What are you listening to in 2024 and why might anyone be interested?

On the cusp of a new year (happy New Year to our members in NZ!), a new and refreshed “what are you listening to” thread.

Madness - Absolutely, on original vinyl.

Oh how we all wanted to be a part of this “gang” when I was a young boy, but the closest I got was to get a secondhand overcoat like you see them wearing on the cover here. This album (and Lee Thompson’s Sax playing on the sublime track, Overdone) did inspire me to take up the Saxophone though. Playing this album takes me straight back to 1980/81.

This is so infectious, in a good way. An album featuring the Brazilian diaspora that recorded in 1970s US. It has wonderful Bossa Nova/Latin rhythm.

New to me - an Irish folk band called Dallahan that Cerys has just played on 6Music. Really, really good - have a listen to the track called ‘Beaton’s’

After ‘The Cars’ and ‘Candy-O’ this is a close run favourite. Still sounds fresh today.

The cars first two albums are brilliant, and its hard to believe nearly 45 years old, I remember buying the singles as picture discs when first released, happy times.

Starting our afternoon with a bit of Norah Jones whilst Mrs Q begins the removal of Christmas.

Ornaments, tinsel and soft stuff today.
Christmas Trees tomorrow.
Seems a bit strange putting a first entry in a 2024 thread in the last dwindling hours of 2023

Agreed, it’s several hours too early, however Richard is well overdue some free time and he is allowed to make one mistake a year so it might as well be today! :upside_down_face:

In the spirit of giving anything a go I’ve tried some Taylor Swift but just found it rather repetitive/formulaic. Not for me.
