Apologies for the delay in getting round to writing about this one - we hoped to have something up on Sunday on the subject, but a nightmare of a weekend took us briefly off the air. Anyway, Danny Rampling did something highly unusual a few…
A prerequisite these days of being a British Tory MP is a complete inability to be able to see themselves and to defend literally anything that the leadership does, no matter how monumentally stupid it might be. And whilst other eyes might well have been…
One person who probably breathed a sigh of relief when this site announced we were going for a break a few months ago was Danny Rampling, 60, from London. The occasional okay-ish DJ and human equivalent of the vuvuzela has spent the past two years…
For a while there, I was beginning to come to the conclusion that having a go at Nervous Records and their boss Michael Weiss is a little bit like spanking a man in a gimp suit. You’re ultimately using your own time and energy to…
There's always one, isn't there? I'm sure you've probably come across one of these in life, dear reader. The sort of person who constantly claims not to care about the opinions of others - generally speaking, they're lying to try and conceal some kind of…

This blog is sometimes accused of not being very kind to the dance music press. And by and large, this charge is correct. I think many of them are largely staffed by middle-class types who failed their lifestyle magazine exam. Many of them also fail…
It was the US President Franklin Roosevelt’s secretary of state Cordell Hull who said "A lie will gallop halfway round the world before the truth has time to pull its breeches on". He was referencing the fact whoever gets their side of a story out…
As someone who runs a blog with an average of five posts per weekday - slightly less on weekends - I do understand the pressure that people are under to keep the fresh content coming in. And whilst most days aren't a problem for me,…
