I have a fairly big Spotify playlist of cherrypicked tracks that I take immense pleasure from playing on shuffle.  In the last twenty minutes it's swung from Ace Frehley, All Saints, Fighting With Wire, The Buble, Scott Bradlee's Postmodern Jukebox.

A great Marley track, nice Bassline

I'm listening to our own stuff, something I rarely do, we said goodbye to our guitarist and more importantly friend yesterday, he passed away from covid on January 23rd.

A recent discovery. Cammie Gilbert's vocals are what make this different for me...

Whenever a song comes on in a book, I like to play it while I'm reading - helps create what the hip kids call an immersive experience.

Sometimes it's a corker 

Good idea... when I read the book "The Rotters' Club" by Jonathon Coe it made it was set in 1970's and made a few references to the band "Hatfield and the North".

So I checked out HATN.... and discovered that the second album was called "The Rotters Club". I do like it when a book links to music.

Unfortunately on this occasion I did not become a lifelong fan of the band ☹️.

On Edit - I mean did not become a fan of HATN (not stewblacks track).... but they were OK.

One of the first records I ever bought. Think I was 4 years old and it was 99p in Our Price records. The 45 is probably still at my mums.

i was looking for an Annie Lennox live performance on UK TV that  blew me away but I can't find it - she had a long black leather coat on - it was a live acoustic with Dave Stewart presumably as Eurythmics - no idea what the song was but 87 seems to be the year a lot of videos feature that coat (it's not some coat fetish thing either!) - gave up looking for what i remember but had to have a look at the rehearsal and the live performance she did with Bowie (Under Pressure) for the Freddie Mercury tribute concert - she was a lot more committed in the rehearsal than Bowie but when you see the actual live performance both of them really bring their A-games - she had a great voice.

Steven Wilson today.

Can't really say that I'm a fan generally and I look on his output as being akin to early TVRs; just because you have great gear/production/musicians etc. this does not necessarily make for great music.  It's a bit like Weezer, they're everything I should like in a band, but I find them really hard to listen to.  I read someone saying Steven Wilson is akin to the UK's Trent Reznor.  Err, no.  That said, I love what he achieved with the Tears For Fears and XTC 5.1/surround releases.  Maybe I'm just getting a bit too long in the teeth to be able to listen, absorb, rememember all the notes.

Anyhow, blame my wife.  She watched the £10,000 album unboxing, then I caught her listening to the Albert Hall gig off Spotify.  I got a 5.1 copy of The Future Bites and it's kind of splendid event listening, but nothing really sank in.  Anyhow, here we go...
