#ScrittiPolitti got our weekend off to a wonderful start. Looking forward to My New Band Believe and Caroline tonight.
Simon Scott@mrmarches.bsky.social · 3w agoAt the Rough Trade 50 celebrations in London and thought of you @spillersrecords.bsky.social !
On Eurostar. The weight of our luggage twice that compared to the outward journey.
#NowPlaying Not sure why I didn't buy the @hyperionrecords.bsky.social CDs at the time (probably because I have at least three recordings of each quartet) but at €70 from FNAC this week, it might be my best purchase of the year.
#NowPlaying Ordered from Bandcamp after enjoying his playing so much on the new Tyshawn Sorey album.
Our thoughts are with everyone who (like us) should have been travelling to Cardiff this afternoon to see #NeilYoung play his first ever gig in Wales.
On my way to Manchester. Did anyone out there catch John Hiatt in London last night? It's been over 20 years since I last saw him 😲
#NowPlaying A power pop classic. I know it's not, but I always think of this as his debut album. The first in a run of half a dozen great albums.
10 I have seen live: Tom Waits Laura Nyro Jeff Buckley Cecil Taylor Brian Wilson Jimmy Webb Gyorgy Kurtág Randy Newman Masada Kenny Wheeler
It's our 32nd Wedding Anniversary, so also remembering John Smith, whose death we heard about on the way to Wandsworth Registry Office.
On the train home from Swansea. Neath. Remembering Peter Hain, who should have been a Labour Prime Minister.
#WalkHerefordshire On today's walk I have passed a decorator named John Taylor, and Philip Minton, a carpenter!
The post has arrived. The Garro should nicely complement the latest #Cupertinos release. Delphian are a really interesting label but, at £21 for single CDs, I thought for a long time before ordering this!
#NowPlaying I have been listening to the My New Band Believe album for a couple of days, and now feel an urge to listen to #VanDykeParks PS: Who remembers Rykodisc? Put out some excellent re-issues in the 90s.
@deeplyclassical.bsky.social Virgin Classics really did put out some great Britten recordings in the late 80s/early 90s.
The (whisper it 🤫) three #NathanSalsburg albums were also collected, but will have to wait! I have wanted these for 18 months or so!!
#NowPlaying Last CD of the day. A first listen for Bill's new album which I picked up from @spillersrecords.bsky.social this afternoon. Well worth the wait.
#MikeWestbrook My first Westbrook album, purchased in an odd little shop in the Tricorn Centre in Portsmouth, when I was living in Chichester, in 1990, I think. I have no idea why I bought it, other than I recall it was a bargain. However, it started a lifelong love.
#NowPlaying How lucky we are to have this solo recording by Mike, along with Paris, recorded when he was 81 and 80 years of age respectively.
Ok. Most un-ECM ECM cover. I start the bidding with this one.
