Well enough of my rantings and on to something which I came across on the BBC's Click Online programme. I like watching Katie Russell, I also like listening to her web reviews, but mainly I like watching Katie.
Thought of you Divinyl whilst writing this article :-D.
Home: Pitchfork
Is a great music news and review site. Streamed video and tracks.

'I was dancing when I was twelve I was dancing when I was twelve'
This post is really for Divinyl.
Her site is such a mine of musical memories for me.
Things I had put away and forgotten. Things that are reminders of my place in space and time.
This T.Rex music book has been in my life for over 30 years. I have played around with some of the more familiar ones, busked my way through them, allowed the lyrics to form patterns and images in my mind.
Largely though, I haven't a clue what Marc was singing about on most of them.
The Scenescof Dynasty (Extract)
Meeting behind the iron sling
My brandy-tongue was like a Caterpillar thing
Suzy hung up on Joan of Arc
Cloudily gave me the key to the dark
Scraping the lice from my bed
I sussed we were teleported into his head.
Answers on a postcard to....LOL
Content is King!

Divinyl does Bob Harris Shocker!! LOL
Once again, Divinyl has triggered a long cherished but forgotten memory today.
Checking out her feed in Netvibes and her post of Sam Baker being interviewed by Bob Harris from the BBC brought back watching Bob introduce some fantastic music to this young teenager, staying up way past his bedtime.
So now old Bob is back on the menu boys!
Thanks Divinyl, and now back to Bob in the studio...

Ceci n'est pas un blog: “In her kiss I taste the revolution!”: The impact of Riot Grrrl on Gossip and music today
If, like me, you believe that you have been shaped into the person looking at you in the mirror each morning not only by those life changing moments which happen to us, but also by the musical soundtracks which seem to accompany them, you will love this blog.
As music review writers go, Divinyl can certainly can punch above her weight, (and believe me, I was reading the NME when it was a broadsheet and bought the first issue of Q Mag!)
(This is an Adult orientated site.)
