Hawley ate beans and Georgie Fame? He'll be spitting blue flames.

I heartily recommend 'Rome' by Dangermouse, which features (amongst others) Jack White.

Music connects people through the unspoken appreciation of something that sounds right. Something that taps into the deepest corners of your soul, making you feel alive. When someone else gets it too and you know they do, it feels beautiful.

I know I've mentioned Talk Talk before...but I've been rediscovering "Colour of Spring" and I'm absolutely obsessed with it these days.  "Time It's Time" is incredible.  Great album.

Oh Eric. Good man. Talk Talk were an awesome band.

Not music to listen to though if you're feeling depressed... Posted Image If you like them you might like Japan? Same era. Similarly miserable (but good).

Well, another odd and old, old school band you will never have heard of is Tonto's Expanding Head Band. This is 7 years before people had heard of Jean Michelle Jarre and about 10 years before synth-based music became big.



This was 1971 - a multi-timbral orchestra using the world's largest synthesiser. These were the geezers who worked with Steve Wonder on his early albums - Music of My Mind and Talking Book (and feature on some of the tracks).

Currently listening to the new Ultravox album, yes 28 years after their last one. The younger members of the audience will go - who?

All I will say is: "Oh Vienna!!!!....."



Touring this Autumn/Winter.

Mmm. the Colour of Spring. Personal choice is "Happiness is Easy" on that album. Spirit of Eden is a bit more challenging to listen to, almost free jazz in execution. As for Japan, never really got into them, but "Ghosts" is superb. Just a shame about the hair.

Yes played this saturday at the St. Augustine Ampitheatre.  I didn't go on account of my partying Friday spilled over well into Saturday morning and I didn't want to put up with 95 degree temps hung over.  The opening act was Procol Harum. Never heard of them.  A buddy of mine works there, I'd like to know how much they played off of the 90125 album.  Epic friggin album there that brings back good memories of throwing a frisbee with my dad back when I was a youngin.

Indeed, I never had enough hair to be a "New Romantic" :)

If you are ever feeling depressed, just listen to one of David Sylvian's albums (lead singer), it will convince you that you are actually feeling pretty chipper about things :)

Mick Karn (their bass player) - one of the finest bass players ever (and a demon on a fretless bass) sadly passed away a year or two ago with cancer, practically penniless :(

The film Drive (Nicolas Winding Refn, 2011) has, in my humble opinion, an amazing soundtrack. I probably like it so much more because it's so different to my usual music.

Fray Luis de León said:

As we were saying yesterday...
Fray Luis de León wrote mystical poems which prompted Cervantes to proclaim León "a genius who astounds the world and who, in ecstasy, might rob us of our senses." León was also an active man who taught at the University of Salamanca, translated classical and biblical literature, and wrote on religious themes. Twice denounced before the Inquisition, he was imprisoned for "heresy," though he returned to the University to later hold the chairs of Moral Philosophy and Biblical Studies.

Tradition has it that he began his lecture the first day after returning from four years' imprisonment with the words "as we were saying yesterday..."

Drive was pretty decent movie, very original, but I agree that the soundtrack was the stand-out feature. Very retro-80s kind of stuff, highly recommend checking it out if you enjoyed these two tracks from it.
