    Dave Sparks wrote a new post, The curse of the successful working class raconteur 3 weeks, 1 day ago

    There’s a great relatability in a working class person singing songs about their hometown. Especially one with a way with words who can create a captivating story in a three minute song. Think early Oasis or the […]

    Dave Sparks wrote a new post, Emotion in the guitar strings 5 years, 6 months ago

    I remember over the years many people who have commented about listening to downbeat music, asking why you’d want to. Which I guess I understand, I mean it’s a valid question, why would you want to listen to […]

    Dave Sparks wrote a new post, I'd like a riff please, big and fat 6 years, 5 months ago

    In the not too distant past Radio 2 compiled a list of the top 100 guitar riffs. It’s a list that’s topped by Led Zepplin’s Whole lotta love and generally full of the tracks you’d expect. The inclusion of the […]

    Dave Sparks wrote a new post, It's so goddam literal 6 years, 8 months ago

    I have a long love affair with Ben Fold’s music but Way to normal may just have been the album where that started to show strains. Not that it isn’t a good album or that I don’t like it, just that it doesn’t live […]

    Dave Sparks wrote a new post, Halfway round the world 6 years, 9 months ago

    Dave Sparks wrote a new post, Who's generation? 7 years, 3 months ago

The start of a musical love

Whilst putting the site together I knew I’d obviously have to write the first posts and I’ve spent some time thinking of where to start when in all honesty I knew who the artist would be, I just wasn’t sure what track to go with – it made sense to start at the beginning. Whilst some […]

I remember when Radiohead were a guitar band

To those who listen to recent Radiohead they’d be probably be surprised to delve into the back catalogue and find that Radiohead used to be a guitar band, and a damn good one at that. Personally I lost track of Radiohead after OK Computer and I prefer them on those first few albums, the others […]

I slightly missed out on Nirvana, I’ve listened to a lot of stuff since but as a teenager in the late 90s I missed the boat and Kurt Cobain was already dead by the time I became interested. Instead I grew up listening to Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl and a great band who are still […]

A cordon bleu of emotions sonny

There are certain tracks that stick in your mind because you listen to them at a certain place or time. I bought the album “Sleep through the static” whilst I was living for a year in New Zealand and this is the closing track, an album extra I think.  It’s Jack Johnson at his best, […]

Nothing deep or emotional,  just a good song. Not on any album and a pain to find but worth it. My buddy spaz  got me a signed oasis lp, so means more

Inspiration for a generation

Growing up listening to music in the 90s The Pixies were a band you would get around to listening to at some point or another. The reason being that every other band cited the Pixies as an influence at some point so you kind of had to see what the fuss was about, Nirvana being […]

An 8 minute guitar education

There are few more epic rambling songs than Stairway to Heaven, it provides a pretty astute summary of Led Zeppelin and as an introduction to the band would tell you most of what you need to know, although it lacks the powerful chunky riffs you may find in other tunes. Putting so much great guitar […]

You make the rocking world go round

Having written about one epic yesterday it got me to thinking about another epic band, kings of the rock opera – Queen. Rather than go with the epic Bohemian Rhapsody I thought I’d start with one song that really sticks in my mind from being a kid – Fat Bottomed Girls.  My love of Queen […]

A sad song with a tragic meaning

OK Go are well known for their video making antics, from dancing on treadmills to making crazy Rube Golberg machines, they have become a bit gimmicky for some people with the videos attracting much more attention than their music. In all honesty their music sadly isn’t in the same league as their videos but they still have […]

Hipster bragging rights

There’s a great fallout from watching a lot of bands and that is that you start to watch new support arts all the time and see some cool bands. When I was in college we used to catch a lot of gigs, being ideally placed between Liverpool and Manchester to head for either to watch […]

Train Ride Into Music

I used to travel by train all the time, and would always prepare music to take on the ride. A perfect soundtrack that would flow by the changing scenery,  the train windows becoming a music video of all times! Whenever I go back to the most “memorable” train trips, I hear the amazing voice and […]

The nostalgia era- Blinding Lights- The Weeknd

Commercially the biggest song in Billboard history was last years single by the Weeknd, “Blinding Lights” an enthralling 80’s super jam zooped up to the gills with blistering synths and electric drum patterns. The song was no doubt a classic hit that will remain in contention for one of the best commercial songs of the last […]

2020 the highest grossing year in music since 2002- but who are the real winners?

Last year broke all streaming records since records began over a decade ago. Commercial radio play listeners were though the roof across all genres and stations across multiple states and countries. It was the toughest year for many industries, but the music industry had somewhat of a revival. The disastrous effect of the pandemic haltered […]

David Bowie – Five years

I don’t typically remember celebrity deaths, certainly not where I was or what cup of tea I was making. Michael Jackson was an anomaly only because I had a paper round back then and had to hand deliver his pigment-stricken death mask through letterboxes across my town courtesy of The Sun. I’ll never forgive them […]

Ween, an introduction into madness

The ween.net website defines the Boognish as follows: “A Demon God who has appeared thrice to the prophet brothers Dean and Gene Ween. It resides somewhere outside the orbital buffer. Tradition has it that this entity holds a sceptor in each hand: that of wealth and that of power.” I’m not a religious man but […]
