Mott The Hoople. Compilation.

I would have loved to have seen them live. I heard that the concerts could be quite violent and they got banned from a number of venues. Great songs imho.

Classic FM and Classic FM at the Movies, noting the improvement derived from replacing my ageing Cisco 2960 with a Chord English Electric EE8 switch and trying to determine whether, or not, the addition of an EE1 or Stack Audio SmoothLAN between the EE8 and my Atom HE would further improve matters?

Andrew Bird Trio - Sunday Morning Put-On
CD|2024

A jazz album from Mr Bird, albeit with a violin. First listen, liking it so far. But I am a big fan of his work.

Hatfield and the North - The Rotters’ Club

How else do you follow the Hatfields’ first album than with the second. This one is a bit more accessible if you’re new to Mr Sinclair and co.

Blood, Sweat & Tears - Mirror Image

After the horror show production on the first track this turns into a great album and is possible the last great B,S & T album.
