Up at 6:25, after relistening to some Mick Ronson, which closed off last night, and, to writing this...
For a couple of days now, I've not made any notes, which makes it harder to recall what happened...
My discipline is rubbish but at least I'm writing it...
And taking blurry pics of the work station...
Tweeted my Top 20 for 1983
Ooft - all these records are 40 years old this year...
Even worse though, is that all of these are 50 years old!
Anne was off out shopping with her mum, who has not been too great for quite a few weeks now but, today, appears to have turned a corner, so that's great news...
While Anne was gone, I did some tidying in the living room re a box we keep under the shelves of CDs and books...
I found these lists of fave music in September 2015 from Olly and Kitty...
Here's Kitty's - most of which, she advised this morning, she would probably still listen to...
...and here's Olly's...
He very kindly sent me an up to date list this afternoon, of which I have only heard of one...
A compilation opportunity beckons perhaps...
Two episodes of "The Black List" again at lunch time, accompanied by the left overs of last night's risotto for me...
Late afternoon, I was in the back room enjoying some Vivaldi from Argentinian cellist, Sol Gabetta, who features on one of the Hélène Grimaud LPs downloaded last night...
Delightful...
I was below the blinds...
Some good discoveries today...
I don't know how I came across them, probably just surfing around on Youtube but there's an excellent covers band out there called Scary Pockets - which is actually just two guys, both seasoned professionals, one of whom is Patreon founder, Jack Conte, with various guests on each track...
They've done what seems like hundreds of covers since 2017...
The motto of the band is, “Arrange quickly and simply, have a ton of fun, and be funky.."
Indeed, they turn every song they do, funky...
I compiled a list of 25, mostly songs Capital Models do, or which I have done in the past, plus a couple I'd like to, and including their latest, only released today, Taylor Swift's "Anti-Hero"...
Then, as I listened back to that, a chance Tweet led me to some American jazz writers' poll of the best jazz albums of 2022...
There were 200 nominations in all, of 130 different LPs, of which I already had 17 and added a further 4 this afternoon, plus a couple of back catalogue things from people well-mentioned of whom I had not heard but could not locate the 2022 LPs in question...
In all, I obtained some 12 LPs but, on listening back, rejected half of them...
Which is fair enough, I can't like everything...
On delving further into the site which hosted the poll, belonging to one Tom Hull, I found an extraordinary source of tips re new jazz...
Which, in turn led to even more new music being downloaded - all, this time, retained...
This evening then, pre a 125 score on "University Challenge", I enjoyed this funky item as I washed a mountain of dishes...
...and, post both "UC" and "Silent Witness", this and another new title were found to be suitably "far out, man" for my tastes...
All in all an excellent day for new music...
Highlight of the Day : Jazz discoveries...
