All The Years Of Trying: An Ode To Patrik Fitzgerald (2009)

Play For Today: Just a Boys' Game (1979)

The Big Lebowski (1998)

'As double albums goes, it has the making of a half-decent EP'

I'm paraphrasing, of course . . . but not by much.

Via yesterday's New York Times, a reprint of a very youthful Nik Cohn's original scathing review of The Beatles 'White Album'.

Released the same week as The Rolling Stones's 'Beggars Banquet', Cohn found it thin and wanting by comparison.

Sunshine Cleaning (2009)

Quote for the week:

"In the beginning of Time, the great Creator Reason, made the Earth to be a Common Treasury, to preserve Beasts, Birds, Fishes, and Man, the lord that was to govern this Creation; for Man had Domination given to him, over the Beasts, Birds, and Fishes; but not one word was spoken in the beginning, That one branch of mankind should rule over another.

And the Reason is this, Every single man, Male and Female, is a perfect Creature of himself; and the same Spirit that made the Globe, dwels in man to govern the Globe;so that the flesh of man being subject to Reason..." Gerrard Winstanley and the Diggers, The True Levellers Standard Advanced, 1649.

One of those throwaway quotes from a 'here today gone 15 minutes from now' Q & A pieces in a newspaper, where you think, 'Mmm, never thought of that but now that you've said it, you're right:

You'll never find a Manchester band slagging off another Manchester band, but within each Manchester band, people will rip each other apart; Mondays, Smiths, New Order, Roses, Oasis. No one will slag each other off, but inside the band, they'll rip each other to death. [Ian Brown interviewed in today's Guardian.]
