I’ve decided that BlueSky is where I will be mostly posting now that Twitter is meh. I’ve given up on Threads as I don’t have any stories to share about being asked to switch seats on planes.

This is the #DolbyAtmos release I’ve been waiting for the most - @stevenwilsonhq.bsky.social’s 2025 mixes of The Who’s “Who Are You” - ‘Had Enough’ and ‘905’ burst out of my Atmos set-up, like audio lava. The layered vocals on ‘Had Enough’ 💋.
👍 @super-deluxe.bsky.social another quality release.

RIP Danny Thompson. If you are a fan of #70s / #80s music, you would have heard some of his wonderful bass playing, one of my favourites being @davidsylvian.bsky.social’s ‘The Ink In The Well’ from “Brilliant Trees”.

RIP #StephenLuscombe - one half of the original line-up of Blancmange, who had a string of infectious hits in the early to mid #80s.

Bye spotify - your pitifully low payments to artists and your CEO’s dubious AI weapons funding are the final straw. I’m giving my money to qobuz instead. Hi-res & better royalties, what’s not to love.

I adore ABC’s “Lexicon Of Love” but I love their 4th album “Alphabet City” just as much and the album’s ‘King Without A Crown’ is my most played ABC song.
