God said to Abraham, “kill me a son”…..

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.

I use Plex media server which I stream using Chromecast audio. I use Plex client on my phone to control it. All free except for Chromecast dongle.

What a great service. Grabbed the Memphis Soul book. Much thanks.

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”.

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:

On the Music front:
I’ve always kept a Unicorn – Biography of Sandy Denny – by Mick Haughton – probably the saddest book I ever read.

Chronicles – By Bob Dylan – Prose as poetry – beware – Bono […]

Klaxon much appreciated.
He is playing in the Olympia(best venue in Dublin) Oct 27th. Tickets on sale on Friday.
The Boptist is bopping.
Yippee.

Thanks Mike, that is a very good point.

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.

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.

Yes it is a tricky one.A great challenge. who even knows what technology will be current. I know what dai is saying…. but I like the idea of the message in a bottle type thing.
I just hope he has better music […]

I am a music snob.
But this is not snobbery.
A fact is a fact…..well maybe not in this post factual world of Trump….
