Aw, Jimmy Cliff. First thing that popped into my head was his appearance on Never Mind the Buzzcocks, where he reduced the sometimes very abrasive Mark Lamaar to putty belting out 'Many Rivers to Cross'

By which I mean limbering up to let vague existential disquiet descend into the certainty that life so far has been a pointless, humiliating failure, with all the jaunty inexorability of a slinky pouring arse over arse down a staircase

The Swiss got rock’n’roll after it had been filtered through the rest of Europe so its version was brilliant, exaggerated and wrong. A sincere pastiche of the original.

Delighted to share my birthday with this album
Four decades back a major label released a debut album that sounded like almost nothing on earth while still sounding incredibly familiar. Our man in San Francisco Ned Raggett takes stock of it all
Happy Birthday to the JAMC's Psychocandy, which turns 40 today!

If you’re of a certain vintage, it’s happy big 50 to the eeriest, most evocative piece of music and TV intro of all time. I can hear it wafting in from my parents front room when I was meant to be asleep, the neon bottle floating in to view.
