Has to be my favourite song on my favourite album from the Stones 

I wonder Charlie had been ?  He only just made it into his seat for the start of “ The Last Time”.

Bit of Jackson Browne - The Laurel Canyon crew.

I'm not usually a fan of posthumous releases of 'new' or 'undiscovered' material, as there's usually a reason why it didn't see the light of day while the artist was still alive, and that is because they didn't deem it good enough.

However, Gerry Rafferty's daughter has just put together some of the things he was working on in the years before his death, enlisting the help of many who played on the sessions to finish the songs off. Its a mixture of his own compositions and a couple of folk classics, with the album ending with Gerry's re-recording of Stuck In The Middle With You.

The album is called Rest In Blue

Its worth buying just for his rendition of Wild Mountain Thyme, which apparently reduced Billy Connolly to tears when he heard it.

'Listening' to a YouTube channel/series called TheGreatWar which originally released an episode each week from 2014-2018 about the events that week exactly 100 years prior.

Even now it's a fascinating in-depth history lesson in enjoyable bitesize chunks.

As a Jinjer fanboy and natural introvert, this song speaks to me:

New Order and Dave. Going to see both those chaps this weekend at Heaton Park.

Lovely.

I'm going tonight, Halifax Piece hall, or is it somewhere in Rome?

Has anyone played the game where you create a play list of 100 songs, from 100 different artists? Each artist can appear once, but solo artists can appear alongside any bands they're in. Took me almost a week putting this together.

Here's mine created a couple of years ago:

@K-Hod Great gig last night at The Piece Hall, sets things up nicely for Heaton Park.

Bernard Sumner, after 40yrs, has actually managed to find his singing voice, the band were on top form, which over the years hasn't always been the case.

[K-Hod]

New Order were absolutely unbelievable last night. That’s one ticked off!

Parklife today and I’ll be watching Carl Cox from 12-3, amongst others, then Dave to finish. Lovely.

[K-Hod]

Managed to catch Carl Cox, Skream, Artwork, Honey Dijon, Adam Bayer and Dave yesterday.

Dave closed the day and brought Stormzy out for a tune they made about three months ago to finish. Incredible stuff.

[Gav]

A blast from the past, great tune, good band.

We’ve had a bit of Bicep discussion before but on the weekend I had the pleasure of catching an Eli Brown closing set at an Elrow event in Brum 

Didnt get any live videos - but will keep an eye out - but he did play a pretty great mix of Biceps Glue and Nelly Furtados ‘Say it Right’ for all you electronic heads out there 

 

[Gav]

We recorded Simon and Garfunkel in Central Park from 1981 - Just watched the full concert, absolute genius, takes your stresses away, just brilliant. 

[Gav]

Guilty pleasure?

I'm thinking of giving the new ABBA album 'Voyage' a spin.

Greatest pop band ever.

After recently seeing Genesis in Liverpool, then Steve Hackett in Carlisle, I’m giving both some serious airplay. Away from his solo stuff, Steve Hackett generally concentrates on the early Genesis numbers, so that gig was certainly special.

[DE.]

For anybody who enjoys 80s rock (Def Leppard, Motley Crue, Bon Jovi, etc), Nitrate's 'Renegade' album is pretty good:

Another band I've been listening to a lot of recently are Beast in Black - still very much 80s influenced, particularly with the use of synths, but also heavy into cyberpunk and with a sound closer to the likes of Iron Maiden mixed with Judas Priest. Probably not to many tastes on here, but I've really been enjoying their latest album 'Dark Connection':

 

[Upside Down]

Absolute belter

Great tune for a Friday night:

 

[oldjamfan1]

The Lathums are a good new young band - the baton has well and truly been passed to these lads from the 60s and through Britpop:

 

[Gav]

Another good young local band, very New Order Esq:

Excellent. Heard some very good reports about these lads Gav. 

[Gav]

These lads aren't bad either

This is a brilliant track, from 1988, you must listen to this album version loud, genius.
