The greatest live performer I've ever seen. RIP the incomparable D'Angelo.

51 is way too young. Hard to think of many artists who were as influential across genres in the past 30 years as D'Angelo. RIP.

I miss Bojack 😢

Thanks as always.
What are we doing next? Album club?

“Uh-oh, overflow, population ‘common food, but it’ll do’, save yourself, serve yourself, world serves its own needs—listen to your heart bleed, dummy with the raptured and the revered and the right, right”

And let it be said I’m of the lets eat grandma school of punctuation, so

A selection of illustrations and commissions including an album cover design of a vintage radio, a book cover design with an illustration of George Harrison, architecture illustrations, a Listening Party turntable design, a music pattern design and a photo of me wearing glasses.

If I’m being honest, I’m feeling pretty crap about my small business.

It’s so bloody difficult at the moment with rising costs, US tariffs, Brexit nonsense and the threat of AI.

Please have a look at what I do and repost to spread the word gailmyerscough.co.uk

Nice piece Tim. Loved the boiler analogy and the Tribe reference. Now it's time for a bit of Luck of Lucien.

I finally got around to listening to this on the way home today. It's wonderful how broadly optimistic you all were. Amazing to think less than a week later large parts of the fan base think we're now doomed, and this after a win at Old Trafford! Arsenal online in a nutshell.

Hi Richard. Great to have you back. Mine aren't exactly original but I've been listening for over 30 years!
Bob Dylan : Highway 61 Revisited
The Beatles: The White Album
Bob Dylan : The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan
The Beatles: Beatles For Sale
Nick Drake : Five Leaves Left
Cheers

Blue Rev would like a word!

For a while this summer, it seemed like Arsenal, Gyokeres and Sesko were in some kind of bizarre love triangle.... Awesome. Barney would be proud!

People think money has ruined football but the sight of a rapist dictator standing next to a corrupt football official in front of a big gold trophy at a competition bankrolled by Saudi Arabia reminds me the game still belongs to us.

The shift in fidelity at around 1:45, hot damn.

Playing loose with virtue wins no hearts, and Arsenal should know better | Jonathan LIew The club trumpet their moral creed but the lengths to which they were willing to champion one of their own demands answers

this week’s column is on arsenal and thomas partey.

Great post Andrew. Feel so angry with the club I love today. How we never got rid of him the first window after the initial arrest I'll never understand. But much further than that trying to extend his contract is disgusting. I'm glad they got blindsided.

YouTube video by NPR Music Gillian Welch & David Rawlings: Tiny Desk Concert

Very hard to think of a greater sound in music today when you watch Welch & Rawlings playing together like this. 14 years since they last played London, I think; October can't come soon enough. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfGd...

Hi Richard. So much fun as always. Here you go, placings were hard and to be honest fairly arbitrary as it's all amazing music...
The Beatles : Rubber Soul
The Beatles: Sergeant Pepper
The Band : The Band
Otis Redding : Otis Blue
The Byrds : Sweetheart of the Rodeo
