Happy accidents, whooping at gigs and why the album review star system doesn’t work anymore

  • Resumen

  • In which we hoof a few balls round the rock and roll pitch and try to stick some in the net. Extracts from the live match commentary include ….

    … “Whipping Post!” “Paint it black, you devil!”: when did the audience become part of the show?

    … the special, unrepeatable thing about Bill Evans At The Village Vanguard.

    … GambleGate and the most we’ve ever bet on anything.

    … why young musicians today are so good. And why most Americans could outplay the British.

    … ‘60s Jamaican ska, 2-Tone and other imperfect imitations of the original.

    … does the mainstream exist anymore?

    … did the Animals’ House of the Rising Sun invent folk-rock?

    … the voice of Word In Your Ear, Kerry Shale: who is that masked man?

    … the new Al Murray promotional tactic.

    … and does anyone else remember Alice’s Restaurant?

    Plus Count Basie, Frank Sinatra, the Beatles playing Motown, Emily Roberts of the Last Dinner Party playing Gershwin and birthday guest Blaine Allan.
