Still listening to rock music, but more blues stuff. A customer of mine has borrowed me Walter Trout CDs and John Mayall too, brilliant musicians. Him and his missus are gutted though as they had bought tickets for the Foo Fighters in June at Villa Park.
Nirvana were booked to play Villa Park (or maybe Villa leisure centre), when Kurt Cobain died.
The moral of the story is, if you're in a band with Dave Grohl and they get booked to play in Aston, get a new job!
I think after ten years of being overplayed on a certain website, a reappraisal of this song is needed.
If you have never heard this song before, where have you been?

This!!
I absolutely adore this. It just washes over you and you float away with its sheer beauty.
What a fabulous song.

Anyone catch the Sparks documentary in Netflix?
I loved them when they first came out and then they had one or two duff records and I sort of give up on them. I had no idea they changed their style so much over the years and with each and every album. Brought me to mind of Bowie.
Anyway, I came across an album of theirs through the film, which is Called Lil Beethoven. Apparently it got tremendous critical acclaim at the time (2002), but I had never heard of it.
Having heard some of the tracks in the film, I decided to check it out and I now think it is one of the greatest albums ever.
It's described as the Sparks' own Kid A and it's unlike anything else.
It's a stunning album I think, with not one single duff track on it.

Playing in a field in Derbyshire in May.
Can't fucking wait!
Just got a couple of tickets for Arcade Fire in Brum on 2nd September…fingers crossed city are at home on the 3rd!
The story behind this is quite astonishing.

Listening to these. Actually also put this song on the Godiva Festival thread, as these are playing on the Saturday.
Pretty decent. 1.7m views too, so I am guessing they are or were very popular.
