Originally posted 12 January I got hooked on the blues back in the late sixties when I discovered my white heroes (eg Jimi Hendrix, Cream, Johhny Winter) had some very cool black heroes (e.g. Robert Johnson,Muddy Waters, Willie Dixon, John Lee Hooker). In fact, I think John Lee Hooker might just be the coolest guy ever. One brief story. When as an old man, and recently ‘re-discovered’ and...

When it comes to supporting characters, FlashForward is just as stingy as Lost in the doling out exposition. It's taken nine episodes to get anywhere with Bryce, the previously-suicidal-but-now-optimistic surgeon who works under Olivia at the hospital. But now's his shot: The Bryce Episode.

Listening to Acoustic Ladyland can be a little confusing at the best of times. It's like it's jazz, but it's not really jazz, instead it's some kind of scary, slightly mental hybrid pretending to be a post-rock band. It's jazz if saxophones were the coolest instruments in the world, if Jimi Hendrix had used his mouth instead of his spindly fingers, if 'Baker Street' was the greatest anthem ever recorded....

City Hall, Newcastle "We've been waiting for this tour to happen for 100 years," begins the Damned's Captain Sensible, explaining this inspired pairing of two of British rock's most venerable – and notorious – institutions. When they first met in a studio in the 1970s there was an almighty punch-up. "Not between us and them," the guitarist says. "But between Motörhead...
