Spun the Communards album I picked up today and… yep, this feels like the inevitable next chapter of my ongoing Bronski Beat obsession. Same glittering synth nerves, same big-hearted drama, I swear Jimmy could turn me.

Klaatu 3:47 EST just discovered this 1976 gem. I totally get the controversy it had back in the day. So Beatles. #nowplaying #music

This is such a powerful piece of music. I have no doubt about Philip Glass' genius.

Jean Michel Jarre, seems like an appropriate soundtrack for the day's chaos. This album always makes me sad when I get to the haunting "Last Render-vous" which was supposed to be performed on the shuttle Challenger.

More The The, this time "Infected". I remember hearing this back in the 80's. Matt Johnson's "This is the 51st state of the U.S.A." hits differently today, but still the same in a way.

Dug out my original '78 copy of Grease soundtrack. I'd like to have a word with my 12 yo self about looking after the vinyl.

ABC's 2nd album "Beauty Stab". Left the new romanticism behind in favour of some politics. "There's a silent majority seen and never heard from Charles I to Charles II to Charles III" Not bad for 1983.

Tubular Bells, Mike Oldfield.
My 5th grade teacher (1976) was obsessed with this, I remember it being dubbed onto our b/w video montage the class did. Reel to Reel video, the portapack was at least 25kg. #musicsky #VinylCommunity #NowSpinning #NowPlaying #VinylRecords

Brubeck's "Time Out". 1959 was an astonishing year for great Jazz.

The Beatles Revolver came out the same year I was born. It has aged much better. Rapidly becoming my fav Beatles album.

I did Lou Reed in reverse, my first CD of his was Magic and Loss, worked back to Transformer and then discovered the Velvet Underground.

Velveen the 2nd album from Transvision Vamp. I personally preferred Pop Art but the title track is a brilliant piece. Originally owned on CD from when it first released but recently picked up the vinyl.

At 51, Hot August Night by Neil Diamond holds up remarkably well.

I haven’t spun The Stranger by Billy Joel for a while, it blows me away just how good it is.

Lazy Saturday morning, what better way than to start with some "live" Joe Jackson, possibly the best live performer I have witnessed.

Working my way through Billy Joel's catalogue. I defy you to listen to An Innocent Man and not find yourself swaying along.

Long day, time to settle down with a bourbon and some Billy Joel...fun fact my 1973 copy of the Piano Man has all the songs in the wrong order listed on the jacket.
