Brian’s Mixtape | Worldly

Eurovision Song Contest logo 2012

Dear readers, As you know, I am not generally the sort of owl to indulge in frivolities of a plebeian level. Television broadcasts such as The X Factor and Britain’s Got Talent only serve, in my opinion, to prove Britain’s…

Brian’s Mixtape #45: Brian’s Album Round-up 2010

It’s hardly news to FFS’s regular readers that Brian’s a pretty inconsistent character.  He flits about, willy-nilly, with little concern for the wellbeing of his mixtape devotees.  You might be relieved to hear that he’s turning over a new Horse…

Brian’s Mixtape #43: California

After a break for Coffee and Cake, Brian’s back on his musical tour of the U.S.A., this time touring around the great state of California.  Home to surfer bums, angels and oranges, California has more than its fair share of lovely…

Brian’s Mixtape #35: Leave the Animals Out of It

Following a delectable week of Joni Mitchell, Brian’s allowed his hippy side out of the oak tree for a pad around the forest floor.  Now, don’t get Brian wrong: he’s not about to give up his beloved dormouse suppers.  He…

Brian’s mixtape #34: We Love You Joni

Brian noticed Joni Mitchell’s recent comments about Bob Dylan and he thinks he’s worked it out. Poor Joni is sad because she’s not getting enough attention. And she really isn’t Bob, Neil Young and Johnny Cash get plaudits aplenty but…
