I have the Jobim/Regina on CD but have never seen this video. Thank you for posting it. I find her voice extremely sexy, especially when she starts to lose it at around 3 minutes. I wish I knew what they were singing.

If Jesus Drove A Motorhome – Jim White

Go upstairs at St. Luke`s and you can get a seat or a balcony that you can lean on. There is a bar upstairs too. Sometimes they don’t open the upstairs, I think it depends on crowd size, but this has only h […]

Pretty sure I saw Simple Minds there for New Gold Dream tour. Then at the Barrowlands for Sparkle in the Rain. Tiffany’s became Zanzibar’s at some point (1984?) but I think that was only as a disco, not a music venue.

1. First Concert – Depeche Mode @ Tiffany’s, Glasgow. 1981? 2. Last Concert – Bonnie Raitt, Glasgow Royal Concert Hall 3. Worst Concert – Marcus King, Barrowlands. His current album has a lovely soulful […]

Chuck Prophet for me too. I took a chance on Night Surfer (2014) after a Mojo review that piqued my interest. Have accumulated all his solo CDs since (new and used). Always go to see him when he visits Glasgow […]

Yeah. Smile was my gateway to The Jayhawks. This and Rainy Day Music are my favourites. Good call on A Break In The Clouds. Absolutely sublime.

Branford Marsalis. Excuse the crap video.

1980s – Jim Kerr / Bruce Willis (when all 3 of us still had hair) 2000s – Harry Hill (when I wore a white shirt & glasses. Hair gone) Now – Uncle Fester (total slap head)

The Very Best Of The Byrds I went on to buy the original albums but really only need this. Roxy Music Greatest Hits (1977 version) My gateway to early Roxy. All albums subsequently bought & essential.

Idlewild was no. 11 on my list.

Off the top of my head & not in any order – Imperial Bedroom Avalon New Gold Dream Architecture and Morality Rattlesnakes High Land Hard Rain Poetic Champions Compose Copperhead Road Lyle Lovett & His […]

I’ve just bought Bonnie Raitt in June to add to the list.

Lyle Lovett @ Celtic Connections – Glasgow Royal Concert Hall – January Nick Lowe & Los Straightjackets – Glasgow Pavilion – February Chuck Prophet – St. Luke’s, Glasgow – February

His “latest” album (A Time To Love from 2005) is rather good IMHO. It’ll never match the imperial period, but what will? The lead single off of it, So What The Fuss, is a favourite of mine. The ballads don’t […]

Only one from me: Bryan Ferry – Retrospective: Selected Recordings 1973-2023 Fully deserving his 10 points.

I was just about to comment on the lack of The Simpsons. Is it being airbrushed out because of the fall off in quality? The original (12, 13, 14?) seasons are consistently brilliant IMHO.
