My mate just recommended a chap called Philip Sayce to me so I'm currently being distracted from work by the awesome Stevie Ray Vaughan/Joe Bonamassa style tunes coming through my headphones.
Blues-tastic. Tremendous. Dunno why I'd never heard of him before.

Love this era of Depeche Mode, when Dave was skagged out. They never really hit those highs again (literally)

I've just started reading a very interesting book called Uncommon People: The Rise and Fall of the Rock Stars by David Hepworth which is essentially a history of rock icons, a chapter dedicated to one individual for each year starting in 1955 with Little Richard going through to around 1994. The best thing about this is that every chapter has a 'best of' playlist. and some wonderful person has put them all into a Spotify playlist in order! So it's essentially a history of popular music, in order.
Lovely stuff.

Summertime blues by Eddie Cochran is a classic. Great guitar riff from early rock n roll.

My missus loves 50s-early 60s rock n roll, the only ones I really like from that era are Eddie Cochran and Chuck Berry.

My goodness that was something.
Rick did a warm up set with some interesting remixes done live - river of bass was outstanding.
Main set had 4 new tracks, all brilliant. Denver luna in particular. Loved gene pool & also and the colour red too.
Drift 2 is going to be a treat.

James announce their 40th anniversary album.
They're doing a tour with the orchestra that sold out in seconds (tickets went on sale at 9.30, and all the ticket retailers immediately said sold out). Would have been the 1st tour I had missed since 1997, so was miffed. Anyway, symphony hall said their tickets went on sale at 10, so bang on 10 logged in and 100's were available. bagged 2 really excellent tickets at the front.
It was almost funny for 30 mins watching the twitter meltdown from everyone, although only in hindsight after securing my own tickets...
