Lovely old chat last night – no beer but at least I feel virtuous today. Loads of music, books etc that I should have mentioned but thats the curse of the digital world (plus my failing faculties).

Ive just spent the last half hour reading about how to change a duvet. Oddly I found it interesting so contra to the point of this thread. However I’m also watching BBC breakfast………

This looks really interesting – I’m going to listen without reading the notes. My first playlist for forthcoming hols.

As a pensions manager you can imagine how my eyes lit up when I saw ‘Boring Thread’ and then utter bliss when there was a full, and dare I say , very accurate description of defined benefit vs final salary. Sad […]

I just had to check if it’s on Spotty – it is and then suddenly I pressed play.
I realise I’ve let both myself and my family down. I’m just going out now and may be some time …..

You don’t need to apologise for going to see a bona fide ‘legend’ @SteveT. Mrs Feedback was there and loved it and from the clips she sent me on her phone the Voice was in fine fettle.

I’d take TLF or Simply Red (perm any other lightweight MOR bands from that period) over much of the equivalent Ezra / Sheeran / Savoretti / Tom Walker / Sam fucking Smith equivalents any old day.

One day the magic will work. As ever music weaves it’s mysery in odd ways – but turgid arrangements ?? I don’t know of a more adventurous sounding album to have appeared under the guise of rock music. I will fin […]

So just to show that you can teach an old dog etc. Have just been listening to the Vampire Weekend album Father of the Bride. Well knock me down with a feather duster but it’s really really good. I just i […]

Sounds like Twangs perfect album ! Never quite ‘got’ PH (apart from the magisterial Salty Dog and the ubiquitous WSOP)

Sounds fascinating- will look out for it.

I was asked yesterday to put some songs onto a cd for a friends Dad’s funeral. This was one of them and I was immediately filling up – God help me on the day. Brings back memories of cosy nights at home when I […]

So I’m the leader and main songwriter for an eclectic, acoustic based outfit. Well under the radar and likely never to trouble the mainstream ….oh hang on that’s The Feedback File …

Very enjoyable listen – uncannily Dan like performances. You can see why some of these didn’t make the cut though as many of them simply aren’t up to scratch. Best ‘song’ Is Sun Mountain which is a beaut.

Agree with @Anton about the new National album. Ive probably played that as much as any new album this year but I don’t think of them as a particular favourite of mine – not quite sure why that is.

@Neela – Im not sure tbh – I loved the Ghost on Ghost album and this one but have not been hugely impressed by his other stuff. He has a fabulous voice though. Mind you Joey Burns and John Convertino must be one […]

Here’s a track (from Years to Burn not the R6 list !)

Very good chat chaps – some nicely considered views and theories. Off the back of this I will go back and re-listen to Magic and The Rising. Oh and on technical point I did not mention Bacharach re the new album […]

Not bothered about the re-releases just wanted to say I love Sprout Music. There I’ve said it !
