I went to school in the 1970s and we weren't taught it. If you think it's so important why haven't you taught her it? You numptie.

Not a fan of Led Zeppelin, but Stairway to Heaven was on the radio earlier when I was driving home and I have to admit it's an even bigger pile of shite than I thought.

I'd give you an ovation. Except that the original meaning of ovation in English was “a ceremony attending the entering of Rome by a general who had won a victory of less importance than that for which a triumph was granted,” So I won't.

I look forward to the tribute to Mark E Smith at the Brit Awards, featuring Jess Glynne, Ed Sheeran, Rag and Bone Man, One of the Guys out of One Direction Who Isn't Harry Styles and Gareth Malone's Choir. Maybe Gary Barlow could sing Pay Your Rates. With James Corden on bongos.

Well I wandered into town and took a look in the two shops participating in RSD and decided against paying stupid prices for albums I didn't know I didn't want. Then I went into HMV and found Surrender by Suicide for £9.99, so I bought that. Is that how it's supposed to work?

I first heard Big Black in 1986 when Peel played Kerosene and my jingly-jangly 16-year-old mind was blown. Albini's various incarnations have been part of my musical life for 38 years and will be for however many years I've got left. RIP Steve.

Day 2 and here's the other nine albums that very possibly influenced my taste in music, a selection that I've picked hastily from my shelves so that I don't have to bother with the full 10 days.

How do these footballers manage to get so many tattoos with their amazingly low pain thresholds? I'd be surprised if they could stand the trauma of one of those transfers you used to get in bubblegum.

On Fire by Galaxie 500.
Just saw this was released on this day 30 years ago. It's been a constant in my life since then. Very possibly my favourite album - even in spite of the saxophone on Decomposing Trees.

Anyway I finally got him to somewhere he recognised near his house and he insisted I'd been enough help. So, David, I hope you got back okay. And then I went back, found the leads and drove home feeling like that d done my good deed for the decade.
