Gang Starr’s new album. Premier has bought Guru‘s voice back from the dead in a most excellent way.

Mostly a YouTube video of the Ghost gig in Cardiff on Friday night.

Took my two sons (12 and 10) and it was their first ever gig. Ghost were astonishingly good and some of the YouTube vids capture it very well.

Haven't heard them for years. I've got The Big Eye Am somewhere... must get it out. 

I had Fleetwood Mac's Kiln House on this morning. It's half laid back blues rock and half rock n roll standards. Enjoyed it though.

Lots and lots of The Police as I bought the current CD box set and have it in the car. 

It's certainly the answer to 'what would I use modulation pedals for?'

Across 6 CDs probably nearly 70 tracks. There is definitely filler and there is definitely some eccentricity - I feel that downloads pretty much killed off eccentricity on albums, no one was going on iTunes to pay to download tracks like Mother ( Andy Summers, I think, screaming lyrics over the top of a 12 bar in 7/4, I think).    

Lot of hummable tunes, the first two albums either are or cleverly sound like a very tight live band passing through a studio and really giving it some welly.

Bahramji & Swann, Hidden Treasure

No idea what this is about but it's super fun...

Listened to Sons And Fascination/Sister Feelings Call last night. Simple Minds were never my favourite band* but I truly believe the pulled it out of the hat for that one/two (depending on how you view it). Equal parts bonkers and brooding, it may be pretentious, but it's all the better for it.

Of course, it was all (exponentially) downhill from this point.

*understatement!

Grunfeld

Tom Day, Howqua

I don't know what the musical term is, (there probably isn't one), for the way the melody does what it does here.

But it's my favourite thing ever.

This is a piano, and it's doing it nice and slowly, and it's exactly what I hear my favourite guitarist ever, Michael Schenker, doing as he plays patterns and adds a note here and there.

It's like patterns with little variations.  It gets me every time.

It nice. Sounds pretty minimalist. Do you like Nils Frahm?/

Oh yeah.

Good call. 

Spotify suggests a lot of generic plinky plonky music for me, most of which I don't like.  Occasionally I'll hear something lovely and save it to a playlist.  Nils Frahm is nicely represented in those playlists.

Been listening to random Bhundu Boys tracks. Most of the band are long dead ( suicide and AIDS) but discovered today that Rise Kagona is still going and is based in Scotland. So, here’s a bit of him
