🎶 🎵 Remember Labi Siffre?
I liked his stuff at the time, but never really kept track of him.
This podcast with Gary Kemp and Guy Pratt woke me up to everything this man is and stands for.
Well worth a listen.
🎶🎼🎵Dave Grohl calls Liam Gallagher “one of the last remaining rock stars”
I like Dave Grohl. I’m enjoying his new book. But that doesn’t mean to say I agree with him on everything.
This is one of those. Vehement disagreement.
1971 : 🚀 🧙♂️🎵
David Bowie’s Glam Masterpiece ‘Hunky Dory’ Turns 50
In his book Never A Dull Moment: 1971 The Year That Rock Exploded, British music journalist David Hepworth lays out a case for considering 1971 as the most consequential year (from beginning to end) in music.
… which reminded me of 1971 - The Year That 🎵🎼 Music Changed Everything - excellent series.
🎶 🎵 Revisiting 'Odessey and Oracle'
Revisiting Odessey and Oracle today after listening to the Rockentours talking to Colin Blunstone.
Great Songs.
🎶🎵 If you haven’t heard New Zealand’s Maori Metal band ‘Alien Weaponry’, you are missing out.
This video touches on my reasoning. I’m not a metal lover … but a sucker for musicians driven by a passion with a message.
The video tells the story behind one of their songs.
🎶🎵 The Helicopter Of The Holy Ghost is a great new album.
The back story of why it has taken 20 years for the songs to surface is mind wrenching. It stands unique - but closest ‘sound like it could be’ comp would be Blackfield.
🎵 May I introduce you to
Nick Beggs, Craig Blundell and Adam Holzman
AKA
‘Trifecta’
AKA
… the extraordinary musicians that are the ‘backing band to Steven Wilson’s ‘solo’ work.
Wonderful album.
I watched the first two seasons of Peaky Blinders a while back, Finally got round to Seasons 3 to 5 - not disappointed.
After such a binge - time to switch to something completely different.
Jack Irish!
“I thought you finished watching Peaky came the voice from the kitchen.”
I had - the two shows happened to choose the same Nick Cave song as it’s theme.
🎶🎵Mesmerising (links to video)
To remind - many of us have this capability sitting in our pocket - likely unused!
🎵🎶 Dream Theater has a new album coming out - launch track just dropped.
Stunning

… now this looks like a place I want to visit next time I’m in town.
🎵 In my mind - not surprising, but Apple is doing a great job with music;
- 1971
- McCartney 3, 2, 1
- Mark Ronson’s ‘Watch The Sound’
All really excellent.

Eclectic ?
Yes … but that’s what yesterday’s musical selection was meant be.
🎶 Scott Weiland and Robert Trujillo’s sons have formed a new band called Blu Weekend
I’m getting old … Scott Weiland’s son?
🎶 “Steve Howe, Alan White, Geoff Downes, Jon Davison and Billy Sherwood” … how many incarnations of Yes can you fit into one?
