerial Ballet" album in 1968, at least a year before he was even heard of over here. I bought it on the recommendation from a mate. The film, "Midnight Cowboy", with John Voight and Dustin Hoffman, was released in 1969 and featured the song, "Everybody's Talkin'", taken from "Aerial Ballet". It's still one of my all time favourite albums in my collection, even to this day, 52+ years later!I've just Googled his albums out of interest. I have nowhere near all of them!

I read her autobiography, "Billie Whitelaw - Who He?", many years ago. Really good read. She lived off the Binley Road in Copsewood, near the GEC.Coventry born actress Billie Whitelaw in the video.
She was the Krays mum in the Kemp brothers film.I read her autobiography, "Billie Whitelaw - Who He?", many years ago. Really good read. She lived off the Binley Road in Copsewood, near the GEC.
Yeah, I remember her in that BBR. It's a shame she didn't do a huge lot more. She was a very talented actress.She was the Krays mum in the Kemp brothers film.
