Esbjörn Svensson Trio – Eighty-Eight Days in My Veins 8 minutes from a Swedish jazz trio, oh noooooooooooo, Dorothy, grab the coats. But, later, I discover they have “a distinct pop sensibility” and are “unfailingly melodic” so maybe that’s why, once hooked, I stuck with them to the end and started looking for more stuff on Utube. Something pleasantly dark and relentless going on here, that a Garbarek/Jarrett/Gustavsen lover can get the teeth into. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RUaWIETN zVk&t=59s | ||

The Waterboys - The Whole Of The Moon. I've loved this song since I first heard it in 1985. Back then I didn't realise how much it owed to Prince, though it seems so obvious now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TON3POR RDQ | ||

The Loons - Head In The Clouds. I can’t find it it on YouTube. You’re just going to have to take my word that’s it’s great. | ||

Totorro – Gérard Blast Giorgio the barman, a cool guy with eclectic tastes, was playing some nice instrumental guitar music over the speakers last night as he tidied up outside so I hung around to listen a bit: turned out to be a band from Rennes, which I wasn’t expecting. Sort of giddy Feelies-type sound without the vocals and highly enjoyable. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfLlZHGf Mdo | ||

About Aphrodite - Nash. Not showing up on YouTube so you’ll, again, have take my word of it. I’m calling it space age prog jazz. It’s good uneasy listening. | ||

The most charming cover of a Go-Betweens song I’ve ever heard, by a friend of the board and his 10 and 8 year old nephews and nieces. https://soundcloud.com/user861573653/rig ht-here?ref=clipboard&p=i&c=1&si=BAA2381 C4BBA44BBA5E8ADF7DB811332&utm_source=cli pboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=soci al_sharing | ||

"what be a DB?" Une BD = Une bande dessinée. Don't know why, but it always sounds really clumsy to say "graphic novel" in English  It's an art-form that's been taken seriously in Francophone countries for a long time. I'm incredibly lazy about reading in French and it's an easy access to the language for me. | ||

Love the Go-Bees cover Pádraig. The kids added a nice element of rubato to the final line of the chorus. | ||

Pádraig, that's fantastic. It's left me smiling and crying in equal measure! | ||

And in memory of Jim Gordon (https://www.theguardian.com/music/2023/m ar/16/jim-gordon-session-drummer-on-doze ns-of-hits-such-as-layla-dies-aged-77) I'm going for Different Drum by Linda Ronstadt and the Stone Poneys for my song of the day: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9qsDgA1 q8Y (This isn't to minimise the fact that Gordon killed his mother, but I think - or at least I'd like to think - that today his mental health issues would have been picked up before the psychotic episode that led to him killing his mother.) | ||

The Jim Gordon story is a tragic one indeed Simon. I recently read an interview with Bobby Whitlock, his band mate in Derek and the Dominoes in the early 70s, and it's clear Gordon had signficant mental health problems then. His schizoprhenia went undiagonosed and untreated for at least a decade. His erratic behaviour was probabaly put down to his rock'n'roll lifestyle. As you say, hopefully he would be diagnosed/treated sooner these days. I wasn't aware he played on Different Drum. But reading the obits I'm astonished at just how many famous recordings he was involved with in the 60s and 70s. | ||

U2 - Stories For Boys, Songs Of Surrender version. I’m streaming the album right now and finding myself vastly moved by it, which I really did not expect. It’s 40 U2 songs stripped down and rerecorded. | ||

I know Jim Gordon's name as the drummer on zillions of 1960s Hollywood/Los Angeles productions. His credit is on so many productions that I imagine he was shuttling from studio to studio full time for at least a half dozen years. I didn't know about his later history including schizophrenia. Usually that condition manifests in a person's 20s. For that matter I didn't know he was part of Derek & the Dominoes but that wasn't really my sort of music to keep track of. Off to read the Guardian article . . . . | ||

Drive-By Truckers - Shake And Pine. I wish they’d played a better show when I saw them in a small bar in front of a tiny crowd in Austin in March 2001. That delayed my liking of them by at least a decade until Rob and someone else on this board belatedly turned me onto their extravagant talents. | ||

Chumbawamba's Tubthumping performed by Choir! Choir! Choir! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0THx8AO DMM I met Chumbawamba in December 1987 when they performed at the Longacre Hall, Bath, where I was working as an admin assistant (one of my favourite jobs ever). They were lovely and friendly! Other bands I saw the year I worked there included Ozric Tentacles, Amebix and the American punk band Rhythm Pigs. I remember them for being very thrashy and having much better teeth than British punk band members! | ||

That’s a great description of the difference between American and British punk bands - better teeth. | ||

The Korgis - If I Had You A live version from a decade ago with a very modest introduction. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KV5XCNua Ibo Another song with a Bath connection - I'm a local boy at heart and I've got a theme running here - but it's a lovely reminder of being young! And it's held up very well, though that may be Sergei Rachmaninoff's influence, of course... | ||
