🎶🎵 As a 60s ‘pop song’, 🔗 Simon Dupree and the Big Sound’s Kites has always had a place in my heart.
As a progressive band, 🔗 Gentle Giant sits in my personal pantheon of musical influence.
Just discovered today that the latter were essentially the same band as the former. 🤯
🎶 🎵 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.
🎶🎵From You Know Where.
🎶🎼🎵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.
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.
🎶🎵 At least the music for 2021 is panning out well ..
🎵 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.
