DJ Random was in a Rory Gallagher mood yesterday. This Unit hereby endorses this product, service or sentiment.

Some noisy bugger outside with an eternal fucking combustion-engined instrument of bucolicism demolishing innocent vegetation.

The first two Jeff Beck albums with Rodders on vocals and Ronnie Wood on base plus Madeline Bell, John Paul Jones, Keith Moon and Jimmy Page on some of the tracks. Not bad at all.

Daniel Lanois - Acadie.
The Maker has one of my favourite baselines evah.

This morning first thing, and yesterday too actually. It may not be everybody's 'uplifting' type of music, but I revel in maudlin music; so thank you The Unthanks with their Mount The Air:

Yummy. In fact I've listened to it 5 times already this morning!

A random selection of Quireboys tracks chosen by Alexa.

I remember them as being very Faces influenced but there's a lot of late 70s Stones in some of this stuff too.
A lot better than I had remember, should have been more successful than they were really.

Like a lot of their contemporaries, they were just getting in their stride when along came grunge...

This should maybe be filed under "Bands you really shouldn't like but do", I really enjoy both The Quireboys and The Dogs D'Amour to the point of finding myself singing their songs on a regular basis. I have also seen the both play live, in the '90s.

Last night was the last Jo Whiley show on Radio 2. I am sad. It was great early evening listening with an eclectic mixture of music.
She's being moved to co presenting the drive time program with Simon Mayo, can't see that lasting. Square peg, round hole. Mayo is good at what he does but his thing is talking not playing music and the music at that time of the day is whatever the BBC has on rotation not what a DJ chooses.

Another Music in a Different Kitchen - Buzzcocks

Definitive Punk album.

Young Person - "What's Punk Rock?"
Me - "Listen to this Album"

DJ Random decided to play "Fast Cars" yesterday.

Jenny Lewis - on random. The girl tries on plenty of different hats.

Cruel Winds by the Night Flowers. I'm liking it a lot.

Rubbish by Carter USM, one of the few songs to include the word "chlorofluorocarbon" and make the line scan.

The incomparable Nina Simone.

I love Alexa, I thought I fancy listening to Nina Simone so "Alexa play Nina Simone" and there you go. Brilliant.

pcolbeck · « **Reply #5191 on:** 25 May, 2018, 02:19:06 pm »

And today its a woman who in some way reminds me of Nina Simone, Erykah Badu. I'm working my way through all her albums.
Great covers as well. With a definite nod to 70s album art work:

I have photos! Come back Ruth Skipper!

Anyway, tonight: The Proms on R3, shouting along to that ecstatic outburst of joy that is the finale of Beethoven's 5th, and then they treated the audience to an encore--the finale of the 7th. Little Moment indeed; damp-eyed and grinning now.

Radio 3 . Now. What sounds rather like the Unthanks and Felton Lonnen.

Lots of Kinky Friedman, after a mate shared a link.

Wowbagger · « **Reply #5198 on:** 07 August, 2018, 07:42:31 pm »

A Prom. The second half tonight is A German Requiem by Brahms. We sang in that a couple of years ago. It's excellent stuff.

As a factoid of no value whatsoever, I would like to point out that I was once in the same room as someone who played a piece of Brahms. In the company of the composer.

They were on a prom a few nights ago. Almost certainly still available on Listen Again.
