Rainy Sunday Afternoon.
Another winner from The Divine Comedy. Silly songs, contemplative songs, epic songs, insanely catchy songs. Brilliant.

NewDad's Alter is full of catchy, snappy tunes. Fair dues to them for saying its about tough times. They've channelled it in a sophisticated, souped-up version of their earlier work. Rewarding stuff.

Exuberant, joyous show by The Beths tonight at The Button Factory. However, a highlight was the much more intimate Mother, Pray For Me, from their latest album. Onwards & upwards, so good to see them progressing over the years, from the Grand Social onwards.

Julia Kelly's Still is totally enthralling - I read the c.150 pages in two sessions. A memoir centred on her mother's death, it depicts the life & foibles of a family in incredible detail. Very much a product of their environment, 20th century Dublin.

The Prefab Four. A nickname to be worn with honour.
For Pete's Sake, which used to end the shows when I was watching them in black and white, sounding gloriously colourful on the Late Show

Another gem from the When Will They Ever Learn box set. Cherry The Reddest Of The Red.
Up until I had sense, I always associated this song with the failed 'A' side of Maggie May.
Now airing on the Late Show
