Passing the Dutchie 'pon the left-hand side, we sift through this week’s events, rants and theories which absorbingly include …
… that Drake v Kendrick Lamar beef in full!
… was Bowie only as good as his collaborators?
… Kingmaker, Toploader, Feeder, Slayer, Longdancer, Widowmaker …. has there ever been a good band with a name ending ‘-er’?
…… seeing the Jam at the Hope & Anchor.
… John Lennon was not a working-class hero. Bob Marley shot no sheriffs. Joe Strummer’s daddy wasn’t a bankrobber. Starship patently never built any cities on rock and roll. Monstrous rock and roll untruths exposed!
… why Film Star Good-Looking is different from Rock Star Good-Looking.
… one glove, a swan dress, comedy specs, a snake, a bat …. Pop stars with a cartoonable signature.
… Woody Allen, Lisa Kudrow, Scarlett Johansson and the Kanye West clip that was never sanctioned.
… JD Salinger, Scott Joplin, Thomas Pynchon, Banksy – people whose voices we’ve never heard.
… the gripes of Taylor Swift.
… ‘An Interminable Appetite For Spite’ and other album titles in waiting.
… and Buffy Sainte-Marie and the perils of misrepresentation.
Plus birthday guest Chris Lintott remembers seeing Bowie as a mime artist.
