Well, folks, I've recently been to hell in a hand basket and back, but now that is past I will be aiming to resume my musical meanderings soon!

2)...album ends on a lighter, more positive note:
“If I had to do it all again,
well, it’s something I’d like to do”

1) Today’s listening (Part 2) is ‘Blinking Lights And Other Revelations’, the 2005 album by Eels.
LPs 2 and 3 from this excellent set continue the very personal themes of this album, which at times turn very dark due in part to the tragic family history of Mark Everett.

It might even be his best album?

2)....the letter ‘E’, the jury is out on whether Mr Everett really signed it in person!
LP1 is excellent, introduces the recurring ‘Blinking Lights’ theme and mostly contains ‘tinkly’ Eels-type songs.
More tomorrow.

Today’s listening is ‘Hiding In Plain Sight’, the 2022 album by Drugdealer.
This is an enjoyable, ‘easy listening, soft rock’ album of groovy tunes with a definite 1970’s feel to them.
Features the excellently-named Shags Chamberlain on bass guitar!

Sad to read that Mick Abrahams has died.
Though I never followed his career, he played an important role in the early days of one of my favourite bands, Jethro Tull.

Today’s listening is ‘To Shoot Another Day’, the 2024 album by Rosalie Cunningham.
In my opinion, this is Rosalie’s best album to date!
A terrific listen, it’s hard to single out tracks, but the title song, ‘Spook Racket’ and ‘Stepped Out Of Time’ are particular favourites.
Highly recommended!
