First gig of the year was pretty special:
* Park, obviously. Thank you, bizarre auto-correct
Love this song. They played it at Hyde Sparky’s for the Olympics thingy in 2012 , which has the audacity to be 13 and a half years ago…
YES!
Blackadder The Third, but all have their merits.
Also discovered/rediscovered lots of great records doing this which are not mentioned below..which is kind of the point really isn’t it.

Great article too.
Re-watched this over the last week. Had forgotten how sad it is. Peter Vaughan incredible. What a cast and great writing.
It was 30 years ago today that BBC Two transmitted the opening episode of Our Friends in the North - one of the greatest television dramas the BBC has ever made.
For the anniversary, I've been down to Caversham to take a look through the show's files and explore some of the tales they tell...
Listened to this yesterday..still sounds like the future.
10 years since we lost Bowie. Can we all agree that the world has gone to hell in a handcart since that day?
This Bowie doc is a bit all over the shop
Surprised Distance In Between didn’t make it - thought that was your favourite. With you on Butterfly House though!
This will be tough….Fortunately, as well as some classic debut albums, a few of my my favourites released average records straight out the traps before they really got going…which eases it a little. Only a little mind!

Somehow managed to repeatedly miss this when it’s been on before. Wonderfully atmospheric, and the twist is brilliant.
Love this too. Best since Van Occupanther.
