Alice Cooper - Schools Out. The first album I ever bought.

Remember singing along to this at the age of 11. No wonder I got funny looks from my mum   ::-)

Birds outside my office window. We have sparrows & pigeons nesting up in the eaves and wrens in the ivy on the far side of the house. Redstarts too, somewhere - we're always seeing them round the place.

But now I'm going downstairs to listen to bangers & chips doing what they do best.
I've dusted off all those old bottles and set them up straight

Senking - Enduro Bones

A really good match of downhill MTB footage to Senking's music

Bingo! That's what I am, a saviour.

Crowded House.

A band Crusty introduced me to oh so many years ago. I have thought of them as a corny pop band for all this time, but for some reason they have songs that are hitting the spot right now, Four Seasons In One Day most particularly.

A rather scratchy copy of Handel's "Messiah".  (Mackerras, English Chamber Orchestra, Ambrosian Singers).  Lovely stuff.
Not fast & rarely furious

I don't normally knock people's musical tastes, but, REALLY?

You'll be listening to The Lighthouse Family next, at which point you will most definitely be off the Xmas card list!

MY choice today is Imagine Dragons, Emili Sande and Tom Odell.

Orbital - with particular emphasis on the Brown Album (aka Orbital 2) and Diversions

The latter is a remix album which isn't quite as crap as most of their later stuff.
The Brown Album is still a techno masterpiece IMO.

Remain in Light, Talking Heads… on slightly crackly vinyl.  Still can't work out if anyone is actually playing the tune on Once in a Lifetime.

Cueing up The Curse of the Higsons (also on vinyl) next….

In view of the fact that:

a. Fboab's not here this evening (She'd dump me if she were, and I put this on)
b. I may be venturing into Geordie land on this year's York Arrow

I'm listening to Dire Straits.

I'm hoping for more of an Alex Glasgow vibe. Sadly, he doesn't seem to have written a song called Ferry Across the Tyne - I thought if anyone had...

We'll also pass through Futureheads territory, of course.

Four Seasons in One Day reminds me of dance classes in PE at school. :hand:

Alex wrote a song called "All In A Day" about shipbuilding on the Tyne, so that would do.  It's a great song.

He sang this.

I'm picturing you all singing mournfully, realising you've missed the last ferry.

That's now I've cleared the horrible audio of chez-Chris-last-night out of my ears.
