What have you been listening to lately?

[Sarge]

A decent bit of soul @Sarge

boss sounds reggae- Jamaican soul ;-)

If anyone else's tastes run to the 'unusual' (what my daughter has always described as 'Dads weirdo music') then give Renaldo and The Loaf a listen. A lazy description, but sort of an English version of The Residents. I found then fairly recently and have been enjoying catching up with what they've done over the years.

The new October Drift album is out tomorrow. Unfortunately, the bloody vinyl has been delayed so I'll wait until that arrives before I listen to it, first plays need to be done properly with a decent sound system.

Wishbone Ash at the O2 last night were a good old trip back to my youth.
Also a very good article on Andy Partridge of XTC he may be from that place down the A420 even though he was born in Malta but there's no denying his talent as a songwriter

‘My dream had died’: XTC’s Andy Partridge on mental illness, battling the music industry and losing his muse

Forty years ago, XTC were riding high when Partridge had a breakdown and quit touring. As he releases a new archival EP, he discusses the troubled childhood and addiction that triggered it, finding refuge in the studio – and why he’s stopped writing songs

I was at the Ash! Great gig and Argus is such a good album. I will read the XTC piece too.

It was a tragically aged audience, apart from me of course- and some people’s kids!

Quite a few walking sticks in evidence, but at least they weren’t on the stage.

Good show, although sort of loses its way. You'll have some good series to watch though.

 

[Yellowmania]

Just got into the Blossoms, love that sort of chilling vibe.

Cheers I do think hits humour with Tom Ellis is
spot on

[Berliner]

Watched Muse again (11th or 12th time) yesterday in a small venue as part of their club tour, cracking atmosphere.
Was also press ganged into listening to Taylor Swift's new album by the kids...actually very good, she's certainly a talent.

Lightening Seeds and Badly Drawn Boy at O2 last night was very good.
