Beatles, Beach Boys, Floyd
Bands who are still releasing new albums
Black Keys, Felice Brothers, Arcade Fire.
When I was about 8, Paul Bracewell and Sammy Lee were at a bbq in my next door neighbours garden. Brace was sound and Sammy Lee was not too bad until I started singing "he's fat he's round he bounces on the ground, he's Sammy Lee". I was sent in the house by my folks and i seem to remember that...
Ferguson. I remember the game well. We had been so rubbish that I was expecting to go into school and be torn to shreds by the rs afterwards. We had so little hope of a result and I'll never forget my uncle saying "we'll get at least a draw now" as we went 2 up in the latter stages- summing up...
I saw him play about 8 years or so ago in a school match in Croydon and remember thinking that he was certain to become pro and hoped he'd be a blue and was a bit disappointed when he became rs. Much rather have lukaku though, no question.
Early days for him but his attitude has been exemplary. Has slotted in nicely. Stranger things have happened; Jags did not look like a future international or EFC captain when he first arrived. I know that he was played out of position but he looked like a fish out of water.
Rarely have more than a couple of cups of coffee in the week. Was kindly awoken at 5.30 this am by my boy (daylight saving adjustments not kicked in yet) and only just eating breakfast now- kfc big daddy box set. Sometimes grease and salt are what you need to get u through the day...
Fairly ambivalent towards him. If I saw him in the street I would walk straight on. I used to admire his dignity and if he had not have lost that quality I would have probably spoken to him and thanked him for some enjoyable evenings and afternoons and for moving away from the misery of watching...
Would agree on Black Keys. Got into them when someone gave me the Rubber Factory cd and have love everything since.
Also, Radiohead always seem to please.
A solo artist who I thought had sadly disappeared is Willy Mason. Only 3 albums but all of them are gems from start to finish.
I remember that team. They were a few years below us. One season they scored more than 100 and conceded about 10. Loads of good players in there. Sad to hear that the school is not so good at footy any more. Our team were pretty good.
