Did you enjoy his performance on Game of Thrones, Dread?
Elvis Costello & the Attractions - Imperial Bedroom
Every bugger loved this one from EC, and it sounds wonderful on original 1982 vinyl, from the long-gone Revolver Records in Bristol.
But Get Happy! (1980) is still the fabbest. There’s not a song on it I don’t still adore, and Mr. McManus never bettered New Amsterdam. YMMV.

Marc Maron WTF Podcast. Fascinating interview with Brett Morgen, the director of the recently released Moonage Daydream Bowie doc. Well worth a listen for a little creative background.

My biggest dissapointment this year has to be not being able to catch either Burning Spear shows here in Birmingham and Brixton.
brilliant that figures! I will have to check a few scenes out
I really enjoyed it and the previous debut/eponymous album, especially the folky tracks with acoustic instruments.
Scarlet and Other Stories brought a much heavier rock edge, almost anthemic with driving rhythms - that is what seemed so lacking listening to the vinyl last night.

LAU - The Bell That Never Rang (Diverse Records 2LP 2015)
Expanded 2 LP edition from Scottish Folk trio with a touch of electronics and joined by the Elysian Quartet
Diverse Records was a vinyl only quality label started by the people behind the shop Diverse Vinyl in Cardiff. My Naim dealer had a selection in the shop,he kindly invited me to help myself to one for free over a year or more ago. Having already very much enjoyed the Diverse 2LP version of Lau’s Race The Loser/Ghosts I bagged this one, somehow forgot about it and just came across it today for a first listen a year or more later.
I’m enjoying it, chilled and relaxing

Neneh Cherry - Raw Like Sushi CD rip. Oh wow, is it really thirty years since this came out, blimey. Still sounds fresh and full of energy though (well to these aching bones!).

Jimmy Cliff - Refugees (Qobuz/Sunpower)
Delighted to hear Jimmy has a new and purposefull album out, enjoying this first listen and great to hear his still sweet voice on new material.
“As a humanitarian, I wrote the song due to emotional feelings towards freedom taken away from human beings. None of us should be forced by violence, economics, war, or persecution to leave our country against our will”
Cliff says he views refugees as ordinary people who are also “quite extraordinary people, because they make miracles happen”. He describes negative attitudes towards them as stemming from “ignorance and wrong judgement” as well as the harmful effects of racism.
In an ideal world, he says, refugees would not exist anymore. “I know it’s utopian,” he says, adding that for now he will settle for them having “equality/equity, truth, and justice”
