    This is the latest single by Philly Heartland Rockers, The War on Drugs from their forthcoming album of the same name, I Don't Live Here Anymore...

    How could I not love a band who list XTC, Squeeze, Hüsker Dü and Elvis Costello as influences?. They are The Posies who came out of Seattle around the same time as Grunge did but they play in a more melodic Power Pop style and are still around now.
    This is their fantastic and very heartfelt tribute to the late, great Grant Hart...

    How about Alice in Chains with Chris Cornell and Mark Arm doing what they all do (or did) best?

    I just found this band on Bandcamp and was completely knocked out by them. Cloud of I is the soul child of Yuli Shafiri, an Iraqi-Jewish/Latvian/Lithuanian from Tel Aviv, and they rock.

    Shamefully late, but Pee Wee Ellis, a giant of jazz, funk, and soul music, died last week at the age of 80. In his time he was musical director for both James Brown and Van Morrison, as well as composing many songs and teaching my mate John to play sax.
    This was him at Ronnie Scott’s:

    And here playing a great sax solo with Van the Man:

    And possibly his best-known song, with Mr Brown:


    RIP Alfred James “Pee Wee” Ellis 1941 - 2021 <rose>

    Here are my favourite tracks from a reimagining of The Velvet Underground & Nico by various artists that has just been released...

    I'll give the album a listen when I've cleared up the wedding anniversary (10th) and birthday brunch (72nd). A shot of Tia Maria in the mug of coffee recommended for these occasions.

    Stumbled across this cracker playing some swing dance for Mrs Jab

    This followed sounds like Joe Cocker.

    Just heard about the sad passing of Southampton's very own Greg Gilbert, lead singer, lead guitarist.and songwriter of Delays at the age of 44 from bowel cancer. He had a distinctive falsetto voice and the first album Faded Seaside Glamour is criminally underrated IMO with many wonderful songs.

    R.I.P. Greg...<rose>

    Guys - I'm outta here for a couple of weeks from tomorrow, but please make sure you tune in to Chris Hawkins' daytime 6Music show on Thursday (1-4) to hear the world premiere of Fable's new single, Guilt Of The Act.

    It's out the following day, so please do save it to your Spotify/Apple/Deezer whatever service.

    Thanks! It's a cracker, and a bit of a departure from her norm!

    Here's a decent break down of The Who's groundbreaking classic album, The Who Sell Out...
