The Fall

Spinetrak

Wasn’t too keen on this but heard Brix perform it solo a few years ago and re-assessed it. It’s actually very good.

Where I work, people love to give projects really daft names. Today, for example, I saw reference to Project Dandelion & Project Pegasus.

Me & a friend have started putting meetings in each other’s calendars for something called Project Broccoli.

Project Broccoli doesn’t exist. It’s jut a laugh.

If you like Bailey’s and have a Tesco clubcard you can buy Bailey’s for a significantly reduced price at the moment.

The £18.50 bottle is now £9 and the £24.bottle is now £14.

Bailey’s is always an acceptable Christmas present for older people so I bought a couple of bottles.

You’re welcome.

On the CD single version of Kevin Rowland’s Young Man single, released in 1988, the record company stuck on a couple of Dexys’ songs, to try to boost sales. Didn’t work, sadly.

So here’s Dexys Midnight Runners & Show Me, a bonus track on the CD single.

Hope I am allowed this one.

It’s……The Fall (again)

On the Call for Escape Route 12” single, released in 1984, this epic song was on side 2, so it counts as a b-side, (in my opinion)!

No bulbs.

The former tenant was anti corporal punish.
