The sadly missed Mark Hollis of Talk Talk fame... two absolute corkers!

[Lincolnshire Seagull]

As has been said, the choice can change daily depending on your mood, but here are two classics from the Kinks

Yes!

Something from Spirit of Eden popped up on my iPod today. I was directed to the later albums by someone on NSC, when Mark Hollis died. To that person I owe a debt of gratitude.

The thread title is bollocks,

Oh, don't you start. If you read the first few posts you should be able to get what I was on about. Even the title hints at it....plenty of people do get it. Give me a bit of credit...

Whilst shielding I've got my trusty karaoke machine out of retirement. Managed to get Such A Shame on karaoke. I'm sure I could hear Mark spinning in his grave.

 

[Ooh it’s a corner]

If anyone doesn’t know what soul music is I suggest this guy had the best soul voice of voice of all time - the first is from the classic Otis Blue album



And the second from The Dictionary of Soul

In the end I am a sucker for the delicious but slightly wanky. I am just remembered I'm in thrall to these lovelies. Best ever.

Call out to those of you (probably ten of you) who have been pleased to discover some new things from my interminable music posts: this is worth the bus fair.

In the spirit of the gadfly, dazzled by shiny things, I am in love again. I'm walking on both sides. Best ever.

German band. Been around maybe 20 years. Absolute joy. The masters of the surprise intensity and joy derived from vehement repetition. The absolute opposite of the Covid updates.

 

[Binney on acid]

I don't know what the finest track is. It's obviously by Jackson Browne, but there are so many to choose from.

and at the danger of repeating myself, who can possibly ignore the interplay between Sandy Denny's beautiful voice and Richard Thompson's shimmering guitar playing in this total classic

Hauntingly beautiful. It's up there with the best work of Jackson Browne.

 

[Icy Gull]

I don't know what the finest track is. It's obviously by Jackson Browne, but there are so many to choose from.

This one is kind of topical and relevant. Jackson is right up there as one of the greatest song writers in music imo, his lyrics are thought provoking and always paint a great picture.

Shit filming but great performance from 1977

Jackson Browne and David Lindley, what a combination!
