How Mountain Girls Can Love
Introduction While I knew of the events at The Old Coal Yard, I had never been, although friends raved about it. I do like their toilets for all, which means at busy times everyone has to queue!

Sh*t I Could Watch Over and Over and Do # 15. Top Story - June 2025.
Written and directed by Brian Grant, the video poltergeists around in the Gabriel headspace, beginning with him carrying super-secret MKUltra files into an office, before breaking down under the psychic weight of his examination. By what, exactly? He bends at the slatted boards of a wall, his hands placed in a pyramidal position, to ward out the increasing "light" of this inspection. We must be inside the Peter Gabriel subconscious, riding with him as he jumps the express train out on his trip through conscious awareness.

Sh*t I Could Watch Over and Over and Do # 14
"I'm the last man talking to the first machine. And I don't know which one of us is real." — Unknown Everyone knows already that robots are superior, far superior to mankind: and damn if they don't smell better.

A Tribute to Bongos Ikwue – A Living Legend.
In 2008, a moment came into my life that I will always carry with me. I had just won a music competition. It was a big one, at least to me. I was young, full of fire, and figuring out what it meant to chase a dream. That kind of win gives you a rush, the feeling that doors are beginning to open, that something big might be just around the corner. Around that time, my uncle, Reverend Tim Addah, made a quiet but powerful decision. He introduced me to Bongos Ikwue.

Frippology
Introduction My first encounter with the music of Bob Fripp was on the song "21st Century Schizoid Man" by King Crimson on the sampler album "Nice Enough To Eat", but it was from their album "In The Court Of The Crimson King", a blueprint and initiation of Progressive Rock.

Billy Bootleggers Surf Matinee
Introduction Afternoon gigs are a great idea. They enable you to hear great live bands without the worry of having to leave for the last bus. Although I had to leave this one early, I had a great time talking with the headliners, who are from Toronto, Canada, and Mark's sister is a dental assistant in London.
