"I didn't get out of the house enough, didn't get enough exercise and social interaction. Plus I was drinking too much because I didn't need to get up as early. I just ended up fat and kind of depressed", O'Brien explained

It is Back to The Future canon that Marty comes from an alternative timeline where 80's kids are still listening to Chuck Berry. Ironically, the film's theme song, "The Power of Love" by Huey Lewis and the News would be musically incomprehensible to Marty

This runs to almost a thousand pages; I'm just over 100 pages in and it's only getting started. I think it's going to be awesome

Goodbye, Babylon. A collection of American gospel music. The box is cedarwood and that white stuff is raw cotton, physical artefacts of the tradition. This cost me about €120, which I could ill afford back in 2004. Still though, worth it.

This was a sacred text in the early 60s folk scene. A folksinger could base their entire repertoire on it. If you were fool enough to let a young Bob Dylan sleep a night on your couch, he'd probably steal this on his way out next morning

American Folk Music, better known as "the Harry Smith anthology" for its compiler, the famed New York scholar, musicologist, mystic, vagrant, avant-gardiste, oddball and filmmaker

1,2,3,4: Punk and New Wave 1976-1979

This is about as perfect as a compilation can get. Five CDs, only one song per artist, organized chronologically. This was like a Rosetta Stone for me, I bought countless albums by the artists I discovered in it

Oops, forgot the sleeve.

The *craft* of this is incredible. Talent is all very well, and she's got loads, but she's taken it and polished it to a brilliant shine. Every song's been given the best possible arrangement and production to maximize earworm potential.

Ah here, is this what he looks like? This little fella in his half-zip? Come on now, there's a duty of care here. You can't be letting him go on TV like this, its not right. Make him a cup of tea and call him a taxi home.

This is a fun read, a literary novelist having a bit of a lark with a popular genre and some familiar tropes. Until she pulls off some kind of miracle about 75% in and you realise, thrillingly, that she was doing something far more profound all along.

Oh, I saw one of these in the wild last week. Hard to know where to start here - there's "trauma" of course, and "brazen" is pretty striking too. But I think the worst part is actually "but".

I love the Impulse label, same label you see on Coltrane, Pharoah Sanders, Ahmad Jamal records, he's working in their tradition, but in a completely non-retro contemporary way
