Happy new year Bluesky fam! Xx

#NowPlaying Miles Davis Circle in the Round 1979 One of the most interesting MD compilation albums, covering the peak years from both of the great Quintets (1955-1970)

#NowPlaying Tom Waits Blue Valentine 1978

JMW Turner The Fall of Anarchy 1833 A long time since I last visited Tate Britain, most of which was spent in the Clore Gallery admiring the many groundbreaking works of one of our greatest artists... Must return again soon (and its free)

#NowPlaying Roxy Music Gotta love a compilation album…

#NowPlaying Scott Walker + Sunn 0))) Soused 2014

#NowPlaying #Nirvana Unplugged in New York 1994 Must rank as one of the best unplugged sets. An almost perfect setlist, with the incredible 'Where did you sleep last night' as the closer. Pure class

It’s a Nick Drake kind of afternoon…

#Music After nearly two years the music room is almost complete. Looking forward to getting the old rig up and running again at the weekend, I've really missed that depth of sound from the big Focals...

Cheers friends! Aren’t these long warm evenings the best?! Wishing you all a great weekend

#NowPlaying Richard & Linda Thompson Pour Down Like Silver 1975 Magnificent....

#NowPlaying Can Tago Mago Weather appropriate music…

#NowPlaying Henri Texier Varech 1977 Hello friends. Have been absent for a while, have I missed anything?

#NowPlaying #MusicSky Sigur Rós Ágætis byrjun 1999 Maybe one of the best albums of the late 90's, if not THE best

#NowPlaying #Spiritualized #MusicSky Lazer-Guided Melodies 1992 Sounding as fresh as the day it was released

#NowPlaying #TheBeatles #MusicSky Please Please Me 1963 Abbey Road 1969 Crazy to think just six years separates these albums. That’s some evolution…

#NowPlaying #TheWaterboys This Is The Sea 1985 Remember seeing them at the Oxford Apollo...1989 or 1990 I think...

#NowPlaying #DonaldFagen #MusicSky The NightFly 1982

#NowPlaying #Ride #MusicSky Going Blank Again 1992

#NowPlaying #DavidBowie #MusicSky Hunky Dory 1971 Immense, in every measurable way He produced nothing but music gold from this point onwards

Miles Davis "Get Up With It", Columbia, 1974 (re). #milesdavis #getupwithit #columbiarecords #vinyl #jazz#nowplaying #musicsky #vinylsky

#NowPlaying #MusicSky The Blue Nile Hats 1989 I prefer this to A Walk Across the Rooftops but feel neither has aged particularly well, at least to my ears. Heavy on synthetic sound and on production....

#NowPlaying #PrefabSprout From Langley Park to Memphis 1988 Great memories whilst playing this, of halcyon days at Polytechnic feeling bright and optimistic about the future...

#NowPlaying #PJHarvey Let England Shake 2011 Extraordinary and brilliant....

#NowPlaying #TheByrds The Notorious Byrd Brothers 1968 Plenty of sweet sounding harmonic/melodic music on the turntable today to cure my infernal hangover...

#NowPlaying #HerbieHancock Crossings 1972 Indulging in spiritual contemplation this morning with HH, Benny Maupin and band...

#NowPlaying Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros Global a Go-go 2001

#MusicSky Since the beginning of February I have been slowly but systematically playing and properly listening to every album I own. 63 albums in and so far 15 have been graded as 'unlikely to ever listen to again' Thats a much higher percentage than I anticipated so early on....

#NowPlaying #SandyDenny The North Star Grassman and the Ravens 1971 A little inconsistent, but hell its Sandy so who cares, she could sing anything and make it sound fantastic.

#ECMMusic Great music but also some of the most beautiful album covers.. These courtesy of Maja Weber (aka Mrs Eberhard Weber)

#NowPlaying #MusicSky #FleetFoxes Shore 2020 I've been playing a lot of FF music recently. Quite possibly my favourite band of the 21st century, I might need to give that further thought...

#NowPlaying #MusicSky #PinkFloyd Wish You Were Here 1975

#NowPlaying #MusicSky #Kraftwerk Trans Europa Express 1977

#TheBrutalist #DanielBlumberg Went to see this last night. Absolutely loved the movie, and it has an amazing soundtrack written by Daniel Blumberg, that was recorded at Cafe Oto in London. Pete Walsh produced it (who also produced Scott Walker studio albums from Climate of Hunter onwards)

#NowPlaying #MusicSky #BrianEno Apollo: Atmospheres & Soundtracks 1983

I'm sitting ting in a cafe and Chesney Hawkes' The One and Only has come on the radio. When I was 18, I worked in a Threshers off-licence with his cousin, Rebecca. I demand to know your rubbish celeb link...

#NowPlaying Japan Tin Drum 1981 Lewishams finest export....

#NowPlaying #JohnnYCash American IV: The Man Comes Around 2002 Sunday evening homage to one of the greats, and what a swan song this was...

#NowPlaying Fleet Foxes 2021 A Very Lonely Solstice Officially a Fleet Foxes release, but actually it's a solo Robin Pecknold pandemic project where he acoustically reworks well known FF tracks, plus a great Bee Gees cover (In the Morning) Most FF fans will love it...

#NowPlaying Dexys Midnight Runners Don't Stand Me Down 1985 Dexys finest hour, and one of the greatest albums of the eighties

#NowPlaying The Velvet Underground White Light/White Heat 1968

In a world of filled with JD Vances, be a Zelensky.

#NowPlaying Talking Heads Remain in Light 1980 What a band, what an album...

#NowPlaying Curtis Mayfield There's No Place Like America Today 1975 Fuck you Donald Trump...

Utterly depressing watching Trump and Vance rip into Zelensky....

#NowPlaying #MusicSky Dion Born to be with You 1975 Seriously underrated...

#ACompleteUnknown was magnificent There is nothing I would like more than to have lived in Greenwich Village in the early 60's soaking up Coltrane and Dolphy at the Vanguard and Bob at the Gaslight, with the British invasion just around the corner....bliss. If you love music, go and see it

#NowPlaying #MusicSky #Tindersticks Debut 1993 Has stood the test of time better than many contemporaneous releases but as a single album it's way too long. Much as I really like what Tindersticks created here, and later, 21 tracks over 75 minutes is a bit wearing....

#NowPlaying Bob Dylan John Wesley Harding 1967 Off to see A Complete Unknown tonight at the flicks, so getting in the mood....
