I really enjoyed that. The guys look like they are having a blast as well.Quote:

I heard wee bits of it during a 5 minute report on the TV. I must admit I quite liked the bits I heard even though I'm normally not a fan at all of his solo stuff.Quote:

It was a horrific interview. Needs to stick to his day job. I had to switch it off. Cringe to the max.Quote:

Shameless self promotion but The Twilight Sad kindly donated some signed items to help raise funds for the Be More Ruby charity which helps raise funds and awareness for rhabdomyosarcoma after a friend lost their six year old daughter Ruby to the disease earlier this year. Put a wee raffle for the prizes up at https://raffall.com/168758/enter-raf...CSl0m4dntVFJkY.
Was going to do it as an eBay auction but realised that with money so tight for many, a raffle for a fiver a ticket was a far more fair way to do it whilst hopefully raising a whole load of money for the charity too.
Please delete if this isn't allowed but thought I'd promote the hell out of it.
Really enjoying The Avalanches recent album We Will Always Love You.
Lots of great collaborations
The KLF was made available some songs again after deleting their back catalogue nearly 30 years ago rumours we might see some new stuff.
Tim Minchin has released his first ever music album, Apart Together. As you'd expect from him, the words are intelligent, thoughtful and moving, and it's easy on the ear. I was close to tears listening to the title track, he paints such a sad but beautiful picture. Edinburgh gets a mention in another track too.
It's not groundbreaking musically although the tunes are very good, but it's well arranged and produced, and it's definitely an album I'll be listening to regularly.
We will always love you by The Avalanches is a beautiful album.
I'm currently giving this its second listen although I might not get through it all before zzzzzzzz.Quote:

Tonight I'm listening on headphones and the vibe is a bit different from that. It's still good, but maybe not as contemplative as I thought. (Maybe I should wait before saying that. Interstellar love has just come on and it's exactly what I thought yesterday!)
I came in from a walk this afternoon to find my 19 year old son looking for We go on after he heard me listening to it yesterday.Quote:

It's a good track. Possibly the most commercial on the album?Quote:

I am really loving the album. It has a strange emotional pull at times and quite evocative.Quote:

The space laser type sound effects on that track were nagging at my memory and reminded me of something I'd heard before. When I noticed it was Mick Jones, I realised that it was like a technique Big Audio Dynamite would use. Maybe it's a nod to E=MC2 or something.
Are you tracking my Interweb history HR :confused: :greengrin. I had a little search for “This is BAD” after listening to the track last week as it reminded me of them.Quote:

Sleaford Mods new album is fantastic. A real return to form.
Ah, excellent. It's been years since I'd listened to BAD so I wasn't sure I was making the right connection. Turns out we both were.Quote:

"Vana" by Ross Ainslie is doing it big-time for me just now.
Ross is a brilliant musician as well as a totally sound guy. Anything he's involved in is usually top notch.Quote:

I heard the title track "It's only Magic" on Radio 6 and that led me to the album.
I suggest you start the same way. It's a good barometer of the entire work. If you get on with that track, you're likely to enjoy the rest.
Been aware of him for years in various bands like Salsa Celtica. This is the first time I've bought any of his own albums, off the back of an exquisite set at Celtic Connections.Quote:

He's far too talented 😁
Thanks for that link.Quote:

Lovely album she’s going to be a huge star.
