During the 80s I was visiting some friends who had a band and were in studio recording a demo.

There was a young woman sitting waiting too and I started chatting with her. The usual niceties elicited that her name was Grace, she knew the singer, she was a singer herself.

“Oh that’s great!” Says I “you should cut a demo, good luck!”

Wordsworth…..does the phrase deja vu mean anything to you?

Look at the facts pol: the X Factor rakes in £2,000,000 per episode just from people phoning/texting in on premium lines to vote. And the money goes straight to Simon Cowell.

Take away the phone vote and there’d be no Simon Cowell and no X Factor.

Even if you weren’t around at the time you’ve probably seen the black and white…[Read more]

Well, if apostrophic misuse can feature here, I can repeat this story from another thread without apology.

I recognised the late, great Curtis Mayfield as I passed him in in Denmark St in London a long while ago. Got him to sign my copy of Melody Maker.

He was walking along on his own carrying his guitar in a bag slung over his shoulder. His reaction to being asked was “Are you sure?”. He seemed genuinely suprised to be approached.

Contrast that with…[Read more]

He’s described as a Norwegian citizen of foreign background, so less likely to be a supporter. It would be a shame to add another death to this tragedy.

Jen,

Thank you for sharing something so personal.

I’m glad you did get out of that situation and are someone I look forward to hearing from in JC.

Sceptical, I think I kinda get where you’re coming from. (could that sentence be any more equivocal?)

I grew up with aggressive solidarity the province of men (e,g, the bawdy rugby songs of old).

It was assumed that our gender called the shots. Remember all those heroes who slapped a woman hard to bring her to her senses? And the the…[Read more]

Very true, and the emails carrying them are getting more and more convincing – looking like special offers from supermarkets, enquiries from banks etc.

One thing that i do find difficult to understand is how a person who is being abused, physically, emotionally, verbally or in anyway, returns to the abuser over and over again.
