BB King in his pomp, not the old guy on a chair from his later years. Live in Africa 1974.

I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that.

Leftfields newest, Alternative Light Source. Despite the universally glowing reviews so far it's been a bit meh. Ok I'm listening in the car, but there's nothing like Phat Planet or Afrika Shox to get you winding up the volume. And only 2 tracks to go.  :-\

Pink Floyd: "The Wall"

Remind me not to listen to this album when I am feeling a bit miserable, er like I am today.

Bad choice Ian. Great Album, wrong topic area.

Next up: Carter USM 101 Damnations.

Here is what to do if you are tempted to listen to the super-duper deluxe edition of Deep Purple's Made In Japan in its entirety: anything at all.  It's the original 1972 album, and the 2014 remaster of same, and all three shows from which the original album was assembled.  The main entertainment comes from spotting the different twiddly bits Jon Lord put into his keyboard solos, and Ian Gillan trying to explain " Smoke On The Water" to an audience who probably don't understand a word he's saying.

Does The Wall make anyone feel anything other than miserable (regardless of how you start off feeling)?  I like having a copy in my collection, but I can't listen to it.

Today I am listening to 6 Music, as usual.

Rarely, if ever, listen to Queen these days. With one or two exceptions most of their material post 1976 is dross.

Meanwhile I have re-acquired and become re-acquainted with Natural History - a Talk Talk compilation. Lots of jangly piano & harmonica. By God he could hit those drums!

Well that's the more blunt way of putting it but as usual he's dead right.

Kathryn Williams's new album Hypoxia.  Marvellous.  I'm sure she was supposed to be playing round here this week, but maybe the gig got cancelled.

Hmph.

Motörhead.  All of it.  Filling in the shameful gap in my post-1985 knowledge of the 'head.

Acoustic guitar?  Keyboards?  WTF ???
