Completing online training at work on a dead night shift, and running YT audio as I work through the modules, and this came up
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nt7-W-ARf6w

I have always had a love of John F's stuff, but he actually surprises me by his technical tricks in this. Some of his takes on songs don't work for me (Lodi in particular), but it is a solidly rocking performance.

Steph, I'll watch the concert later but you mentioned Lodi and it reminded me of this version. I have it on an album by Freddie, produced by Don Nix and the incomparable Leon Russell (he's on keys, here).

And this just came on next - Etta at her best, with an old country classic:-

You tube can shorten your life - but what a way to go!

That Etta James track is fantastic.

I've tried a few off the album, P, and I can't wait for my local second-hand CD shop to re-open (call me old-fashioned)!

it's called "Love's Been Rough On Me" - which sadly is true (but fortunately not for me!).

Today is Alexa feeding me her random selection of John Coltrane tracks.

I am home alone (well bar the dog and the cat), jazz seems to be physically painful to Mrs Pcolbeck given her expression should I play it when she is around.

^ It's tough when your other half doesn't like your favorite music. In our house my wife doesn't like Siouxsie and the Banshees and I don't like musicals. (this is a rare case of me being righteous and her being wrong - I must be right because my daughter having a screaming fit whenever a musical comes up on the radio).

I read this and assumed you were talking about Monopuff, John F's side project from they Might Be Giants.

The Beatles (White Album). God, there's some shite on it.

I have no idea why it's viewed as one of their best albums.

Inspired by a Teams thread (that's what you get for working for a company that makes equipment for musicians), I am listening to this:

My neighbours have been doing lots of renovations over the last few days. Hammering, power tools, the lot.

They'll be tired now, so I'm helping them to relax & unwind by playing The Cocteau Twins, "BBC Sessions" at an appropriate volume.

The Bicep set from the 6music festival. This is awesome...

They remind me so much of Future Sound of London - Apricots in particular is an homage to Papua New Guinea. But that’s no bad thing.

Makes me feel very old though - PNG came out 30 years ago. 30 years! FFS!

Also: the sub-editor in me has to fight the urge to add an S to their name...

DJ Random, what did I say that sounded like “play me drum solos”. Toad followed immediately by The Mule. Surprised he didn’t give me Moby Dick as an encore.

We are belatedly listening to Gideon Coe's International Women's Day program and being pleasantly surprised that it's not wall to wall worthy guitar strumming breathy ladies.

Bit surprised he didn't manage to squeeze any Savages or The Breeders in there though.

Bevis Frond seems to have caught DJ Random's attention today.

Not music, but A. L. Kennedy casting a pod about Essex.

Very good indeed, although I don't think Billericay gets a mention.

The house she lives in, in Wivenhoe, she bought from my son and his partner. Her basement was their basement.
