Loving this ‘working from home’ thing!

Thanks for putting the link up. In the Car Wheels shows I caught in the UK a couple of references were made to how much fun it is to play ‘rawk’, so the prospect of a couple of loud & dirty 2020 releases excites me. The book would be the cherry on top.

Well, never knew that! Every day’s a school day, though this looks like a very dangerous rabbit hole you’ve just presented to me.

Always thought Caution Horses was under-rated on account of its predecessor. ‘Cos Cheap Is How I Feel has to be a contender for my favourite Junkies track!

I recently picked up a couple of Blue Note ‘Tone Poet Series’ releases: Lee Morgan & Lou Donaldson. Superb quality pressings, so if that’s a concern & they match your tastes then have a look at their catalogue. Dunno how they would pan out price wise in SA, £30 here, tho’ I got mates rates here so £50 for the pair. Nice....... Must confess I get a bit a bit p’d off with all the 180g/ltd edition coloured vinyl for a premium price - it’s bull. They are bought to play so just give me good, clean black pressings and I’ll be happy to pay around the £20 - £25 mark.

Likewise, but these are the only Beatles albums currently on my phone, I had a long drive and I felt in a Beatles frame of mind, so why not?

Pleasantly surprised by the new Chrissie Hynde record, and also The Imperial. Sheryl Crow? Not so much. Palominos an old favourite from way back when.

Came late to ‘Til Tuesday, and kinda lost touch since The Forgotten Arm record. Need to put that right.
