Feeling wretched all week, some sort of pestilent lurgy has assailed me. Time for the medicine.

It's so easy to set off The molecules and the caplets They all have something against me Nothing I do makes me feel different...

I've got the debut, & Willy's "Miracle", first time hearing this. It's fabulous.

You know how it is, go to get the car serviced, come home with records. The Al Stewart will replace my well worn copy. I had The Bangles one on tape. The Ann Peebles is a 1985 Hi Records comp. That one made my day. €7.50 each.

Nancy Marchand & Holland Taylor. FABULOUS.

My latest newsletter: a tribute to Bob Weir, the guitarist who helped the Grateful Dead shift with the times, the thread that ties together Neal Cassady and John Mayer.

Released this day in 1991. In straight at #1, as all us Queenies went out and bought it. An extraordinary single. We were so happy, but we also knew this feeling wouldn't last forever... "Oh yes we'll keep on trying Hey tread that fine line Yeah we'll keep on smiling And whatever will be will be"

A few mighty albums on here. www.mojo4music.com/articles/the...

One of PJ's many masterpieces. ❤️ "The scent of Thyme carried on the wind, stings your face into remembering that nature has won again"

The great Seán Ó Sé has passed. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam. youtu.be/b6JEsKlnXmc?...

To these ears, their most complete album. My favourite tracks, Fascination, You're Welcome, & the irrepressible It's Going To Happen. This reissue includes the Julie Ocean single.

🙏

A bit of fun, as this place is no fun at the moment. Who comes to mind? From r/musicsuggestions on Reddit.

From 2016, an exquisite record, the elegiac mood seeps into your pores. Tom Rapp from Pearls Before Swine shows up on side 2. It's on Kscope & I see the good people at @burningshed.com have it going for a song at the moment. Old Fire - Songs From The Haunted South

Because maybe ....

Ah, such sweet sadness. ❤️

I played this album continuously for a year & a half, and then forgot all about it.

Evenin' all.

I need a lift. The sessions disc is pure joy. X

I absolutely adore this album. Bob, helped by Josh Kaufman, assorted Nationals, Josh Ritter, and Ramblin' Jack Elliott pops up too. Goodnight, all you cowboys....

Post a pic of the venue where you saw your first concert and the band or artist. Van Morrison - Cork City Hall, Nov 29th 1987 Not the greatest start to my gig life. The miserable scrote was extra miserable, with a soupçon of rancour, & a liberal dash of rage.

Ah, dear Phil. Forever more sinned against. Thanks, @petepaphides.bsky.social. www.patreon.com/posts/147868...

Starting off with gratitude. How lucky was I to make friends with @jr52.bsky.social over on the other place, reading his Grateful Dead posts & digging his passion for a band that I liked, but could never quite get. Then, one day during C*vid, the doors opened. Thank you John. Thank you Bobby. X

Sometimes when the cuckoo's crying When the moon is half way down Sometimes when the night is dying I take me out and I wander 'round I wander 'round... #BobWeirRIP

I'd never seen this photo of Terry Hall and Jane Wiedlin before. It's wonderful, & making me quite emotional. I dunno. Must be the tiredness. "Hush, my darling Don't you cry Quiet, angel Forget their lies" ❤️

Frozen paths, & a flooded path. But, it's done.

Cans on, coffee poured. Good morning everyone.

Christ, this takes all the sycophantic biscuits. And, "he also endured the sort of critical smackdowns that would never have been inflicted on Paul McCartney or Bob Dylan"....EXCUSE ME? Unnecessary swipe at The Darkness too, DB wouldn't have lowered himself. www.irishtimes.com/culture/musi...

I think this is his best album. I think. @lippykidmusic.bsky.social

Lots of DB on my timeline...♡ Cheers all.

"I think I should have no other mortal wants, if I could always have plenty of music. It seems to infuse strength into my limbs and ideas into my brain. Life seems to go on without effort, when I am filled with music." George Eliot

youtu.be/z0VoHE2a6zQ?... Goodnight.

A grand relaxing evening. ❤️

Heaven Can Wait was on a @cmatbaby.bsky.social reel today. Any excuse to play some Judie. ❤️

My T-Rex listening for 5 decades has been a K-Tel comp, the more recent 3cd "Gold", & a copy of Unicorn. This was cheap, so...

Some new things were bought too. A few of you fabulous people mentioned this a few times last year. Like you, it is fabulous!
