They’re rather good, especially if you like your Celtic punk seasoned with left-wing politics.

The HHGTTG again.
Maybe in these Covid times, sending all the telephone desanitisers off on the B Ark wasn't such a great idea

Love and Rockets - their "not actually Love and Rockets" ambient stuff.
Neither their nor my usual stuff.

Ooh. Interested in that. Anywhere you’d suggest to start listening, if I dipped in on Spotify / whatever?

I'm on my 4th Anouar Brahem album in a row. It's that sort of evening. ICBA to do anything much.

I had Southern Rock Opera on the other day. I have tickets for DBT in Leeds which has been postponed until some time next year

I'm not on Spotify. I got "Lift" of the bay as it isn't readily available on the usual sites and am listening to "hot trip to heaven" on youtube. It sounds (to me) like they are trying to channel Tom Waits on "hot trip to heaven" (the track not the album).
If you pm me I can post you "Lift".

I found lift on YouTube, and rather liking it so far - though it probably counts as my usual stuff

Thanks though.

Well, the offer on "lift" is still open.

Bought the new Bruce Springsteen album, Letter to You. Quite good. Better than a lot of his more recent solo stuff imho, I was glad to see the return of the E Street Band.

Tracy Chapman's first album, yet again, mainly for one of the finest love songs ever written. I can be really soppy at times.

I heard Fast Car on the radio the other day, first time in a long time, and it made me want to dig out the album. It’s a really fine piece of work and has stood the test of time very well.

Emily Cappell's latest(?) album, Combat Frock.

I first heard her supporting Terry and Gerry and the Hundred Club in the days when we could go to gigs. A bee hive sporting, guitar toting bundle of fantastic lyrics and attitude.

From some website somewhere:

Quote

Emily Capell is a singer/songwriter from North West London and has been affectionately described as the adopted daughter of Jamie T and Billy Bragg.

More please.

I've had Katy J Pearson's album on repeat since it was released (yesterday).
https://katyjpearson.bandcamp.com/album/return

Something gorgeously old-fashioned about it. Just great pop songwriting. And there's something about her singing voice - can't quite put my finger on what it is but I love it.

She also does lovely, uplifting videos:

Late contender for album of the year.
