Listening to PNYC now. Thanks.
A little bit like Forest Gump’s mama’s box of chocolates…
I open this thread daily never quite sure where @anon23112058 is going to go
Am never disappointed
Although I do sometimes wonder why those choices
Home Alone so I can play Tindersticks II on CD loud without complaints about miserabilism or funerals. Have to say tho thought their last one was distinctly so so.
Certainly different and for a great cause.

(Self)Indulging in a bit of reminiscence.
Leading lights of the then called New Wave Of British Heavy Metal, Iron Maiden.
Debut album with vocalist Paul Dianno who I saw live around the time at Brighton’s Top Rank Suite with a bunch of friends.
Something of an album marking a crossroads in my life, shortly after musical direction and thankfully my life went in a completely different direction to that of those departed friends.
The Delaware slide! Love that album
Been listening to this alot, agree, my favourite at the moment.
Garth Hudson turns 84 on August 2nd. The Band keyboardist has always maintained a very low public profile, and he received very few songwriting credits on Band albums, but his piano, organ, sax, trumpet accordion and clavinet were crucial components of the group’s signature sound. They would have been an unimaginably different group without him.
Quite a clever video too.
