There's a New Thing. It's called Track Record. Free. No adverts. No click bait. No negativity. No rancour. Just good writing about sport, music and culture. I've written a big chunk about the abiding brilliance of the Wu-Tang Clan. Please give it a go.

Kevin Rowland literally saved my life once. I have been in awe of his talent over decades,
35 years later we met again and he tweeted this.
Unbelievable.
God bless, old war horse.

Pretty much my favourite thing ever

[Corpus Callosum🦦 @iEatFossils]

Throw my ticket in the wind
Throw  my mattress out there too
Draw  my letters in the sand
'cause you got to understand
That tonight I'll be staying here with you.

Performed in Montreal, 1975.

How brilliant a breakfast host has @PetrocTrelawny been on @BBCRadio3? Outstanding broadcaster with great musical taste. Cannot believe it is his last day. The mornings will not be the same. Best of luck to him with his move. And he gets a lie in.
