“Have enough courage to trust love one more time, always one more time.” “And when it’s done, And all this is gone, Just find the feeling, pass it on.”
Having replied about the power pop element to this playlist, after having a proper good listen, it’s really much more than that…much more of the range of Beatles sounds, particularly the Across the Universeisms of the The Aerovons Resurrection. A really lovely listen…

In the mid 90s, John Barry took a plane journey to the south of France to spend a couple of weeks fishing & drinking wine with the reclusive Kevin Ayers. Together they penned this beautiful sunlit beauty. In my head anyway… Marden Hill - Bardot youtu.be/T3h_BflAmzs?si…

Sad news. Just heard about the passing of DMZ/Lyres singer & keyboard player Jeff Conolly RIP. Saw Lyres supporting REM at a scintillating gig at Lyceum Theatre, Dec ‘84. At 17, first standing gig I attended, & Jeff’s wild performance knocked me sideways youtu.be/57NvGCUPL5s?si…

I particularly love the theme to The Sweeney. It has just the right level of excitement for the programme to come and then you get the melancholy version over the closing credits.
Best theme tune out of these… The Family Ask The Family World In Action The Persuaders Ace Of Wands

Wow! Amazing. This Gilles Peterson set was a real favourite that I played constantly…still do. Stevie Wonder’s ‘All I Do’ into Pharoah & on through to John Klemmer’s ‘Free Soul’ was a particular highlight of the set… @gillespeterson.bsky.social

All the Steely Dan bashing t’other day, & barely a mention of the song Aja, a stunning piece, with phenomenal performances from Wayne Shorter & Steve Gadd, to name but two. Smug musos?

Bob Seger rarely played the UK, but last time he played here - 1980! - he put down one helluva set. Anybody out there at that gig? Here’s a playlist of the show with a handful of extra tracks thrown in for good measure… Wembley Arena 1980, plus… open.spotify.com/playlist/3Wb9c…
Bill Oddie. Yes, he was a Goodie, how I first encountered him as a kid. But he's also the man behind this wonderfully atmospheric beat ballad I stumbled upon on 7" in 1990. For fans of Bowie's first album on Dream, or Scott Walker, or Dusty Springfield's Where Am I Going. youtu.be/SfSG8dP4Yzo?...
