Just spotted there’s no decent Jim O’Rourke eg Eureka, The Visitor, Halfway to a Threeway. Loads of his unlistenable free form techy shit is there for some reason.

Septober Energy – Keith Tippetts Centipede band
Autumn Grass – Continuum (nothing at all by that underrated Prog band)
Dive Deep – Quintessence (Colin?)

Losing a dog is devastating- I’m sure people will say it’s the same with other pets but dogs are very special.

Lovely stuff Arthur. Redolent of Mike Oldfield but not in a copyist way. Very enjoyable

This solo is remarkable – stops me in my tracks every time I hear it

If you go with Ackerman in the list it surely has to be AQQA from Focus 3 – which Ive said many times on this site is possibly the greatest ‘rock’ guitar solo of all time. Ill temper that outrageous comment by […]

One of the best solos in last 25 years

Ive gone for this as well – love the books and The Delines were one of my 2020 discoveries. Bargain.

I never tire of hearing the title track – it’s such a stunning song played perfectly. It sounds timeless. On the Border and Flying Sorcery are also magical.

Even allowing for the mindless gogglebox mentality of the great unwashed I find this number literally quite unbelievable. Assuming we sleep for a 1/3rd of each day then spend another 1/3rd watching TV ??

This one – trumps the Todd original by a country mile. One of my favourite vocal performances and gets me every time.

I also found this on my FB page this morning. What a superb vs of one of my favourite Dan tunes

A while ago I started a playlist of spooky folk based music – you know the kind of thing that might have appeared in films like the Wicker Man. This is where it got to so if you have any further suggestions let me know

I’d also include Stranded from Magic Time.

My first car was a knackered old Beetle which cost me £70. It slightly tilted to one side following an altercation with a taxi (pre my ownership I hasten to add). There was no lining so effectively a tin can and […]

One of those people (like Harvey funnily enough) that I feel I ought to like but …
Whenever his songs pop up in the background of some moody Beeb drama I think yes that sounds great but have struggled to find […]

To paraphrase the Miles/Kind of Blue quote – Hunky Dory is the Bowie album for people why’s don’t like Bowie. I can’t imagine anyone who likes pop/rock music not enjoying at least some of these songs.

It’ […]

All members of the weasel family are tough sons of bitches. Thats why the horrendous ‘sport’ of badger baiting normally involved incapacitating the badger first or it would rip the shit out of any dog that got […]

Brilliant recommendation Kid. Never heard of her before but now my favourite album of the moment.

I’ve always claimed it was Deep Purple , Sheffield City Hall c 71/72. Actually maybe the support band Bullitt were worse as they both very loud and very bad. Thing was back then the actual loudness was e […]
