Exactly who it’s likely to benefit is a matter of some puzzlement, but it’s been announced today that the BBC have been fined £150,000 over Jonathan Ross and Russell Brand calling Andrew Sachs a “Fawlty Towers Second Sitting (Now Reissued On The ‘Vintage Beeb’ Label) Stupidhead”, which if nothing else should please those RA RA [...]

For the moment, though, back to The Peaches. Like many of their equally unsuccessful contemporaries, their approach was typical of the annoyingly large preponderance of early 1990s acts that insisted on continuing to push a watered-down, long-past-its-sell-by-date version of the sound that had been so successful for Stock, Aitken and Waterman in the late 1980s.

In Julian Cope’s outstanding double-volume autobiography Head On/Repossessed, there is a moment in which The Teardrop Explodes are supported by the then-unknown Aztec Camera, and Cope is stunned to discover that the extraordinarily mature, accomplished and charming and lyrically expressive songs are the work of the band’s frighteningly young lead vocalist. Along with their close [...]

Continuing our look back at the Christmas presents you wanted in 1986. Whether you realised it or not…
SANTA CLAUS IS ON THE DOLE
Following on from the Fat Les-esque irony-caked runaway success of supposed-to-be-a-sendup-of-novelty-hits-but-ended-up-a-novelty-hit-itself masterpiece The Chicken Song earlier in the year, and the ensuing album Spit In Your Ear which mixed spoken word material (including [...]

You just can’t make this stuff up, even in the midst of all this post Ross/Brand upsurge in Complainer Culture. Escape From Colditz, the allies-favouring older-brother-and-his-mates-centric million-hour-lasting World War II-themed ambitious intellectual board game from the late seventies, has got TV Cream Toys author Steve Berry into a spot of bother over at eBay. Better forget [...]

“Dear Everyone Who’s Pretending To Be Outraged Over This Jonathan Ross & Russell Brand Business,

Over at TV Cream, a couple of years back there was an attempt to compile the definitive list of ‘The 50 Most Nostalgic Things’, those lost-in-the-mists-of-time defuncteries that best embodied the Cream Era. That list was whittled down from an initial one of 350 suggestions, and here (more for reasons of having found it in [...]

Annoyingly there’s been a fresh outbreak of comments box silliness – part of the reason that this blog moved address in the first place, if truth be told, so comments are being disabled for a while – and it’s too boring to deal with frankly. So until you notice that ‘Comments’ link is back again, please [...]

Latest reports indicate that Chris Morris’ projected hilarious satire about islamic extremism, which promises to ‘do for the fundamentalists what Dad’s Army did for the Germans’, has been rejected by just about everyone on the planet and he’s resorted to sending out begging letters hoping to raise funding from fans. And isn’t that just a [...]
