I know I've got him blocked, but he's shilling for fascists again, isn't he?

There's 17 other jazz musicians in my DDP list. I did think of adding Quincy Jones to it, too.

And the line about there not being any snow in Africa must have rankled the owners of the ski resorts of the Atlas mountains.

There's a Swedish jazz revivalist trumpeter named Bent Persson.

Lou Donaldson is a unique pick for my jazz DDP theme team. I mulled over picking him as I had doubts that he'd get a QO - he did release an album entitled 'Forgotten Man' after all!

Last night I dreamt that a certain celebrity nonce was shot dead whilst dining at a pavement café in central London by the father of one of their victims. Now, do I put them on my DDP short list for next year? There's just one problem - they're currently in jail, and there's little chance of them being free before the end of next year.

FFS! Just block the wazzock!

He was also responsible for comissioning recordings of obscure classical music works, via the Dead's charitable Rex Foundation. This article., written in 1991, explains this: https://slippedisc.com/2015/10/how-the-grateful-dead-backed-little-known-british-composers/

He's "occy" from Digital Spy, isn't he?

Nurse! Nurse! He's posting politics again!

He composed a high number of symphonies - over 370 at the last count - of which only around a dozen have been recorded so far.

Suprised no-one has said "Oh, that's a bad miss!" concerning Clive Everton!

Road Race, not Time Trial, as that was Tuesday. Report in English from Cycling Weekly.

I gather Daily Express editor Gary Jones stood down this week after a tenure of about six years. Does this point to problems at the rag?

Unfortunately the Reginald Molehusband one is lost. I've a vague recollection of seeing it when very young.

We only had a landline at home because my dad needed it for his job - our house was tied to his then workplace.

FFS! Just block the cretin!

Whilst Harrison Ford appears on it twice - there was a silent era actor with the same name.

Sounds like a rip-off of Marmalade's "Reflections In My Life" - did they sue?

Danielle Moore of Crazy P, dead suddenly at 52. https://mixmag.net/read/crazy-p-frontwoman-danielle-moore-died-aged-52-

They also had to pull "Step Out" off their second album just prior to release as it was too close to Stevie Wonder's "Uptight (Everything's Alright)". I'm not sure if any albums had been pressed by then - if so it would have cost them a considerable sum. Plus, when that album did come out, there was a Tuesday evening music show on our local radio station, presented by their football commentator when there were no Tuesday evening matches. One week he had an Oasis special, which just consisted of all the tracks that they'd ripped off to that point. I caught some of their set at Glastonbury 2004 - they were shite! And they attacted a lot of drugged-up scallies, but as they played the Friday evening, many of them were gone by the following lunchtime.

Stephen Chamberlain is dead now, according to a paywalled article at ft.com.

And Stephen Chamberlain, his co-defendent in the recent trial, is on life support after being hit by a car on Saturday. https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/mike-lynchs-co-defendant-life-33497008

Martin Phillipps, only constant member of Dunedin band The Chills, dead at 61. https://www.odt.co.nz/star-news/star-national/chills-martin-phillipps-dead-61

The same thing happened to me a few years ago - I had just played a jazz album featuring saxophonist Lee Könitz, so headed to his Wikipedia page to find some backround infomation on how the session came about, only to discover he had died that day.
