I've Got Blisters On My fingers. My various ramblings and rants about music, people, life and everything else that makes me furious. Friday, 12 February 2016. Collateral Damage starring Grief, Pain, Anger and Loss. I've been thinking about doing a 'follow up' post to the Grief For Newbies. For quite some time. Frequently I'll be standing doing the dishes and an entire post argues itself into my head and then I sit on the sofa and watch Frasier for the umpteenth time and forget it all. As the minutes, hou...

I've Got Blisters On My fingers. My various ramblings and rants about music, people, life and everything else that makes me furious. Sunday, 12 October 2014. How long will the UK citizens wait, its looking like Berlin in '38. Following a discussion with a Twitter friend. I feel moved to blog. The idea of the UK has taken a battering over the last few months. The fact that it us viewed as an outdated, clinging to imperialism ideal. And then, when a democratic mandate has been spoken, it'll be too late.

I've Got Blisters On My fingers. My various ramblings and rants about music, people, life and everything else that makes me furious. Monday, 9 June 2014. Nutter, filth monger, comedy icon. bloke. I, like so many of my peers, worshipped at the alter of the Young Ones. We quoted it, we laughed at it, hell, before student grants ended (ask someone over 40), some of us even lived it. So, when I moved to South Devon in 1993, to be a barman at a pub near Dartmouth. But anyway, back to the pub. Played the celeb...

A Big Husky Yawn. The New Boring - from The Guardian. Wow Finally a national newspaper noticed something I've been bangin' on about for years.(mainly on facebook - the eternal mouthpiece to nowhere). WHY WHY WHY does having a husky female voice mean genius? WHY does wearing meat equate to genius? Soy un perdedor, baby.

I've Got Blisters On My fingers: Love The Haters
http://mrnickheath.blogspot.com/2016/04/love-haters.html
I've Got Blisters On My fingers. My various ramblings and rants about music, people, life and everything else that makes me furious. Monday, 25 April 2016. I've been doing a lot of thinking in the last few days. Becca and I took the rather unconventional decision of seeing if we could help our floundering financial position by doing some crowdfunding. Obviously it is immensely. What had I done, on Instagram, a curated snapshot of my life, to make this person be shocked that I'd made this request? I would...

I've Got Blisters On My fingers. My various ramblings and rants about music, people, life and everything else that makes me furious. Tuesday, 17 February 2015. In these Pre-google times the only search engine then was MSN. So if you were on their site, you saw MSN Chat rooms. I took the bait and went for it. It wasn’t long before my then girlfriend was lost to me sitting in front of the glowing box at 3am chatting to troubled and lonely people in Anaheim and Argentina. Online meeting now is commonplace, ...

I've Got Blisters On My fingers. My various ramblings and rants about music, people, life and everything else that makes me furious. Wednesday, 10 April 2013. When Indie was real. I have just been Tweeting with 1p Album Club. Follow them - they're great! Signed (this is a link to the video - blink and you'll miss me), then after that, a lot of jumping around (ermm. 'moshing'), and then amazement at the aftermath. There was Carter USM, PWEI. Came out and Nirvana had gone stratospheric, by which time almos...

FAMISHED CANDIRU: April 2010
http://famishedcandiru.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Love is growing in the street,. Right through the concrete. Sunday, 25 April 2010. Burt Bacharach - MAKE IT EASY ON YOURSELF (1969). Take one example of the sort here, in the form of a clip from 1970's 'The Phantom Tollbooth'. All elements are there; the flurries of strings, the infectious, sunny vocal melody, the walk-on solos, the woodwind, the call-and-response instrumentation. however you can always tell the well-intentioned imitators from the real deal. Where a melody like ' Milo's Song. Burt sings ...
