Just been listening to Crime of the Century (Supertramp)..... for the first time in a long while. How flippin' good is that album? [if you don't know (and you're of a certain vintage), then do yourself a favour, and listen to it.  ]Yes, you’re Bloody Well Right! |

I can see why you'd need to be totally hammered to listen to Pink Floyd  |

I can see why you'd need to be totally hammered to listen to Pink Floyd In theory I should love Pink Floyd but on the few times I've tried I just can't hack it. Too sober probably. |

I can see why you'd need to be totally hammered to listen to Pink Floyd I've never found it remotely necessary, though there is a huge range of styles in their offerings - I find 'Several species of small furry animals gathered together in a cave & grooving with a Pict' can almost bring on a mild trip on it's own! |

The album that has the same effect for me is Dark Side of the Moon for similar reasons, again from around 40 years ago. I had a friend at college who had a great house. They had a pool and a sauna and we used to go there, swim in the pool, have a sauna, have a few beers, smoke some weed and listen to that album, lol. Can remember being totally wasted and being woken up by Time! That album too, Nige! In fact, now I think about it, in those days most albums were involved in getting a bit wrecked. |

At least for songs that came out in 2022 I rather like this one, 'Hero Man' by PVA

A CD called "Lady Sings the Blues". Bought for a dollar in Thailand some years ago. A compilation of, obviously, female artists (all "big names") singing blues numbers. It's long been very close to my number 1 !!

This afternoon's milking will be accompanied by something on the BBC sounds app. Same will go for tomorrow. The last thing anyone who is working Christmas day wants is a load of Christmas records.

Possibly somewhat of an anomaly, a New Orleans street band, all white players including two girls, evidently quite popular in they're own field, they've also toured Europe |

Only discovered Sigor Ros in the last couple of years but very impressed.
Apart from that, got a scottish tv channel music from the sixties on. Highlight so far, Eric Burden and the Animals - House of the Rising Sun. At 10 years old I had never heard anything remotely like it.
Currently playing, The Stones - This is the Evening of the Day.

I find myself listening to Radio 3 when I turn in. Light off, radio on low and playing something interesting that I haven't heard before.

Ágætis byrjun is one of the few albums that I consider to be perfect. Love it, and only listen to it as an album, in order. |
