She’ll be following Tom NcKinney, but I do have jobs which need to be done, so won’t be able to listen for long.

The Dave Brubeck Quartet Time OutTakes / 2020 Brubeck Editions / US CD / BECD20200901

Queensryche - Condition Hüman thanks to @QuickSticks

The Korgis - This Worlds For Everyone - CD (1992)

Another blast from the past.

David Byrne/St. Vincent - Love This Giant
Via Tidal Stream 16/44.1 (originally released 2012)

A fantastic collaboration of the 2 most influential American artists of their eras. What an Album, just so animating and fascinating. From the first cord you are in it and you just want more of it.
Happy Sunday

Neil Young - A Letter Home
Strange to be streaming in high res a recording that is as low tech as it was possible to have.
Reason To Believe and If You Could Read My Mind are my favourites on this release.

[Adam1]

Fluid tubes to start a beautiful Sunday morning , Bloc Party, Hymns on double white vinyl.

The Rolling Stones - Let It Bleed - CD (1969)

[Adam1]

Winding up the energy now, the excellent debut solo album from Romy, wearing her happy face after the XX angst.

[AlanP]

Gary Moore - Blues Alive, includes my favourite version of “Parisienne Walkways”.

[Collywobbles]

The Pasadenas. CD. 1988.

Found this in the CD cabinet, never seen it before, my wife has admitted responsibility for it back in the 80s. Just playing it now. I can safely say it is unlikely to be played again. Utter pap.

[Cmax]

The Rolling Stones - Get Yer Ya Ya’s Out - CD (1970)

[stewartg]

Gary Moore - After Hours
Opening track on this (Cold Day In Hell) takes me right back to seeing him on tour at Royal Albert Hall in 1992. Great guitar player.
