Sometimes it’s hard to express how you feel: Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel ‘Timeless Flight’ - my fave Harley album comes from the start of his career dip. A great shame, because his art remained ripe and unique; Saxon ‘Thunderbolt’ - I’m backtracking this band’s albums having been well impressed with their last two original releases. This 2018 effort is up to their high standard. Hard hitting metal with no surprises, and that’s fine with me; Judas Priest ‘Stained Class’, ‘Killing Machine’ and ‘Invincible Shield’ - like Saxon, this band seems to get heavier with age. If I marginally prefer the older stuff it’s purely for nostalgia’s sake. The new album is truly blistering; Led Zeppelin S/T - sometimes the debut is all the Zep I need; Mogwai ‘As The Love Continues’ - this band gets better with each successive album. Soothing and intense in equal measure; Steve Winwood S/T - low key but quality solo debut from one of the UK’s finest rock talents. Anachronistic in 1977 maybe, but a groovy listen now. ‘Time Is Running Out’ is a lost gem; Simple Minds ‘Once Upon A Time’ - a decent album spoiled by typically 80s big drums and over-production that strains my lugs. The songwriting quality just about redeems it; Dave Brubeck Quartet ‘Brubeck Time’ & ‘Dave Digs Disney’ - I’ve dug Dave since I was a wee sprog and love him more than ever now, especially alongside the great Paul Desmond. Here are just two reasons why; John Taylor, Kenny Wheeler & Norma Winstone ‘Azimuth’ - 1977 debut by what was to become a regular ECM combo. I like this a lot, probably more now than I did way back when I thought drums had to be present; Handel: Concerti Grossi Op.6 nos.5, 10 & 12 (BPO/Herbert von Karajan) - anachronistic, over romantic, and glorious take on music that is now performed to sound as grating as possible; Brahms: Symphony no.3 (Staatskapelle Berlin/Daniel Barenboim) - the standout performance of Barenboim’s latest Brahms survey, and one of the finest Brahms Thirds I’ve ever heard; Bruckner: Symphony no.9 (BPO/Herbert von Karajan) - there are times that music becomes so goddamned intense that it knocks me sideways. That happened when I listened to this, its first movement in particular. My bus companions must have thought I was having a fit; Bach: Keyboard Concerto no.1 in D minor, BWV 1052 (Ashkenazy/LSO/Zinman) - more inauthentic and delightful baroquerie from one of Ashkenazy’s first records. Time is running out. Love to all Dave x

Not many of the half decent smaller bands I like come near Brum these days, esp bands Like Wooden Shjips or Moon Duo, just too epensive for them to tour the UK, plus all the visa regs too, guess it's too much hassel.

Yes me few and far between - the Cure over a year ago (mostly on account of my eldest being a big Cure fan), Van Der Graaf Generator over two years ago (re-scheduled from Covid) and Copey before Covid. Prior to that not much really in the 2010s, more Copey and some Mike Heron with Trembling Bells...

In the years before covid there'd be a gig or two a month, Shellac, Wooden Shjips, Future of the Left, Cult of Dom Keller, AMT, Orb are some standouts that come to mind. Do miss a good gig. The Orb came around a few months back, but couldn't really afford the £40 quid ticket price for a relatively small venue (plus, wasn't so much enamoured of the most recent release truth be told).

Fuuuck! your lists are on fire at the mo. Been long put off decorating meself, so the nearest devices are just left to shuffle away with the usual hit and miss results. I went mooching through youtube a few weeks ago watching the various live versions of Bela cross the years, all pretty tight as far as I recall. Don't think they will be touring again though, Murphy is forever pulling shenanagans on tour, or getting sick and they've all said they've had enough. Coupla fun covers I stumbled across whilst on the mooch. Laid back country picker, a kind of OAP White stripes ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PfBTYsdd5GQ And a nice covid effort with legit Slavic accents... Date at Midnight - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PzBd-rvHTMA
