Just finished reading #TheMidnightLibrary" by @matthaig.bsky.social
which my son bought me for Christmas.

Enjoyed every moment of it..
the literary equivalent of a hug 🤗

Back in the studio working on the new @tikiblacktunes record

and very cool to be joined by @EganStonier on violin and viola.

Gonna be a special album.
& getting more special by the day ❤️

Very sad that #TomRobbins has passed.

I read him non-stop in the 90s - he was a one-off and his work crackled and fizzed with personality and the love of life.

("Even Cowgirls Get The Blues" especially
lingers)

RIP Tom ❤️

Sad day

"Let us not bow our heads
For we won't be complaining
Life has been good to us all
Even when that sky is raining"

Rest In Peace sir ❤️❤️

And nor should you Jules!
It's me who's a bit quirky on this kind of things.

To everything there is a season etc etc 🙄

(Though I suspect we both agree "Shore" is an autumn album right?)

My fave winter night albums

JOHN CALE Paris 1919

ELLIOT SMITH Either Or

DILLON This Silence Kills

PORTISHEAD - Dummy

RICHARD THOMPSON Henry The The Human Fly (especially The Poor Ditching Boy)

TIM BUCKLEY Goodbye & Hello

Now playing @lowtheband.bsky.social
'Christmas'.

Tinged with a profound sadness since Mimi's passing but sheesh what a beautiful legacy she left for the season..
& her version of 'Blue Christmas' is unequalled.

What an album - timeless & divine.

Remembering Mimi
Love to Alan ❤️

Happy #WinterSolstice one and all

Love and light 🌞

'This is the solstice,
the still point of the sun,
its cusp and midnight,
the year’s threshold and unlocking, where the past lets go of
and becomes the future'

Yup.. me too 😊

Speaking for myself, a lot of my fave people, and main responders, friends, retweeters etc are still 'on the other side' which is why I haven't closed my account ..

I don't think the music community (or at least the one I engage with) are over here yet,
I reckon it'll just be a slow build Nige!

Thanks to @assistantband.bsky.social
I have new jangle pop friends!

So..a list of faves

1 Here's Where You Belong - West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band

2 Cynical Girl - Marshall Crenshaw

3 You & Me - Tiger Trap

4 I Am The Cosmos - Chris Bell

5 Back To The Light - Teenage Fanclub

#JanglePop

I know the spirit of this thread is just to post, not to explain or qualify ..

but if ever a book spoke to me, galvanised me ..
its the Tao Te Ching.

Spiritual and quietly life changing.
I rarely leave home without it ❤️❤️
