Like several of PJ's early films, it gets a bit overlooked.

I had that Italian pressing too, sold it in the mid 90s due to skintness...

Well, there's a gig I missed...

Cardiacs' frontman - the late, great Tim Smith - used the word 'Pronk', they're a unique blend of punk, prog, psych, folk etc. with fiendishly complex arrangements. I recommend them wholeheartedly.

New cans

A birdie all authoritative and proud

New Sennheisers just arrived, testing with the Day Is Gone EP by Cardiacs. This should have been a huge hit.

And now I remember 2005, VDGG 3 times and The Magic Band. Aaarghh!

Thanks Dave, found one with that, that meets my exacting requirements!

Thanks DM, I'm a Sennheiser fanboy so I'm minded to remain that way. Just working out the cable options where 3M / 10' is the optimum...

Some 'cans', where sadly the foam rubber from the audio-cushion booths is escaping annyingly

These headphones are 10 years old, sound fantastic but the build quality cannot cope with my vicious ears. Any recommendations for some new 'uns - they have to have a lead of at least 10 feet...

Laughing myself silly at the reaction shot!

It's a long time since I last saw them but the way they strummed taught me the importance of rhythm guitar, they get a real groove going.

Wonderful band, so exciting live, inspirational.

Happy Birthday Paul!

#NowPlaying 12 Little Spells by Esperanza Spalding. This is uplifting and joyfully odd journey round the human body. This is in a wonderful world of its own.

That Masterpieces has an interesting mixture

Top album, and Deke's essay on the insert is a scream!

A space-reptile in a helmet. A broken matchstick is just visible on its right (our left)(by "our", I'm including you, dear reader).

On a bit of a Heldon binge lately. Interface was my introduction, by the time 'Jet Girl' was in full swing - with its wailing guitar - I was hooked. The 19 minute title track is an élite example of electronic tension, with a satisfyingly unexpecred finalé.
