Calling Lodey!

It is album of the year, I agree
I suggest checking out Son Little‘s new album, ‘aloha‘. If nothing else, he eschews capital letters with same care-free abandon that Hattie Jacques reserved for diets. Were I arsed to write a reveiew I would fill in the “Might suit people who like…” bit with “Michael Kiwanuka“. My album of the year, probably.
Agreed! I’ve been amazed to see so little mention of this record anywhere – glad it’s not just me that thinks it’s a belter. Not my album of the year but certainly on my longlist.
Cool! Wanders off to book a slot at the Eel Market…
Am I going to have to listen to this AGAIN to try to see what the fuss is about? 3 more listens and I will be up to the Tigger 6 benchmark.
I have applied my razor-sharp critical faculties to that clip…the verdict: quite nice.
I’ll have another go too. As I remember I didn’t hear any tunes, but there was one which sounded a bit like London Grammar which I quite liked.
OK, I’ve played it twice consecutively this morning and it’s better and catchier than I remembered. I don’t know about Album of the Year, but it’s certainly a lovely soundtrack to a grey day wfh.
Something wrong with my browser, it is directing me to a Taylor Swift link not to a performance by Bruce and the band.
You want to update that browser, sounds like you’ve got a version from 1986 😉
Oh hang on, it’s working now:
I’d stick with the 1986 version
I’ve never heard a single second of the album and won’t be bothering to do so.
Too much good music to listen to.
That’s the kind of open-mindedness we need on here! Completely accept Taylor isn’t everybody’s cup of tea and as we always say it’s IMHO in here but really – “too much good music to listen to”?
You would never hear me dismissing/dissing heavy metal or Prog or that dreadful little gnome who released the worst record ever made.. no sirree.
Leave Jamie Cullum aloooooone!
I was going to say “open-mindedness” and Lodey aren`t exactly bosom buddies until you revealed your love of Prog.
Me and Open-Mindedness are best buddies I’ll have you know. I love Prog me, especially when the previously castrated lead-singer falls into a vat of burning oil whilst the oblivious lead-guitarist embarks on a blistering, soul-searching solo which only ends three years later atop a pyramid in Gaza.
Giza you mean.
If he was anywhere near Gaza his solo would be ended by a missile.
I could use the auto-correct excuse or I could tell the truth – the solo went on so long they built a pyramid in its honour
I’m thinking of buying the Taylor Swift album for my wife for Christmas, will she like it?
I asked the Magic 8 Ball, online [it’s a real thing. check it out] and it said ‘It Is Certain’
Watched the first fifteen minutes of the video this afternoon (another hectic day in The Languedoc) and so far it’s Ace in a Bucket!
It’s wonderful, isn’t it?
Honestly, it’s more than wonderful. It’s absolutely magnificent! I loved the Brooce doc, so similar – let’s all go to our place in the country- but this is better in spades and buckets and…
That version of ‘exile’….sooooo intense.
I’ve ordered it.
I hear this when I see the thread title.
We are restricting ourselves to three tracks a night. This is simply stupendous stuff, makes them Beatles look like amateurs.
