50 years of Nuggets, Ian Brown’s karaoke and is there a band name worse than Jealous Nostril?

Things given a grilling this week in hot pursuit of revelation and entertainment …

.. would YOU pay £45 to see Ian Brown and some backing tracks?

… the life of the late Joe Bussard, collector of 25,000 78s “who partied like it was 1929”. Joe thought real jazz ended in 1933 and the last great country record was Jimmy Murphy’s I’m Looking For A Mustard Patch. We love this man.

... career-shrinking band names.

… Chunkz, Pieface and the Beast: new adventures in stadium-filling entertainment.

… is Nuggets the most famous and influential compilation ever released?

… best albums of cover versions – among them Moondog Matinee, the Seeger Sessions, Irish Heartbeat, McCartney’s Back In The USSR, Pin-Ups, These Foolish Things.

… Paul Scholes meets Gary Neville.

… rock stars separated by a single letter.

… and more songs about seagulls and chips.  

A short film about Joe Bussard here …
