    Has there ever been a better angry song? Flea's bass line is a killer. Taylor Swift could learn a thing or two from Alanis about how to write a breakup song.

    Is Old Music Killing New Music?

    Eg White mentioned that he thought that music delivery in the 50's and early 60's was in many ways like Spotify. Most music was delivered over the radio and whether the song continued on the playlist depended on sales (which led to the top 40). Songs were short and musicians didn't make a lot of...

    At the moment I am listening to an audio book called "Icons of Rock - In Their own Words", by Jenny Boyd. This is a fascinating look at musicians, the creative process, how they create and what drives their creative processes involved in making a song. Jenny is the sister of Patty Boyd who was...

    I've been listening to an audio book, that I downloaded from the local library, called "Icons of Rock" by Jenny Boyd, the little sister of Patty Boyd of George Harrison and Eric Clapton fame. Her book is a fascinating investigation of the creative process of writing songs. She interviews 75...

    Favourite Guitar solo

    Another one. Guthrie Govan, the most incredible player you will never have heard of. He might he the best guitarist going around at the moment. He can play just about any style.

Joe Camalleri would also have to be up...

    Covers

    Please Mr Postman. The Marveletts from 1961. This was the very first No.1 song for Motown. With the "Funk Brothers" who played as the session band on almost every Motown backing recording from 1959 until 1972. This song has Marvin Gaye on drums. In 1963 it was covered by none other than the...

    One of my all time favourites singing a song she wrote 58 years ago, it seems even more appropriate for her now. All class and dignity and at 80 what a Grammy debut.
