I endorse this so much. A song can be great in many ways just on its own terms, but don't cheat yourself of the extra power a song can gain from the context of the album it's on - or the way the whole can be more than the sum of its parts.

Gelli Haha - Switcheroo (Innovative Leisure) - God Is In The TV There’s debut albums, and then there’s Switcheroo β€” a record so vivid, it feels like Gelli Haha has been building this world (the β€˜gelliverse’) for a lifetime.

Happy release day to Gelli Haha 'Switcheroo' out on Innovative Leisure.

Add this to your summer playlist. "It's wild, unfiltered joy and never claims to be anything else. We love it."

Brian Wilson, Songwriter and Leader of the Beach Boys, Dies at 82 A hitmaker elevated and burdened by the label of genius, he transcended the breezy surf genre to create complex harmonies and intricate soundscapes in the studio.

The maestro has passed - the man was a open heart with two legs - with an ear that heard the angels. Quite literally. Love and Mercy for you and yours tonight .
RIP Brian.

Just over two months ago, I had well over 2000 copies of this book in my house. I now have around 300. If you'd like one for the price of postage (plus a bit extra if you can afford it but no problem if not) please let me know this week.

After that, the rest will be given to libraries & charities.

FESTIVAL REPORT: Echo Three Fest - God Is In The TV Echo Three Fest begins slowly. It’s mid-afternoon, and the unexpected May sunshine has that strangely Scandinavian quality - like it’s been through

Went to Stockholm this weekend. Joined a cult.

Hello! I'm giving away 20 (20!) signed paperbacks of this book to the first people to reply to this post. Stephen Fry called it "enchanting" and "hilarious" but some people hate it & that's all cool & what happens with books. Limiting this to UK (but happy to send outside if you can cover postage)..
