I love music. I love spending time listening to dear old favourites – Hendrix, Otis, Monk, Miles, The Ramones – and I also love hearing new music – “new” meaning “new to me”, so that covers Furry Lewis and Chappell Roan and Thundercat and and and ….

Sometimes the new music is a bit “Meh”, other times it is a brand new joyful thing – Fiona Apple!! Mulatu Astatke!! Emahoy Tsegue Mariam Guebru!!!!

During lockdown, as I was working from home I had time to listen to a new album every day, and this site popped up as a recommendation (most likely from here) – https://1001albumsgenerator.com/elhombremalo/history

I am now 25% of the way through my journey, and it has been entertaining, albeit with some pish on the way. If anyone is wondering how to get a feed for music that they have missed out on, this is worth doing. It’s free, and it will recommend one album a day from the book. It’s up to you if you make time every day to do it. I have enjoyed most, been challenged by some and been contemptuous of others.
