Vashti Bunyan's new album, Heartleap. Her third: the previous one was 7 years ago, and the first was, ridiculously, in 1970. And she's even more wonderful than ever this time round.

Good Omens, the Pterry adaptation/radio series in collaboration with Neil Gaiman. Spot the cameos by the authors!

Most enjoyable when you're cooking.

Bow Thayer, an astonishing guitar talent in that cool, country-blues laid back style that makes it sound so easy.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xmZ9g9LlQio - accompanied by a bass uke, at 12:00-ish he starts playing his bojotar - a smashing together of banjo, dobro and electric guitar. I'd reckon the Mississippi blues he plays at about 32:00 are as good as anything.

BBC R4 "From Our Own Correspondent" yesterday had an item about an African cycle team.
I just spotted it on the BBC website.

It's an inspiring story.

The Calm Blue Sea.

Bloody hell - they sound quite a lot like Explosions in the Sky, don't they?

Have I missed something - are they actually the same band? Did they get bored with one name and change it?

Biify Clyro - Opposites followed by Bad Religion - The Dissent of Man

They're also from Austin TX. Something in the water?

Mind you, Stevie Ray Vaughan was from Austin too.

As I'm off work I can listen to the Radio 3 Lunchtime Concert. The Emerson Quartet playing Shostakovich String Quartet No 15 in E Flat Minor Op 144. Recorded at St Georges Hall, Liverpool last year. I was in the audience for this one & it's just as good the 2nd time. Listen carefully & you can hear the huge chandelier tinkling...

Shostakovith 15th symphony.
