Listening today to Saturday and yesterday's acquisitions, I found myself along at Dalry at lunchtime and sprang for a collection by childhood faves, The Seekers at the BHF along there...


Plus this, previously unowned physically, debut disc by Tay Tay...


Nearby, in the Cat's Protection shop, this classic by Love, which I must confess never to have properly listened to before - it's different from what I expected...


Back home, the final title from the recent reasonably cheap CD on Amazon trawl, a reasonably impressive Frenchman...


...and this from a few years back now - like Yello without Dieter Meier - Malia sang with them at their 2017 gigs in Berlin - the only time the group have played live...


Tasty...

As were the excellent Mexican delights for tea from the hand of the Exec Producer, following on from her Sea Bass fillets last night - it's like going to a great restaurant every night...

In "Holby", Dr Dom's real mum was revealed in a pot twist that can only ever happen in a soap...

But, hey ho - and Petrenko seems to have finally exited...

Booo...

Lights out...

Highlight of the Day : Mexican delights for tea...

A little surprised you've not listened to Forever Changes but, having said that it leads me to my own (interesting I think) query about what famous or infamous albums you've never actually listened to or what famous acts or artists you've never really listened to. In my case this would be the Clash, Leonard Cohen, James Taylor, John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Eric Clapton and only about 50% of Yes and Genesis. Am I alone in this?

I imagine everyone is in the same (but different) boat. After all we can't all listen to everything. There are only two kinds of music. That which you like and that which you don't. It's completely subjective. Sometimes, given time and attention, something can pass from the latter to the former, often via the badgering of a chum... Rush is a case in point for me. The Incredible String Band is not...
