YouTube video by Simply Red - Topic Money's Too Tight (To Mention) (Recollections 2025)

From 'Recollections: 40 Years of Simply Red' Hits re-recorded. Sound very close to originals with some slight variation but still enjoyable on some level in their own right with no quality subtraction.

Learning To Swim, by Patrick Wray 20 track album

Thanks @ikjoyce.bsky.social & @audioobscura.bsky.social for recalling my 2020 Project album. 'Learning to Swim'. 20 songs all 20 secs long. Flash pop fiction, perfect for dwindling attention spans.
20x20project.bandcamp.com/album/learni...

'that prit stick track was genius' A great testimonial! I sometimes think of doing 30 songs all 30 seconds long but I think 20 secs was a good timing huh!

A more developed version of that song I collaborated on with a friend is in the works.

Ace album title. No-one seems to pick up on that the production, styling of this vid/song is v tongue in cheek. Taking the mickey out of established artists bandwagon jumping to keep up with hip beats and hats. Still....
