I've collated some of the nice things people have said about Unsung Unsaid to put up on my website. Here they are, and if you've read the book but not left a review, please do. Good reviews sell books.
I think Ronnie O Sullivan just sneaked in a cheeky f word on post match BBC interview.
Last of my R1 1970 tapes. Over the bank holiday weekend I'll upload something a bit special. R1 stuff I was going to save till the summer but maybe they'll bring the warmth if I MP3 them sooner.

You'd have thought that getting a lift with Nick Drake would have got me a seat at the table at some point even if it was just a rickety tresel table at a village fete, but evidently not.
Two new R1 uploads from 1970. I keep finding them but this is the lot now honest. A Johnnie Walker show and Ed Stewart R1 Roadshow from December 16th. VHF quality. archive.org/details/@robs_…
When is this miserable cold cloudy weather EVER going to end???
This just popped up on something I'm uploading. 50 years fresh this spring of 74. Still epic. Get in the bin Freddie Mercury and Queen. youtube.com/watch?v=LR1EAF…
"I used to know all the hits. Now I no longer know all the hits. Say your sorry, the hits." Night folks.
If you didn't see it when it was on Disney + BBC2 are showing Dopesick from tonight. I cannot recommend it too highly. Utterly compelling docudrama from start to finish. I shall probably watch it again.
Now it's been on btw I don't think the 'surreal interlude' bits in HYGIY worked at all. An attempt to animate a Hipgnosis style cover no doubt, but cringy I thought, and the plummeting screaming down the slide into the empty swimming pool was in dubious taste.
From Disused Stations FB page. Southrey, between Lincoln Central and Firsby. Closed October 1970. "And every year on their anniversary Phoebe commemorated the train that never came".
Watching a bit of that WYWH doc. I miss Storm. Only got to know him towards the end. He wouldn't contribute to AVIH bcos it was all too painful. Still have all his e mails. "Why didn't anyone do more to help him?" he said in every one. He's Elvin in Unsung Unsaid. Essential cameo
Me - I have too many books. Stop buying books. Also me getting back from @LyallsTodmorden earlier.
Been slow to catch on to this but every Sat eve at 6pm R Veronica plays an hour of Nederbeat. Splendid Dutch pop in all its variations. Excellent show.
This morning I saw my first Swallow of the summer. In other news, Antony has just opened his Premier League account for the season.
If constantly choosing Antony over Amad is the hill Ten Hag wants to die on then fair enough, but at least take Antony with you to your next club Erik.
Really looking forward to this. Was at the launch full of the buzz of anticipation but it will be nice to just chill and press pause. And sigh.

@DennisBellDCAFC @rcscribbler All of what I said is extensively documented, not least by her songwriting credits. If you want to believe that there's some wicked masterminds behind the scenes secretly controlling what she does, you go right on believing that.
@rcscribbler Slightly gobsmacked at the situation, tbh. A topic (and adjacent to lots of other topics) that seems bob on for those sort of events.
@DennisBellDCAFC @rcscribbler Except she's not manufactured. She writes her own songs, produces or co-produces her albums, pretty much manages her own career and oversees her own tours.
The new doc on @TheSydBarrett Have You Got It Yet? Is superb. As a huge Syd/Floyd fan I am jaded with the same stories being told again and again but this one is refreshing and insightful with wonderful access thanks to Storm. Essential viewing
@rcscribbler Bought this very recently. Ronno is the absolute best.

@rcscribbler Agree. The rather upsetting section came at the end as the list of contributors who had died before it came out.
@rcscribbler Wow what a stunning photograph. Perhaps I need to get back on Facebook…
Yup. More muting and blocking of people I'd hitherto respected here (and on FB) these past 2-3 days because this is the hurdle at which they have all gladly or glumly (favour the latter) fallen.
I too have no strong opinion one way or t'other about T Swift but boy has she drawn out something truly depressing and reactionary about people on here I have notional respect for. The stench of faded newsprint nostalgia for the 80s/90s inkies has never been so palpable.
Really good show. And I read the source book too, which is different, but still as brutal.

@rcscribbler Yes. Great documentary, and you did your bit splendidly.
@rcscribbler Haha, that's jolted loose a loooong-buried teenage memory - cycling from Lincoln on a shimmering summer day to see the disused stations at Stixwold & Southrey (had a couple of mates who were into their railway history).
Rob speaks 💯 truth. It is brilliant with an excellent performance by Michael Keaton. I will also be watching it again
