It breaks my heart to hear that the legendary Sylvester Stewart, better known as Sly Stone, is living out of a caravan in Los Angeles.
Sly – in the unlikely event that you read this – my spare room is yours any time, in the unlikely event that you fancy Eltham in south east London in preference to LA.
After a 30-year recording hiatus, Sly Stone’s much-anticipated new album really couldn’t be more disappointing. With the notable exception of Plain Jane, which is superheavy, I’m Back! Family and Friends is an embarrassing re-hash of classic songs that it is sacrilegious to rerecord.

The Pickmaster Plectrum Punch is an ingenious device that creates guitar picks from plastic or cardboard. If only somebody could design a similar device that creates usable saxophone reeds, I’d be a happy man indeed.
I can’t stop listening to Chic, whether it’s their own material or the sublime offerings produced by The Chic Organization. Good Times indeed, for all The Family!
