The Zim’s latest. This is the closing song, though the lengthy Murder Most Foul has its own separate CD.

His first LP of original material in eight years, and it’s a belter.

I was there for that. They were absolutely shite. I can’t believe how sad I still am about that. One of those where a numinous idea of genius takes hold and you’re desperate for them to be the thing you have in your heart. But they’re not. Arthur Lee was on his last legs, the band was schmaltzy… saying you were there was the most important thing. And I realise I’m saying I was there.

Saw Arthur Lee and Love (really just a session band as he was the only original member) in Edinburgh in 2002 just after he got out of jail. Absolutely brilliant, and I say that as someone who rarely has any interest in seeing bands long after their heyday.

It was like that watching Brian Wilson at The Festival Hall around 2001. Brian of course was just propped-up at the front and as we all realised this was an ongoing rehab therapy session but it didn’t matter at all.

His backing band The Wondermints were the real reason he ever agreed to tour again and you could see why…they were tremendous. The whole evening was very emotional, seeing and experiencing “The Brian Wilson Show” was something very few of us oldies ever expected to see a few years before.

An uplifting evening.

So I’ve put a YouTube playlist together.

The general theme is music with a decent ending.
