So what are you listening to at the moment?

Saw Dr Feelgood last night. Wasn't sure what to expect as there are no original members left, but they were absolutely fantastic. Robert Kane is a great singer and the guitarist Gordon Russell was brilliant.

To be fair, they are no fly-by-night outfit. Russell has played with the band on and off since 1983, as have the bass player and the drummer. Kane joined in 1999.

The Cluny is a great little venue. Was stood beside a well-known local news broadcaster, was a bit surreal to see him bopping away

The BBC is looking for the ultimate Madonna song: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/MQhbhvdy9PkqMC33d1R9My/vote-for-your-ultimate-madonna-song

My 5 votes, in chronological order:
-Like a Virgin
- Material Girl
- Like a Prayer
- Vogue
- Frozen

I like the Evita stuff but I don't class them as Madonna songs.

This could also be under the Things that Gladden the Heart thread

Picked up new on vinyl for £8 from my now favourite shop…Soul II Soul Vol II 1990 - A New Decade

It might be 30+ yrs old, and maybe back then I just didn’t really get R&B with a bit of funk and soul thrown in, but this is just soooo good. Nice and loud…

Best of 81-89. Need to look into later stuff.

You've moved on from 8 track then...?

Right at this very moment…Schumann’s Piano Concerto…

I have always placed Beethoven’s 5th followed by Mozart’s 21st and Rachmaninov 2nd at top of my fave piano concertos…but listening to Schumann’s for the first time, I have a problem…as it’s sublime.

9. The Ballad Of Darren by Blur
8. Hollow by The Handsome Family
7. My Back Was A Bridge For You To Cross by Anohni & The Johnsons

Loved it! The band was good too.
Just a shame there were no close ups of him and band members.

Another Cracker.

Last night, 47 years & 2 days after its release I gave the following a good blast. To my mind, Wind & Wuthering is their best album.

Happy Rush Day 21/12.
A good excuse to repost this.....

I’ve all of a sudden got into high quality jazz

If only Rush had a singer who didn’t sound like he was having his balls squeezed, they’d be a band I listen to then
