Two gems there, Mike! What a beautiful instrument the steel guitar can be.
By way of complete contrast, here’s Arvo Pärt’s Tabula Rasa. 30 minutes long and a quite stunning piece of music. None more […]

That looks very promising, Steerpike.
Lovely evening here is Stockholm so I’m taking us back in time now to 1983 and Virginia Astley’s Pastoral English Ambient album : From Gardens where we feel secure. A gem!

I’ll confess, Slug, that if my teenage self could see me here today, gushing enthusiastically about Karen C, he would be plunged into despair.
I guess takes a while to appreciate some things.

I love Radka Toneff’s version of The Moon’s a Cruel Mistress.
But Charlie and Pat’s, from their album Under a Missouri Sky, is lovely too. What an amazingly unhip audience! German TV never ceases to delight […]

It’s definitely the people that I’ve got to “know” that keep me coming back.
Charming, witty and elegant: and you know such amazing stuff.
And let’s nor forget how, on those occasions when one of us has a […]

GCU did create the album cover for my ECM Beach Party mixtape.

I don’t think you will get many complaints, Bamber. That Petra is a talented lass.
I was looking for some pedal steel and came across this delightful oddity from the KLF of all people.

It was my Stockholm pal, @DuCo01, who recommended the Word magazine to me fairly early on its history. I became a keen reader and had a subscription for several years.
For some reason I never visited the Word […]

Bubblegum???
This is pop music at its most sublime.
Back in the 70s I was too busy progging and then suddenly pogoing to realise this.
I am an older, wiser man now.

I completely agree, @Twang.
Threads like this is what the AW is all about: knowledgeable, enthusiastic music, whisky, film, poetry and fiction lovers sharing stuff they like. That’s why I keep coming back.

Incidentally the comments on this track are a great read. […]

We’ve had some wonderful things today but that really was something else.
I notice that the koto is played by Karin Nakagawa who made an album with Lena Wiilemark which @Locusr rather liked.
Very logically, […]

I was very surprised to read that Hitler appeared as a character in the Beano during WW2.
I was even more surprised that Price Charles and Camilla made an appearance in a Bash Street strip.
