The place where my all-consuming love for the Manics began creeping back.

By Susanna on June 28, 2021 • ( 2 Comments )

Another storming night from Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, and another gig for which I have far too few memories.

By Susanna on June 27, 2021 • ( Leave a comment )

You can always count on the Pet Shop Boys for pop that engages the brain, heart and dancing feet.

It’s Glasto weekend – except there’s no Glasto this year, of course – but here’s a memory from a Glasto of years gone by.

Song for the day 25/06/21: Spice Girls, “Wannabe”

By Susanna on June 25, 2021 • ( Leave a comment )

Almost 25 years since the Spice Girls were unleashed onto an unsuspecting planet. Bloody hell.

Album for the day 24/06/21: Lady Gaga, “The Fame”

By Susanna on June 24, 2021 • ( Leave a comment )

Speaking of girl power, here’s a Lady Gaga review I wrote in 2009, during yet another of my myriad attempts at being a music writer. Enjoy!

Song for the day 23/06/21: Shampoo, “Girl Power”

By Susanna on June 23, 2021 • ( Leave a comment )

Half way through the week: it’s time to arm ourselves with knives*, guns** and girl power. *given that this is 2021 where everything is Serious Business can I just add that I DON’T MEAN THIS LITERALLY ** or this

Song for the day 22/06/21: Manic Street Preachers, “Dead Trees and Traffic Islands”

By Susanna on June 22, 2021 • ( Leave a comment )

Is that the bounciest, jauntiest flute solo you’ve ever heard in a Manics song? I think it is!

By Susanna on June 21, 2021 • ( Leave a comment )

It’s Monday morning, and we need a little time to wake up.
