carey jeggs 18th Jul 2018		Vinyl Album Philly Joe Jones And Elvin Jones - Together	Unfortunately in mono you don't get the benefit of hearing the Joneses trading fours,or eights,or cigarette cards,or whatever else it is that drummers trade.The general sound of the album is very Blue Note-ish.
carey jeggs 17th Jul 2018		Vinyl Album The Dirty Blues Band - Stone Dirt	For the John R.Bolton impersonation contest only the two blokes on the right made an effort.
carey jeggs 11th Jun 2018		Book Edgar Rice Burroughs - The Land That Time Forgot.	Why is Benny out of Crossroads on the cover?
carey jeggs 5th Jun 2018		Vinyl Album Jeff Simmons - Lucille Has Messed My Mind Up	I'm In The Music Business [YouTube Video]
carey jeggs 17th May 2018		Vinyl Album The Walker Brothers - Images	The helmets worn by the Chancellery Guards of Gallifrey seem to have been modelled on Gary Leeds' haircut.
carey jeggs 24th Apr 2018		Vinyl Album Hamilton, Joe Frank And Reynolds - Fallin' In Love	Never noticed before that Who Do You Love is credited to Eugene McDaniels.
carey jeggs 3rd Apr 2018		TV Doc Martin (2004 - 2022)	Now that the DPP is stepping down she will have more time to play Mrs Tishell the pharmacist.
carey jeggs 15th Feb 2018		TV Only Connect (2008 - Now)	A moment to treasure from last week's show.There was a sequence question based on the titles of Ricky Gervais's tours.A team buzzed in and got it wrong and,when Victoria suggested that maybe they weren't Gervais fans,one bloke said something like,'My hatred of him shouldn't have stopped me getting that.' I love a bit of asperity to liven things up.
carey jeggs 19th Jan 2018		Book Charles Lamb - Selected Prose	Lamb,in Hazlitt's portrait,looking like Gareth Thomas in Blake's Seven.
carey jeggs 20th Dec 2017		Book A. E. Van Vogt - The Voyage Of The Space Beagle	That Bruce Pennington painting also appeared on the cover of the NEL edition of Brian Aldiss's Equator.
carey jeggs 28th Nov 2017		Cinema The Trollenberg Terror (1958)	In which you get to see the severed head of a bearded Labour MP.Well,a simulacrum thereof.
carey jeggs 19th Nov 2017		Book John Norman - Tarnsman Of Gor	Thomas M.Disch wrote a short story called Planet Of The Rapes which was intended as a parody of the Gor books.Unfortunately it turned into what it took off from.
carey jeggs 18th Nov 2017		Book Roger Zelazny - Jack Of Shadows	How did Zelazny get away with it? The only good thing about this is the introduction of cigarette smoking into Sword & Sorcery fantasy. I can't improve on Kingsley Amis's assessment of Zelazny as a purveyor of magic-without-rules who out-Moorcocks Moorcock.
carey jeggs 18th Nov 2017		Book Roger Zelazny - Doorways In The Sand	Unsympathetic and annoying eternal student protagonist who climbs buildings and has a lovable old uncle who gives money to the IRA,which we're meant to think is cute.
carey jeggs 18th Nov 2017		Book Roger Zelazny - To Die In Italbar	His least favourite of his own books but,considering how many stinkers he wrote,I don't know why he should single it out.
carey jeggs 18th Nov 2017		Book Roger Zelazny - Isle Of The Dead	Educational.Tells you more than you ever wanted to know about meerschaum pipes.
carey jeggs 18th Nov 2017		Book Roger Zelazny - Creatures Of Light And Darkness	Incomprehensible;although,inexplicably,I've read this pile of tripe twice.
carey jeggs 18th Nov 2017		Book Roger Zelazny - This Immortal	Contains a piece of useful advice.Apparently blood is very nourishing once you learn to keep it down.
carey jeggs 24th Oct 2017		TV University Challenge (1962 - Now)	Hilarity on last night's show.On the music round Edwin Starr's War was played and a contestant thought it was T Rex.Almost as good as the one a few months ago when a Bo Diddley record was identified as being by Cole Porter.
carey jeggs 24th Oct 2017		TV Deal Or No Deal [UK] (2005 - 2016)	It has a kind of Zen quality.
carey jeggs 16th Oct 2017		Vinyl Album Steppenwolf - Live	I have two copies of this and the sleeves differ although they seem to be the same edition.One is glossy front and back,the other glossy on front only.
carey jeggs 4th Oct 2017		Vinyl Album Mitch Ryder - The Detroit-Memphis Experiment	No mention on label or sleeve of when this was made but judging by the logo I would guess around 1970.Also the Detroit album came out around that time on Paramount.
carey jeggs 6th Sep 2017		Cinema Der Untergang (Downfall) (2004)	This is my favourite. [YouTube Video] particularly 'A monkey in a pram with loud music' I hadn't realised he was so famous.
carey jeggs 18th Aug 2017		Book Blaise Cendrars - Moravagine	I found this so morally repellent I gave it up.I got as far as the 'hero' mutilating a little girl,with a pair of scissors.This was presented as just a bit of amusing collateral damage in his quest for selfhood.Ian Brady might have enjoyed it.
carey jeggs 22nd May 2017		Cinema The Boat That Rocked (Pirate Radio ) (2009)	Not a bad movie? I agree.It's an execrable movie and Tony Blackburn is back on my Christmas card list after his recent diatribe against it.
carey jeggs 12th May 2017		Vinyl Album MC 5 - High Time	Yes it does exist as a UK issue.Now entered with label images.Sorry unable to scan sleeve.
carey jeggs 27th Apr 2017		Vinyl Album Yes - Yessongs	There's a nice pretentious touch at the beginning where Anderson is testing his microphone and,instead of saying 'testing testing one two',like any normal person,he la-las the bassoon passage from the beginning of Rite Of Spring. BTW the sound is mostly dreadful.
carey jeggs 20th Apr 2017		Vinyl Album The Rascals - Peaceful World	Mother Nature Land and Visit To Mother Nature Land sound like the same track rather than the latter being a reprise of the former.I've never understood this.
carey jeggs 10th Apr 2017		Vinyl Album Mountain - Mountain Climbing!	I was thinking of Leslie West.
carey jeggs 9th Apr 2017		Vinyl Album Mountain - Mountain Climbing!	Are they playing Paper,Scissors,Scone on that back cover photo?
