Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

What are you listening to?

Under The Westway - possibly my favourite song ever. I see it as the curtain-closer at my funeral.

A Mike Nesmith tune. It has appeared in an episode of the Monkees. Here an early performance of Linda Ronstadt cover.

Such a smooth, powerful voice! ^ :)

Somehow, I've never heard this cover of 'Different Drum' by The Lemonheads.

Can't believe you missed that one Swits, it's a bit of a stormer! And the Monkees were pretty dumb to reject Different Drum too (hence Ronstadt got it).

Anyway more Nesmith, this time with the First National Band, he invented the Eagles before the Eagles, but the record company didn't want to know.

Better not stick around here too long as otherwise I'll start making outrageous claims like the Monkees were a better singles band than the Beatles...
