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

No I don’t, which performance would that be?

Holland & Wild Honey/ The Beach Boys.

Only a few years apart but very different albums, both an essential part of their story.

Sorry I may have missed it but is there any new material on this release?

Contrary to received wisdom, this is pretty good. Well, in the context of it being a late post-Love You LP with a smattering of schmaltzy moments (Bruce’s Endless Harmony is godawful).

The rest is aimless but really enjoyable. Also, and this maybe just me, there’s a darkness lurking just below the surface of the cheeriness.

Keepin’ The Summer Alive/The Beach Boys (1980).

A final one tonight. Probably where Costello & Frisell first worked together? Really excellent meditations on Mingus with great SQ. Uniti Core.

Im sorry, kev, I really wanted to enjoy the video and I did. But… who’s is that guy in green, playing sax? Very distracting… can’t get my eyes off the bloke. It looks like he’s lost.
He’s got that look like he’s worried if he’s going to get paid for the gig. I’m sure he’s a nice guy.

It’s the fate of all saxophonists not to get paid. They accept it with resignation and grace.

Just tell him to stop staring.
Keyboards sound great BTW. :sunglasses:
