If you like the Floyd Kat, you will like this exhibition. Very slick and stylish, it follows their career from inception and then along the way via every album. Thoroughly recommended!

We were in that there London yesterday, at the Pink Floyd exhibition at the V & A, and we are returning today to see Mari Wilson at the Bush Hall in Sheperd's Bush. We will not be cowered by violence. We will stand up and be counted as bett…

What are you listening to now?
I seem to be a bit late to the party but heard this today when Craig Charles sat in on the breakfast show on BBC 6 Music. A remix of I heard it through the Grapevine by Grant Lazlo orchestra with Marvin Gayes original vocal. Fabulous. Give it a go.…

I am beginning to think I have slipped into an alternate universe where the USA is actually a sitcom along the lines of 2 and a half men and Trump is a comedic President, accident prone and always close to a gaff. Now that would make sense. As for…

Well, two of the original Floyd are dead if that helps. I went to the David Bowie Is exhibition, and the Rolling Stones one. Bowie's was better and rumours are that Their Mortal Renains is better than that. Time will tell I too am intrigued by …

I love that layered, breathy vocal sound so prevalent in music of this origin, be it Enya, The Corrs or Clannad. Seen the Corrs in concert, just to prove I have a soft cuddly side. The emotion in something like the end credits of Harry's Game b…

Anyone fancy a 10" vinyl promo version of this for £40? It's the Ewan Pearson dub remix. If so, it's available on the EIL website. http://eil.com/shop/moreinfo.asp?catalogid=247150&adtype=LH&from=LH_app&utm_source=LH_app&a…

It's OK. Not crap , which is good, but OK. Thing is, it's a bit like drinking Cava after drinking Champagne, or eating a beef burger after a fine steak. You won't starve, but you yearn for the steak again.

Come up with name for what is known as Goldfrapp
It was spelt Elycian, but a small shift to mimic her first name would be fine.

I would bequeath Alysian Fields to her. Even have an album cover to go with it.

Very sad. So young. So handsome! And by hanging. That's desperate ( unless accidental in some auto asphyxiation sketch a la Michael Hutchence)/David Carradine). Did a cover of Black Hole Sun once with moi on vocals.
