My new Little Feat deluxe CD of The Last Record Album includes an entire 1975 concert that was broadcast on FM radio back in the day. The sound is pristine and the performance flawless. It lacks the studio polish that they laid on top of their later “official” live album Waiting for Columbus, which is an advantage.

My new Foreigner 4 deluxe CD features soundboard live performances from their 1981 and 1982 tours. Again, the sound and performances are flawless. They squeezed it onto a single disc so they omitted some choice tunes from that tour. Otherwise, thanks to the rock gods for giving me these vintage live shows!

It's an interesting idea and, on hearing the first effort, I think it's great.

Powerful writing and brave idea making this happen.

Check this project out. Thea Gilmore's The Echo Line. First song is called Blood Bike.

Looks a great selection.

Bootleg Blondie in Hull last night , played for over 2 hours , many songs I didn't know or remember , great fun and so much more than a tribute

That's a sad post , doubly sad and massively poignant

Listening to my Christmas booty...

My copy of R/Evolution arrived yesterday, and I've been dipping into it the last couple of days, and it is a thing of wonder. 7 CDs of music, 1 DVD of filmed performances and two big thick booklets as well.

Kenny Morris, Banshees' drummer,

and Black Midi's former guitarist, whose father posted this message:

 “It is with deep sadness that we as a family regret to inform you that Matt Kwasniewski-Kelvin has died after a long battle with his mental health.

“A talented musician and a kind, loving man finally succumbed; despite all efforts. Matt was 26 years old. He will always be loved. Please take a moment to check in with your loved ones so we can stop this happening to our young men.”

So young, so sad.
