What are you listening to right now?

Simple Minds - Biko live in Verona 1989. (As it's Malcolm Foster's birthday.)

Starless - King Crimson (from USA).

The studio version is fantastic but the emotions hit much harder live, with an insanely metal middle section.

RIP David Crosby

Jeff Beck performing this week...live at ronnie scott's (blu ray) - Jeff backed by an ace band and featuring Clapton on a couple of numbers.

Rip Mr Crosby..classic album

I'm listening to music either written or produced by the great Alan Tarney of the Tarney Spencer Band. They got their start working other great musicians including James Taylor Move (late 60s), Kevin Peek, Terry Britten, Cliff Richard and The Shadows (Cliff Richard, Hank Marvin, Bruce Welch, John Farrar (!)). Alan Tarney and Trevor Spencer also worked with Olivia Newton-John, Chris Squire (!), Bonnie Tyler, Charlie Dore, New Seekers, Peter Doyle, and The Real Thing. They had a go at their own band "Trevor Spencer Band" which had three albums in late 70s. They never caught on so Alan Tarney went the Trevor Horn route and became a famous producer/songwriter. He was famous for writing/producing 80s Cliff Richard hits (We Don't Talk Anymore, A Little in Love), Leo Sayer (More Than I Can Say), Charlie Dore (Pilot of the Airwaves), A-Ha (Take on Me, Sun Always Shines on TV), etc.

Leo Sayer's last UK hit, Orchard Road, is an Alan Tarney song too. Tarney only produced A-Ha, just to be clear.

This is the Life (Amy Macdonald's debut album) - perfect album, all killer no filler.

🥹 Hypnotic and sad from 1 minute in.
