Just finished:
The Seven Deaths Of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton having also recently read his The Devil And The Dark Water. Turton does like a dense plot that keeps you guessing throughout.

Hi Carolina. I hope your Easy Listening selection includes this pot-scrubbing classic from “The Velvet Fog”. Continued good health.

The Crazy World of Arthur Brownsville Station

Sad news. Always my favourite reggae artist. This is my track choice.

Will watch US Open Tennis Women’s Final tonight – Osaka vs Azarenka. Looks like being a cracker.

OK, if you insist… Lucinda Williams.

I listened to Diane Setterfield’s Once Upon A River on Audible. A superbly conceived tale brilliantly read by Juliet Stevenson.

I have total empathy for your A.O.B.

You can add Dinner At The Deviant’s Palace to the list but, for me, The Anubis Gates is the essential Tim Powers read.

I was lucky to have seen him twice with John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers. First time in a pub, then at the Marquee. McVie was with him both times but Mayall’s revolving drum stool featured Ainsley Dunbar then Keef […]

It would only be the Dave Clark Two unfortunately.

Apologies to A Girl Called Eddy but it’s way too soon for this poll. She’ll probably have to be content with being my album of the year.

1 – Seventh Tree – Goldfrapp

Tom Waits… In a field? In DAYLIGHT???!!

Fantastic stuff! I have a large number of these tracks but putting them together like this… not a duffer to be found. I See The Light by Simon Dupre & The Big Sound is one of my favourite 60’s tracks but am I […]

I think the most interesting statistic from this whole exercise is that 98 Afterworders recommended 499 different albums from the 1980s/90s. Who’da thunk it? Cheers @craig42blue.
