Chasing the shade and applying Factor 50 in the wilting heat of this week’s rock and roll news turns the conversation to …

 

… Kneecap v the Prime Minister.


… will any openly anti-Trump musician find it hard to tour the States?


… the girl who’s listening to all 10,000 of her late father’s albums, one 60-second Instagram reel at a time.


… a bottle of Snoop Dogg rosé, anyone?  

 

… why Carol Kaye turned down the Hall Of Fame.

 

… Hollywood and “the genius of the system” v the current vogue for applauding individual genius.

 

… Lottie Golden, Laurie Styvers, Jeannie Piersol and our love for High Moon Records, the Virago of the record business.

 

… why self-sabotage is a British institution.

 

… Nick Cave Unisex Clogs? Pet Shop Boys chrome pepper-grinder? Brave new frontiers in pop merchandise.

 

… Genya Ravan’s I Won’t Sleep On The Wet Spot No More.

 

… Beau Dommage, Dragon’s Breath, Two Left Feet … Canadian band or voguish craft ale?

 

Also in the mix … Dawn French, Phoebe Snow, Humphrey Ocean, Alan Bennett and Bridget St John.
