Myself and Mrs Sloop’s first date was the film “eat the peach” which we watched again lately (April 7th, so not that lately). the theme song was on Brady’s next album “Primitive Dance” and a mix tape (as they are called now) of Paul Brady wended its way towards her pretty soon after the film.

Arctic Monkeys, Royal Albert Hall. I really like Christina Grimmie’s cover of do I wanna know? That’s not available on any cd or streaming platform so let’s listen to the original. So far so good.
