Thanks Arthur. Alas, 1 drummer only. Mind you something in the uke line that could be hung on a wall.

Hi Crisf that is a very good idea. I was sort of thinking along those lines myself

Dear fellow Afterworders I need your advice.
An old friend of mine is finally getting hitched. His lady has decided to make an honest man of him.
Now, they are music people and I am looking for suggestions as […]

Great series. Ticked lots of boxes for me.
Must rewatch it.
I wonder are there any plans to film Phillip Kerr’s Bernie Gunther series.
Same sort of vibe.

I bought Arise on the strength of her performance on Later….
Really like her mix of reggae and jazz.
She also has a great voice.

Hi Colin. Agree about “Blue of the night”. Great late night programming. “Mystery Train” was my portal to new music before the internet as was John’s previous show on TodayFM “The eclectic ballroom”.

What does it sound like?:
Music…..Bjork to Bach……via BB King, Ben Webster……possibly even the Beatles……if you like your listening to be challenging.

The Dan were way too cool for school.
Terrific post.
They were (I presume to use were now) unique on that side of the ocean for dealing in irony.

Lovely tribute from Richard Williams to Walt and the music of the Dan:

Italy for me.
What’s not to love…..
The countryside, the food, the wine, the weather, the history, the art, even the opera, the beautiful women, the men – mad as Irishmen but in an Italian way.
Mind you I […]

Slightly off topic…call me an old whatever……what really does me in is when someone in real-life or indeed on TV states something as a fact when it is patently incorrect…….in particular when it relates to […]

On the Music front:

Thanks Mike, that is a very good point.
ger_the_boptist commented on the post, A playlist for the future 2 years, 7 months ago

Thanks for all the advice……my current view is that I will use the voyager playlist as a starting point and take it from there. To future proof it I will do both a CD and a USB version.
ger_the_boptist commented on the post, A playlist for the future 2 years, 7 months ago

Ah – I agree with vinyl – only one small problem – a vinyl “mixtape” could prove difficult. Mind you I could ask jack White for the use of his vinyl pressing gizmo.
