I love Paddy McAloonā€™s writing. This classic album from 1985 was a stunning piece of work, how could it ever be improved? Well for the remixed reissue in 2007 Paddy McAloon recorded 8 acoustic versions of his songs which, it could be argued did just thatā€¦this is one of my favouritesā€¦ [![](https://discourse-sotonians-uploads.s3.dualstack.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/original/3X/d/6/d6ce7b8c84fd0d4ed5b7fdbd4b0e0294a2dd3e79.jpeg "Desire As (Acoustic)") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1pZ7NPCCHzM) ---

Thanks to a video game Iā€™ve been playing, I have discovered a genre called Electro Swing. Itā€™s 1920s sounds with 21st century electronic beats and itā€™s a lot of fun. This little ear-worm has been living in my lugholes for a couple of weeks.

If Iā€™d heard this version of Hejira before I would have remembered it. You can take it, this live version was new to me this week. It was recorded at an Amnesty International Benefit in 1986 to a hostile audience who had been expecting a succession of heavy rock. Joni shut them up with an intensity foreign to modern mega starsā€¦they donā€™t come close.

One of my guilty pleasures is American Idol In the sandpit we never got any of the UK alternatives back in the noughties. We fell in love with the show when Scotty McCreery won and became a huge C&W star. It has certainly declined in its levels since Brian May & Queen met (and sang with runner up that year - Adam Lambert - instead of Queen this year we got Houtie & the Blowfish. Anyway this year Abi Carter won her audition was Billy Eilish and was stunning. But she also sang this, one of THE most difficult songs to cover(and one which Eric, Mrs P\_F & I saw performed live before causing the band to miss their flight to Beirutā€¦ She knocked this outta the park [![](https://discourse-sotonians-uploads.s3.dualstack.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/original/3X/0/b/0b32c6bda922eeb0a96fc965552ccf3bbcc3f167.jpeg "Abi Carter Impresses With "Bring Me To Life" - American Idol 2024") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFYVPedUOCE) Maybe the next Taylor Swift?

So I remember some awful stuff Willow Smith released as a kid, likely foisted on her by her famous parents. My attention was brought to this by Rick Beato and she has definitely improved somewhat.
