Back in 1969 long before Northern Lights the band was formed by ex Yardbirds Keith Relf and Jim McCarty along with Keith’s sister Jane.

Another fantastic band I discovered via the forum. Willy Vlautin is the poet laureate of the luckless and the heartbroken eking out a life in the underbelly of the United States.

Can’t decide what to listen to so the dulcet tones of Sara Mohr-Pietsch on Radio 3s Night Tracks. A typically eclectic musical pot pourri. Laurie Anderson with a Fado singer ohhh yes.

Just pre-ordered from Rough Trade.

Pretty sure this started out as the next Go Betweens album before grants sudden death. Three tracks were co written by Grant, Demon Days is a standout.

François Chaplin, Debussy Complete Piano works. Disques Pierre Verany, on Qobuz
I bought vol. 2 of this set in 2001 and it’s been one of my favourite versions of Préludes I and Masques ever since.
Try as I might, however, I was never able to find the other 5 CDs of the collection. Thanks to streaming, I can listen to them at last and the result is well worth the wait: Chaplin’s sense of rhythm and his phrasing are truly remarkable, surpassed only by Jean-Efflam Bavouzet’s IMO.
As usual with Pierre Verany records, sound quality is beyond reproach (Verany was a sound engineer before he started the label.)
