Johanna Samuels - Excelsior!
CD|2021
Prompted by @David earlier post.
Dave’s a lovely bloke and very fine guitarist. I love that album, he’s a huge Tolkien fan and has written a beautiful set of tracks based on LOTR.
I’ve started listening to Heart 70s in the car on DAB - Boney M tracks just sound brilliant and bring a smile to my face.
Thanks Eoink. TLOTR has been part of my life for 50 years and Dave’s album is a very fine interpretation.
Just ordered the CD.
Great album, on vinyl…
I looped over Diana Krall’s girl in the other room, live in Paris amongst others so much that I have a couple of copies of them. And let’s not limit the meaning of a couple to two.
On vinyl…
Joy Division, Unknown Pleasures (2019 digital master). Always knew this infamous cover but never played it before. What have I missed?! Thank you @anon23112058!
Why was it an infamous cover?
You are more than welcome. Should you ever come across an album cover that you do not recognise, there is a website known as tineye.com where you can upload an album cover and it will use reverse image lookup (computer vision, machine learning, neural networks etc) to identify what you have uploaded. Wishing you a lovely morning
The greatest debut album of all time, that’s what you’ve been missing…
Well, what I have been listening to tonight is a free concert put on for NHS staff by Gorillaz at the O2 in London. One of the best concerts I have ever been to, both for the show put on by Damon Albarn (2 and 1/2 hours) and the atmosphere in the arena - 20 000 people just partying for the whole concert - absolutely amazing. He is a brilliant and generous musician. I lost count of the number of guests who came on tonight but the highlights were:
Robert Smith
Hooky
Shaun Ryder
Little Simz
De La Soul
Utterly memorable and brilliant
