Another Double Header
Double action again this month. In preparation for my talk in January, read a short piece about the music of the Carry On films and the genius of Eric Rogers in MediaMagazine 54, as well as plenty more fascinating media studies stuff. Then head over to Shindig! Issue 52 for my thoughts on a Delia Derbyshire single, an Acid Jazz compilation and the bucolic Vic Mars, as well as the usual fun in Vinyl Art (This month; mountain ranges, marsupials...). Elsewhere we're giving out gongs, there's the Zombies and a lovely bit of the Bonzos. Woof!

Carry On!
In January I'll be giving a talk titled 'Eric Rogers and the Legacy of Light Music' at King's Lynn Community Cinema Club. Expect plenty of clips from the Carry On movies!

Bye Bye This Is My Jam
Even though I only stumbled upon it last year, I'm really sad to see the demise of This Is My Jam. Here's a Spotify playlist of ALL my jams in commiseration.

Mags This Month
I love to contribute to MediaMagazine when I can, I've been a friend and fan of the magazine since way back and it's a great resource for students. So I'm pleased to be in the current issue with a piece about streaming music services. I'm also in the new Shindig! Magazine, another publication that's close to my heart, for the big anniversary issue 50. I've got a bunch of reviews including Buried Treasure's great barn find The Vendetta Tapes by John Baker and the new one by Linda Hoyle. I've penned a slightly unusual Vinyl Art this month, and to cap it all off a couple of my album choices made it into the special anniversary issue top 50. Which ones you say? That would be telling!
