💿 Closing Time
🎶 I Hope That I Don't Fall In Love With You
Following up hearing Rain Dogs with Closing Time in my Tom Waits listening journey sure was an experience.
So different from what he became, but no less affecting and entertaining, as proven here.

🗣️ Rain Tree Crow
🎶 Blackwater
🗓️ April 1991
"They've just rebadged it, you fool."
Japan were back together for one album and one album only, but boy did they make it count.
Blackwater was the biggest single, and with good reason. It's an absorbing and emotional gem.

The lyric I'm thinking about today:
"In the car he couldn't afford
They found his made-up name
On her ankle chain
So don't call, don't call her at home
She's fucking with a slip of a man
While the engine runs"

And I slept on strange pillows of my wanderlust
I dreamed of 747s, over geometric farms
Dreams, Amelia, dreams and false alarms"

John Martyn's storytelling was almost always biographical.
On 'Grace & Danger', it was too much so; label owner and friend Chris Blackwell delayed its release for a year because it was too depressing.
45 years on from its release however, the melancholic rawness shines on 👇

🎶 The Sun Rising

This isn't the only band, album, and song recommendations so gratefully received from our host, but it is amongst the very finest.
Acid house synths and beats above a hushed vocal make this an addictive tune, time and time again.

🎶 Hell Broke Luce
My final pick from the 21st Century just cracks the top 20.
If Bad As Me truly is Waits' farewell album, then what a triumphant goodbye it is. This is just one of many great songs that only Waits himself could deliver here.

Growing up, my brother and I didn't share much music. But Keane was a common love.
Even then, I hated the big hits. But certain songs were the most magical things I had ever heard of.
In particular, 'Untitled 1', with its ethereal synths is to my ears, a haunting masterpiece.

Or to take up space
Guess I'm only talking

Your pretty face
I don't talk much to anyone, but
You're a special case
For my special place"

Pink Floyd released 'The Endless River' #OnThisDay in 2014.
The band's final album, it largely comprises instrumental and ambient work from The Division Bell sessions two decades earlier.
One for the purists and hardcore fans, it is also a fitting conclusion to the band's story.

From avant-garde jazz to top tier psychedelic rock.
The record cover is the only sunshine in these parts this morning, but the look in David Crosby's eyes says it all.
'If I Could Only Remember My Name' is one of those records which swallows you up for its duration.

Patti Smith's 'Horses' was released #OnThisDay in 1975.
The seminal album combined the emerging rawness of the punk scene with avant-garde experimentations, making for one of the bravest and most unique debuts of the decade.
Perhaps that's best exemplifies on the sprawling 'Birdland'.

Kicking off the record playing week with this absolute beauty.
Karma is the jazz record which most feels like a religious experience - opening my eyes, ears and minds to the wonder that is Pharoah Sanders.
I'll be diving so much deeper next year, but for now, this is on repeat.

It's not a turnaround on the scale of Dark Side Of The Moon, but I do believe my ears needed cleaning when I didn't enjoy Blood On The Tracks on first listen.
It's definitely the most consistent Bob Dylan record I've heard, and that base level is much higher than I realised.

December is for the great Christmas movies - the classics, the modern favourites, childhood nostalgia et al.
But November, that's for the guilty pleasure that is Hallmark Christmas movies (and other similar networks).
