JERRY SADOWITZ ~ Gobshite LP (1987)Legendary Scottish Stand-up comedian/magician's album which was swiftly withdrawn due to some dodgy and libellous jokes about Jimmy Saville being a paedophile. Great stuff!
Just got Twin Peaks season 1 box set for fifteen quid. First time I've watched it since it was first broadcast and its just as good as I remember. As far as I'm aware its never been aired since - truly neglected.
I'd not heard or seen much of Sadowitz in the last few years
We all love The Beach Boys, I think we can take that as a given. And of course, going deeper, we all worship Brian Wilson as the great addled genius behind them. But how many of us give his brother Dennis the credit he's due?This festive period I've been digging Dennis.QuoteThat Dennis was the second-best songwriter in the Beach Boys was amazing, as was the band's failure to appreciate him as such. Bursting with creativity, this album is the result of years of songwriting, only a small trickle of which wound up on Beach Boys records. An absolute classic, and so much better than anything the Boys did in the 70s up 'til this point (with the exception of "Sunflower," which is another Dennis showcase).

Now I don't like to crow [much] but this has just won reissue of the year in just about every single music mag. Check it out if you haven't already...
