I’ve not watched tons of it but, dipping in and out, I’m quite impressed by the ‘red button’ service the BBC are offering.
Just noticed Georgie Fame is on later
My mother reckons him and Herman’s Hermits were my music of choice as a little kid, and that I liked nothing more than to bop away to their tunes Worth trying to catch Blur later Moehat. I got to two of their gigs this week – they were always great live; just now they’re in the form of their lives. All of them are really enjoying playing together again and it makes for a great show. Unfortunately I doubt the beeb will show the full set, but they might go to eight or ten songs with a bit of luck.
I’m very biased of course but they really are better than ever
It’s a shame though not a surprise. It’s made me a bit sad this news.
I remember when Thriller came out I was mainly listening to punk/post-punk bands and wasn’t interested in ‘dance’ music at all at the time. But that album was so good it transcended any petty musical prejudices and I played it countless times. And he was a brilliant performer back then. His performance of Billie Jean at Motown 25 was simply mesmerizing.
Whatever is or is not true about his personal life, he had an unbelievably successful music career, was brilliant at what he did for twenty-odd years and has the biggest selling album of all time to his name. That’s some life.
Thanks for running the comp Z. And well done Mick, but I say you ought to be disqualified on the grounds that you were actually running in the 5.00 – an unfair advantage, surely?

5.35 CaracciolaStill drifting – 16.0 now on Betfair. That’s too good to be true and therefore I’m not touching it
I was thinking yesterday of taking the risk on Nadal’s fitness and covering on Federer at just better than evens. Those two against the field looked pretty safe to me. I’ve just looked at the market today and they’re now offering 14.5 for Nadal
He was 5.9 yesterday. Nadal is likely to face Hewitt in round two and has Murray in his half; still, I’m no tennis expert but that is a crazy price surely. Have further fitness doubts emerged or is this purely down to the tough-ish draw Nadal has?
