Derbyshire based Mancunian. Lost in music.
Many thanks once again to those continue to follow this series. It's been greatly appreciated.

With just a few to go, I continue by raising the question - Is a lack of originality strangling modern music?

Soundtracking the morning with another contender for #5debutalbums7074.

Such an incredible voice. This would be a worthy contender for the magnificent 'Les Fleur' alone, but as an album its so much more than that.

Tonight's whisky pairing...

Raw, visceral and filled with so many markers to where she was headed sonically. Hugely underrated on release imho. As essential as anything she's released to my ears x

Happy Cairanne for £4.99 at Aldi day to all who celebrate!!

Seems like they're restricting it to two per customer this year. Fortunately Mrs LK was with me

Kicking off the day with some early thoughts for the next of @richards7370.bsky.social's polls.

Can't imagine imagine any scenario in which these wont appear in my selections for #5debutalbums7074 🙏x

Thanks again to anyone who's continued to keep pace with this series. It's hugely appreciated.

Continuing with an assertion: We all need a musical hero. It's a universal truth...

Woah! Just in case you missed the news.

Tonight 9:45 pm on @talkingpicturestv.bsky.social. 'Night Of The Demon' an all time classic.

Can also recommend catching the recent episode of @johnnyrestall.bsky.social's excellent podcast on the topic after watching it too.

Marvellous 🙏x

At the Heaven 17 gig at Sheffield Octagon on Friday Glenn Gregory mentioned that he and Martyn Ware had met up with Phil Oakey for a drink pre-gig to reminisce over old times.

They performed a storming version of Being Boiled as an encore (sadly without Phil), but turns out the drink did happen x

Saturday vibes...

As @richards7370.bsky.social has given us another week to finalise our #5debutalbums1014 here's another well worthy of consideration.

Strong Detroit tones of a Drexciyan flavour.

Possibly my favourite ever release on the fantastic Houndstooth Label.

Recently Mrs LK has taken over the gig diary. So its been consecutive Friday nights with some of her eighties heroes.

Duran Duran two weeks ago. ABC last week and then last night a brilliant home town show for Heaven 17.

I think I might let her take over all gig plans from now on 💙x

As always, a huge thank you to anyone still keeping pace with these posts. Its hugely appreciated.,

Continuing with this : A beautiful tribute to the power of human imagination

Eleanor Gittens, 107, and Lyle Gittens, 108. The world's longest married couple at 83 years.

When asked for their secret they simply replied 'we love each other'

Well that was bloomin' brilliant!

Great to see Martin Fry looking fit and well these days too. What a wonderful night 🙏x

Mrs LK picked up a couple of last minute tickets to catch ABC in their steel city home.

Slowly starting to fill up. Should be a good night x

Turning more thoughts towards the upcoming #5debutalbums1014 poll.

I can say with a fair degree of certainty that this will make my five.

Just in case the moderation filter blocks the image, I am of course talking about the magnificent self-titled debut from AWVFTS x

Always good to take our annual visit the RSPCA centre in Chesterfield. Keeping up the tradition of donating our former annual fireworks budget to them.

Nice to meet a few temporary residents too and even better to hear they'll be in new homes soon 🙏🐱🐶x
