So, here’s a big crossword for you to get your teeth into over the festive break. I’ve put together a fun and (hopefully) challenging puzzle that will test your knowledge of the year in music and of the channel. All the answers will be in my videos somewhere, and you’ll probably be able to guessContinue reading “#37 – Fancy Winning a Year’s Membership of my YouTube Channel?”

#36 – Von Hertzen Brothers, The Garage 2 Dec 2024
As we roll inexorably into the festive season, thoughts naturally turn towards mince pies, Christmas parties, cheesy Xmas songs and overindulging in your tipple of choice. Last night, just one of these was in good supply, thankfully NOT the cheesy songs! As my brother and I worked our way through our third pint of aleContinue reading “#36 – Von Hertzen Brothers, The Garage 2 Dec 2024”
#35 – Goodbye Nicko
Iron Maiden… Well, this i did not expect to read today. 42 years of playing in the same band all over the world, no one can deny it’s been a long innings, and no one would say it’s a retirement not earned. A momentous day for Nicko, Iron Maiden and the fans. Statement from NickoContinue reading “#35 – Goodbye Nicko”
#29 – W/C 29th April 24 on Adventures In Music
Of course, the end of each month brings about the play through of Album off the Month, and in April, Opeth won out over Emerson Lake and Palmer. Some people were really not very happy about that! Blackwater Park, Opeth I also made what is now either very controversial or completely on the button, theContinue reading “#29 – W/C 29th April 24 on Adventures In Music”
#28 – Music News 28th April 2024
In the course of a normal week, I’m sent mail shots, press releases, marketing communications, promos and announcements from a variety of PR companies and record labels. The reality is I don’t have time or resources to make videos about everything because there’s a lot. But I also fear that some useful tidbits might beContinue reading “#28 – Music News 28th April 2024”

#26 – W/C 15th April 2024
Hello my fellow music adventurers. This has been a quieter week than usual on the channel due to me trying to resolve an online hacking of my Facebook account. I’ve sadly lost my original account and profile comprising 16 years of messages, photos, updates and friends. I’ve also lost the Astounding Sounds Amazing Music FacebookContinue reading “#26 – W/C 15th April 2024”

Here I am collecting together all of the full album play-through/reactions of Tool’s that I’ve done on my channel. I will also start doing the same with some of the other multi-album reactions.

On Thursday this week I got the chance to chat with Adam Holzman, American keyboard player, member of Steven Wilson’s band, collaborator with Nick Beggs and Craig Blundell for Trifecta and one time member of Miles Davis’ band. The interview was really a chance to talk about everything and anything with one of the progContinue reading “#20 – Adam Holzman”
#16 – Is Spotify Actually Evil?
It’s that time of year when everyone is flooding the internet with their Spotify Unwrapped lists and telling the world exactly what they’d ben listening to for the previous twelve months. As marketing campaigns go, it’s a doozie! Get everyone else to shout from the rooftops what Spotify has done for them. Every other socialContinue reading “#16 – Is Spotify Actually Evil?”
