This is where I’ve realised I’ve backed myself into a corner with my only-use-an-artist-once policy I’ve had for this series; loads of them have tremendous voices that I love. So who’ve I got left? Day 28: A song by an artist whose voice you love 2020: “Perfect Day”, Lou Reed That voice crack in theContinue reading “Thirty Days of Music, Day Twenty Eight”

Entry #51 – What I’ve Been Listening To Lately: August and September 2025 (a.k.a Hold your nose, take the plunge…)

So why am I bothering toContinue reading “Entry #35 – A New Morning (a.k.a A False Dawn)”
Entry #8 – B-Side Myself I: Head Music (a.k.a Experimentalier)
At the end of my review of Head Music I stated that I would not be leaving it there as while the album was overall good, it was still very inconsistent. Songs like Elephant Man, Asbestos and Crack in the Union Jack all left a sour taste in the mouth and made me think thatContinue reading “Entry #8 – B-Side Myself I: Head Music (a.k.a Experimentalier)”
