Thanks to work I found myself in Florence, Italy with some time to myself. I knew this prior to my trip so i did what I always do when visiting somewhere, I type the words RECORD SHOP into Google maps, they exist in Florence in abundance. I didn’t expect to get to them all but…
According to The Official Charts (UK), theses are the biggest songs on 2025. My question is, where are all the bands? Now just to be clear, I am not posting this as I have any issue or dislike of any solo artists or any of those in the lists below. It’s just a shame that…
I came across this today on social media, a website that kicks off with the first day, the first broadcast of MTV. The site then either shuffles random videos at you or you can choose decades based on preference. If .you had any love of MTV, its worth a look. Follow the basic instructions and with…
It’s a great festival, they have got it right and i’m impressed every year by the organisation and lineup.
