Sufjanās new album is a thing of beautyā¦
Psychic!!? Iāve just driven from St Louis to Indianapolis listening to:
For me thatās the best album of the 21st centuryā¦so far. The outtakes album The Avalanche isnāt far behind. 
Just been watching the 80ās classic teenwolf when I heard a familiar tune, didnāt take me long to remember where Iād heard it as this banger was played many a time on my car stereo, Iām just so impressed how they had the idea for it given the source material!
More beauty from Sufjanās latestā¦
Partial to Caroline Polachek since she recorded as the duo Chairlift in 2012ā¦start at the 3rd song Sunset, 8.42ā¦an incredible piece of recordingā¦
Hugely underappreciated Stockport Bandā¦
This came up on shuffle this morning. An amazing simple recording from nearly 100 years agoā¦

As I couldnt bear to watch the Sri Lankan innings, it gave me time to hear The Glimmer Twins latest offering.
Loving it.
And a rather good closer.
ā¦ gimme a pigfoot, and a bottle of beerā¦
Canāt believe this is now 10 years old. Another from my collection on shuffle this morning, such an ignored talentā¦
Listening to this Tiny Desk again. Jason Isbell is unusual; a Southern Country Singer Songwriterā¦and an outspoken Democrat. Hell of a songwriter tooā¦

Well, bit of a surprise here
Eldest Saints supporting Son (lives in Cologne) had told me he was in a band, and they had had some decent gigs and warm up sets for some bigger acts around the country.
Well, their Album just dropped
Real @OzSaintDave stuff.
(He always was a huge Scott Pilgrim fan)

@Polski_Filip Like that track! Not a fan of the vocalist (hope that isnāt your eldest!)
Sounds like itās well recorded and done in a āstudio environmentā aka, not in a bedroom.
Well played!

Speaking of things that are happening, we are starting to get some really killa feedback from the ethers about our album.
My lad is lead guitarist
Very European Death Metal Vocal sound,
Works on some tracks for me.

I see Iām not into European Death Metal enough! Lol
If your eldest is after some feedback, tell him its a solid track, good melody with each individual instrument well balanced across the sonic sphere. I like the intro, builds the song well and though not a fan of the vocal style, that seems more through lack of knowledge of the inspiration, not necessarily the timbre

Late summertime they had to hire a Van to get around to all their gigs. They live in Cologne and were playing Hamburg and around Central Germany. A slow burner building a fan base.
The lol is that at the very first ever Dubai Shopping Festival Middle Son had asked for a Guitar for his birthday and I found one at the Fest - a Samsung Fender rip off. Apparently it was the best thing ever. Few years later he left for Uni in Bristol and I couldnāt travel with him due to work, so he took what he could with me lugging the rest over on my next Biz trip a week later.
So I get to fly Biz Class on BA with a Guitar on my back. Everyone thought I had to be āsomeoneā but I was just the guy with the bad shoulder from the weght of the Guitar and all the books in the case!
So we now have.
Brother - Salisburyās finest Covers Band The Zucchinis (and turned down a contract when they were The Courgettes doing Pretenders type stuff in the 80ās
Niece - gigging around the World in Kate Nashās touring band as Guitarist.
Middle Son starting Germany rocking
Youngest - working on an EDM album.
Mrs P_F who went to Dubai as a singer and spent 11 years in the industry.
And of course me. Johnny No Note
