• First time hearing the Keith Hudson record. Well worth your time. Nice mix of dub and rock steady. Never a dull moment.

• If you're a fan of Talk Talk's "The Colour Of Spring" and you're a vinyl person, it would behoove you to grab a copy of this new half-speed reissue. It is stunning, like Kevin Gray stunning. 

• Freddie Mercury would have been 80 today. Hard to imagine. Plus, that made him older than Bowie, though Bowie's first recordings were six or seven years earlier than Freddie's. Okay, I'm done.

• Mopar Stars is a lot of fun. Thanks Paul In DK. I hear more foo Fighters than 'Mats, but a good spin nonetheless.

Love the Keith Hudson!

Hadn't listened to Colossal Head in a while - Froom and Blake got a great sound from the band on that one.

Great Sunday music, including the SOTW, thanks!

TCoS > SoE > LS, followed by Miles’ In a Silent Way and some Debussy. Thanks for inspiring a perfect Sunday morning soundtrack, sir. I’ll be listening to some of the others later hopefully. Hope you’re enjoying the holiday weekend. Cheers
