Now embarking on Life 3.0
It was the last big weekend of the year, but it was the best and this was a highlight.

I’m not going to say Bob Dylan is as good as Scott McTominay, that would be crazy - but he could definitely lob Schmeichel from the halfway line.

Mavis doing what Mavis has always done, on perhaps her greatest album. The message is simple: Be more like Mavis and we may just make it
Really excellent writing by @hutchie.bsky.social about a fine and timely new Mavis Staples record. Gillian Welch still appeared stunned that Staples had covered her song when she played Hard Times in London last week.
“Staples’ work is incomplete as long as the world continues to promote leaders too dumb to understand the message - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

Mavis Staples continues to set the world to rights with one of the best albums of her 75-year career. Read MOJO’s 5/5 review and the tracklisting in full...

Mavis Staples gets ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ lead album feature in new @mojomagazine.bsky.social. “Be more like Mavis,” writes @hutchie.bsky.social. Amen.

The current @mojomagazine.bsky.social is a good one. I see you Lennon, Springsteen and Hendrix and raise you @andrewmale.bsky.social on Brigitte Fontaine, Patti Smith in Paris, soul searching with Lucinda Williams, @steviechick.bsky.social on Prince’s coming of age and, sorry, me on Mavis Staples

Patti Smith’s Horses was supposed to be released 50 years ago today, on the anniversary of Arthur Rimbaud’s birth.

Due to oil shortages, it didn’t get released until November 10, 1975, the anniversary of his death

Annie & The Caldwells are touring next year - Ronnie Scott's at the end of January, then Newcastle, Leeds, Manchester and Bristol. Don't hesitate. Now all we need are some Scottish dates.

Well, this looks timely ...
Prouder than ever of this new @mojomagazine.bsky.social, exclusively heralding the return of Pulp. A great interview with the whole band by Ian Harrison. A remarkable CD of unreleased Pulp music. And lots more good stuff: info coming up in the next few posts... 1/3

I think about Jacques Brel a lot.

It would have been his 96th birthday today. I wish he'd had more than 49.

There will be another song for me ... or perhaps not. Just discovered 33 versions of MacArthur Park, as compiled by @andrewmale.bsky.social and I'm in absolute heaven.
