I can't even pretend that I have been following music this year. One of the drawbacks of choice is I find myself listening to the same customized list or specialty stations and so miss out on hearing what's going on. I think I've always considered hearing new pop music as a little bit like listening to the top-of-the-hour-type headlines on radio and TV: It's important to listen to largely because it...

The really cool thing about the new record from the legendary Glen Campbell is that he sounds as good now as he did when he rocked the '67-'75 years. To cop a line from The Beasties, back in the day Campbell "had more hits than Sadaharu Oh." On Meet Glen Campbell, he's in strong voice and chose some great songs to cover originally written and performed by Jackson...

Wandering around the BBC website, I stumbled across an on-line recording of Glen Campbell's recent concert in London. Link if a passing reader happens to be a fan of his. I was a lukewarm fan, back in the day, but my fanship really only extended to his versions of Jimmy Webb songs: "Wichita Lineman", "Galveston", "By the Time I Get to Phoenix", and a couple of others. Without these songs,...

"Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It)” doesn’t really have verses or even a chorus, it’s all-hook, moving from one high-energy Beyonce shout to another, never really letting up. The titular hook’s rushed through in the same double-time as that keyboard line on-speed and Jake Nava’s video similarly starts and doesn’t stop. It's all performance on basically no set at all, Beyonce kinda lip-syncs, instead...

Glen Campbell was a jolly cove, attempting surreal one-liners, flattering the audience and delivering the hits with professional good grace.

And so to the Festival Hall to see Glen Campbell - yes, again . This time though, it was for the full monty show of loads of tracks from the new album, and a workout of all the ones you wanted to hear , and one or two that you probably didn't - a pretty fine hit rate for any gig I think, unlike when I went to see Bruce Springsteen in Crystal Palace after The Rising came out, and I hadn't...
