And thank you!

The second (and probably final) album review of the week at www.lazland.org is a very experimental album, as eclectic as it comes, Bakullama with Sleepers.

As ever, pop along to my homepage and...

The first new album review of the week on the website is a cracker, utterly essential if you love English progressive rock which tells stories of the gorgeous country in which we live, Brendan...

Well, I think there might be an issue which I certainly need to address with the next one, and that is that the audio of my talking is quieter than the music. Not imperceptible, but certainly my...
