Before Urban Hymns turned them into festival headliners, The Verve built their reputation on a more expansive and psychedelic sound. Released in 1995 from A Northern Soul, “This Is Music” captured the band's ambition and intensity, qualities that remained at the heart of this performance at Haigh Hall in 1998.
I was recommended to see Dear England in the theatre but I’m an avid football supporter so thought better of it. Now I have been watching Dear England on BBC (because I admire producer Andy Harris)and have to congratulate

"Back then, Football had soul. Beckham bending it from 40 yards, Pirlo slowing time, Scholes seeing passes before they existed. Now it's press, run, recycle. Athletes everywhere, artists rare. We've upgraded engines & downgraded imagination."

Estos hinchas del Wolverhampton Wanderers perdieron su trabajo y con los ahorroros se fueron al Mundial de 1986. No volvieron: se quedaron a vivir en Norteamérica
Eye-opening trip to a French supermarket this morning. Prices felt like I’d gone back in a time machine by ten years. Fruit and veg that looks like it was dug up or cut from the trees only a few minutes ago. Incredible how we are ripped off from pillar to post in the rotten UK.
