There’s magic in the Night

I haven’t listened to TISM in years! See them live in the 90s at a pub in Perth. It was a great night.

11/2: a song your parents liked

My mum is really into music, so I have a tonne to choose from. I grew up listening to all sorts because of her. I think it’s had an impact! She really likes the Everly Brothers.

A definite 👍 for me. They’re likely all I’ll listen to for days after the gig as well.

Oh, it’s definitely my least favourite although I haven’t really listened to the BillyVox stuff so can’t compare.

I’m on the hunt for Brilliant on vinyl. I didn’t expect to like that one as much as I did. Maybe Warren Cann’s drumming made all the difference 😂

Cooking our dinner with this lovely recent addition to my collection.

U-vox, even 🤦🏼‍♀️

I don’t think U-box is as dire as others do. I think there’s a few decent tracks on it, but it’s nowhere near the quality of the other albums. The style is so different. The best song on it is All Fall Down, which I think sounds more like a Midge track than an Ultravox one. I like Brilliant, though.

Last up, not Ultravox but Midge’s first solo album. I admit that I don’t love it, but it has a few great tracks on it.

It really is. I saw reference to a review that said the first half of side B is weak. That’s Mr X and Western Promise - honestly what was that reviewer on??

Part 3 of Ultravox day. I’ve listened to Quartet a lot lately so I’ve moved right to Lament. I’d forgotten what a great song White China is! And that’s just the first track.

10/2: a song you can’t stand

Sorry. I fucking hate it.

Oh my god, I’m 13 again! I loved this song!

Got the Ultravox spinning today. This album: not a bad track on it.

Enjoy the moment 🤗

Bought this on a whim last week and finally having a listen. Some bloody decent tracks on there, starting with an old favourite from the Straits.

Such a great song that I had forgotten about until today. This is why I love these music challenges. You find new things and are re-introduced to old favourites.
