Re: Last book read

"I Slept WIth Joey Ramone" - it's not actually the seedy gossip of a Groupie as the rubbish title might suggest - it's a really interesting book written by Joey's brother Mickey Leigh. Really highlights the dilemma of living in the shadow of a more famous family member, one full of insecur...

Re: New Wire Album

Had a quick listen last night and sounds really great - when I heard it was going to be re-workings of unreleased songs, I kind of feared the worse as it usually means a band has run out of ideas, and generally songs remain unreleased because they are shite. But, even on first listen it came across ...

Wilko's son's band...Eight Rounds Rapid

I just commented on the Wilko Johnson thread and it reminded me of his son's band Eight Rounds Rapid. They have just released a great new E.P. "Channel Swimmer" and it's rather good. Of course there are nods to Dr. Feelgood as it's pretty fast and furious Punk R'n'B but with half spoken vo...

Retrosonic Podcast - Punk, Soul, Mod, Psych stuff...

Hi - I discovered this site recently when sharing my Blog review on The Stranglers Guildford show...it's great to see a good old-school forum - too many bands are just sticking to Facebook and you don't get that same sense of community spirit. I was thinking that some of you may be interested in my ...

Re: Boo Hewardine

Really interesting to note that Boo could have been a Strangler...! I didn't know anything about him until Monday when I saw him backing up Chris Difford at a Word Magazine talk/gig thing. He got to sing one song on his own and I must say I was really impressed with his voice - wish I'd known about ...
