The Moody Blues - Days of future passed

RIP Ray Thomas

Fuck, when did he die? One of my favourite bands.

couple of weeks back. only found out myself the other day when I heard it on the last word radio 4.

great band. often ridiculed because of the lyrics (certainly the poetry) but for me one of very few prog rock bands that I really love. also I set their song The Voyage/Have you head to footage back in college for an assignment. did the same with Go Now a few years later.

I don’t think they were ever accepted, in the wake of the prog rock giants but a great catalogue of music/albums.

Even good to trip too;)

Shame - Songs of Praise - its good to hear a young bad with a bit of energy, anger and intelligence.

More Adventurous - Rilo Kiley

Had a bit of a Frightened Rabbit/Owl John overload last few days. Best album of course being The midnight organ fight.

Listening to a fair bit of Neil Diamond today, triggered by the sad news of his illness and retirement.

A legend and one of the greatest songwriters of his generation.

Saw him at Earls Court about 15 years ago, one of the best concerts I’ve been to.

Just bought Lament by Einsturzende Neubaten. Enjoying it. One of my favourite bands.

This is the kit - before going to watch them at The Glee club tonight.

Mozart - Coronation Mass K317 (more properly, Mass No. 15 in C major, but it's easiest to find Mozart works by the Kochel numbers):

John Cale - Heartbrake hotel retake.
Of the 'Fragments of a rainy day' Album

The Fall - Live At The Witch Trials.

Sonny Landreth, must be one of the best ever guitarists.

Cale is great. Another whacked out version:https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=AHF7b326ydg

Snoring plus dodgy heating system in a crap bnb in Blackpool

I'm currently rediscovering a beautiful series called Piano Jazz with longtime host Marian McPartland. For NPR in the States (somewhat equivalent to the BBC I guess), she did lots of hour-long shows with up-and-coming or established jazz musicians and they talked about life, music, and all sorts.

It's like Desert Island Discs, but only with musicians, and they just decide to play a few tunes every so often. Currently listening to the Roy Hargrove one (thankfully this was likely recorded before he got too strung out on heroin/crack or whatever he does, which is tragic):

A short list of ones that I'd recommend:

- Norah Jones
- Bill Evans (very technical - some mad shit in there, great if you're a musician)
- Hiromi
- Oscar Peterson (both of them)
- Brad Mehldau
- Harry Connick Jr
- Alicia Keys(!)
- Michel Petrucciani

A much more comprehensive list is available here, but I don't know how many are still online. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piano_Jazz#Program_log:_guest_list
