Still couchlocked and enjoying a first listen to this recomendation from @gthack

Chilled, downtempo ambient ethereal fusion of Soul, Jazz, funky vibes, a hint of Dancehall and featuring one of the leading lights of UK Jazz Shabaka Hutchings.

Loving this peach of the classic Whitesnake line up.I think the live performances are better than the studio versions.

Aptly titled first listen to Lucifer On The Sofa by Spoon, a new band to me who have entred my radar after hearing the Adrian Sherwood Dub of the album Lucifer On The Moon.

Thunder. The Thrill of it All. 4th album on CD. I have most of their albums and this gets played more than most.

Even if Danny Bowes was turning into “Julian Clary”. Lol.

Good choice @Tabbycat. The blatant sexism of DC is not appealing but their earlier blues base is really good.
I have a recording of Mistreated / Soldier of Fortune from Reading Festival (1980?) which was immense at the time and brilliantly captured by the BBC for the radio. Just wish I could find a copy other than my cassette or You Tube.

Had to go out and perform surgery on a Dual 505/2 for a friend of mine.
Back now, so just put it on…
