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

And imo the last album that didn’t sound like the one before. They were never the same without Bon.

Agree Pete, just don’t realise how long ago it was.

Elton John’s timeless classic Mad Man Across the Water, not a bad track anywhere.

It was that long ago I had a full head of hair and didn’t have a beer gut. :rofl::rofl:

First listen to Paul McCartney and Wings, One Hand Clapping. Heard good things so interested as Paul can come free of the wheels sometimes.

Very impressed with Paul/Wings album, worth it alone for the ballads Maybe I’m Amazed and My Love. Even tracks I didn’t particularly like on the albums (C/Moon for one) sounded better.

I haven’t bought an album since Angie McMahons new album 6 months ago but I’ll be purchasing a hi res copy of this.

I think I may have told this story before. About 3 years ago I got off a train and a young woman around student age was ahead of me wearing a Back in Black t-shirt, and I realised her parents were young kids when I saw them on the ‘81 BiB tour.

You have and I wish I had the same encounter, they were a force of nature. Everything about what was going on in Australia (probably everywhere). I never got to see them as they were so popular I ignored them originally.

Breakfast on BBC R3 FM where a hydrophone has just been lowered into the North Sea, as the presenter, Petroc, his producer and the sound man rolled up their trousers and went for a paddle. Wonderful.

The needle on the whimsy meter firmly in the red zone for me :slight_smile:

I cannot recommend this highly enough, a real return to form with modern production. I’m listening to it whilst enjoying my new Sarum T speaker cable and it sounds fantastic :blush:

Paul McCartney - The Backyard Tapes, first listen of the little acoustic set, performed solo by McCartney, on the last day of the One Hand Clapping sessions. Nice to finally have in decent sq. @Pete_the_painter , after your earlier comments, this may be of interest Pete?

You know listening to One Hand Clapping makes wonder if the Let Be project would have been based on their existing catalog how easier it would have been rather than all the pressure of trying to record new stuff. They could a have produced a brilliant live performance for some of their best music, shame.

True, they gave themselves such a ridiculously short time frame, with Ringo needed for filming at the end of that month. Plus, who the hell attempts to record brand new songs, just months after releasing 30 numbers on their previous album. Nevermind.
