My personal favourite is this little beauty, Yalumba Colombard Chardonnay in the 2-litre goon-bag . Roughly US$7 for 2 litres - it stays down a little longer than most and does the job good and proper. Not too much oak flavour - so it is suitable for early morning drinking before work. Discerning p...

With such a veritable cornucopia to peruse, I ponder which linguistic gaud will be most efficacious in aiding your verbosity.

Minus points for self-referential song-writing lyric :?: Lucky that doesn't apply to me then. "I've done this twice before, it always turns out wrong So from experience I'm gonna write this girl a song" Just a personal pecadillo Pedro. My points system is my own. People should feel no com...

Andy: I had to look up samey. Here's what I got. samey: Boringly similar or unchanging; monotonous. Example: I quite like that band, but I think their songs are a bit samey Thank you for teaching me a new word......oh, and go to hell! HaHaHa, kidding. :P Thanks. Glad to be expanding your vocabularl...

Reviewed by Andy Balham and Sandy Calico on their way to the sunny North (of England). The acoustics of the car seemed to exaggerate the percussion in a few of the tracks, so take the comments with a pinch of salt: Billy's Little Trip feat. Paco Andy: Nice dynamic. Bit mumbly, a bit samey and a bit ...

I like the chugging guitar tone and the slow breakdown. Overall it’s not grabbing me, but the end is very good.

Del Sesto
Echoes of the MI theme tune in the intro. I like the idea and its realisation. The line “4 for 1 on liquorâ€

Andy Balham – ... the timing is a bit off throughout the whole song. AndyBalham: But loose, sequenced and overdubbed, that's not so good. Point(s) taken. I blame the drummer, he's still learning. Meatwad, no sequencing was used in the making of this song, all live takes. Thanks for all the review...

Jesus on the Intercom words and music by Andy Balham Well Jesus popped into mine today To have a rummage through my CDs My listening choice was worrying Him Said He knows what's best for me Said I don't need to think for myself Hear the moral majority Leave the blasphemous science to one side Forge...

'Jesus on the Intercom'. A named one-bedroom uber-group.

Chin Music I found the delivery and content fairly interesting. I don't think I'll be listening again though. The Dangers I enjoyed this one a lot. What with its indie-style appeal and raw vocals. E Equals Well it's a start. Finding Nemoy I pleasant listen for me, if a little slow for my tastes. Th...

It's a Nashville Deluxe Telecaster actually, but you got the Fender bit right. Thanks for the review.

Of course I'm right. They're my points to dole out or take away.

Andre was Here at Midnight Listening a final time, this is my favourite. Nicely off-kilter and it doesn’t sound like it’s trying to be like anyone else. Cheap Bastards Another favourite. The effected vocal works for me and has some character. Dan-O from Five-O I’m no fan on songs where the si...

Nope, everything is just dandy, thanks. My point was - it's not my song.

Indeed. You didn't like our song. I'm surprised you didn't recognise the trademark out of tune Balham guitars. Blue certainly would have.

I am attending a wedding that day too (being a best man I can't really opt out) and was hoping to accompany Mr $ across the pond.

Well The Little Smokes have claimed Sven's KMKY, though since J$ has not done the final mix I guess we currently suck

If you want out and we have another week then can I ask to claim this one for The Little Smokes to have a crack at?

There may be some half-arsery as to the end product and others might opine that it's lame, but damnit I was on time.

Though I suspect in the light of another week, I may tweak it a little.
