Chasing the shade and applying Factor 50 in the wilting heat of this week’s rock and roll news turns the conversation to …   … Kneecap v the Prime Minister. … will any openly anti-Trump musician find it hard to tour the States? … the girl who’s listening to all 10,000 of her late father’s albums, one 60-second Instagram reel at a time. … a bottle of Snoop Dogg rosé, anyone?     … why Carol Kaye turned down the Hall Of Fame.   … Hollywood and “the genius of the system” v the current vogue for applauding individual genius.   … Lottie Golden, Laurie Styvers, Jeannie Piersol and our love for High Moon Records, the Virago of the record business.   … why self-sabotage is a British institution.   … Nick Cave Unisex Clogs? Pet Shop Boys chrome pepper-grinder? Brave new frontiers in pop merchandise.   … Genya Ravan’s I Won’t Sleep On The Wet Spot No More.   … Beau Dommage, Dragon’s Breath, Two Left Feet … Canadian band or voguish craft ale?   Also in the mix … Dawn French, Phoebe Snow, Humphrey Ocean, Alan Bennett and Bridget St John.
