#TicketStubWed #MusicChallenge I flew back early to London especially to catch the French duo doing their thing. Possibly the gig that cemented Brixton Academy's spot as one of my fave venues ever.

#TicketStubWed #MusicChallenge They ran a phone lottery for tix. My flatmate at the time, a diehard U2 fan, sent 100s of text messages. Out of solidarity I sent exactly ONE. Somehow I was selected and took him along. Thus I saw the classic Pink Floyd lineup live, amongst many other legends.

Heartbreaking, always had a soft spot for Samp.

My kid handed me a closed box after nursery/kindergarten. "Dad, it is our turn to look after them" Look after what?? Ahhh...

Did I mention I like this album

#TicketStubWed #MusicChallenge Relationship Of Command had just dropped a few months prior and there was a real buzz in the venue. The band, still in their preachy phase, delivered an electric set. Support band Murder City Devils were equally thrilling. Gonna listen to them both now.

Suffice to say I can't get enough of this Viagra Boys album, particularly the track Uno II. Good stuff!

When discussing what music we were going to listen to on the way back home, my 5-year-old came in with an unusual request for him: “Can you play something really really super loud?” I’ve got you…

Arguably the 21st century's greatest mind and prime poet

Had to be done

On repeat today: Janis Joplin's "Pearl". Hard not to get sucked in by the sheer size of that voice. Epic. 🎧

Serie A update.

Such a fun album to return to. Dare I say underrated.

Hell of a day

#TicketStubWed #MusicChallenge I took my dad to see this one. I was the youngest person in the crowd, he was the oldest

Took my eldest for a little pilgrimage to San Siro yesterday. Made his year so far.

I had been craving an authentic carbonara for a while and Maruzella in Milan hit the mark. It was everything I had dreamed of.

Not really surprising, but I mostly listened to (and liked) Bon Iver's latest this past week.

Vintage parking

Bowie sighting in Milan

It's not Italy until you start spritzing

I think of this movie way more than I should.

After bumping Marvin Gaye's Let's Get It On today, here is my album of the day for tomorrow 🎧 #1001AlbumsGenerator

Arguably my greatest moment. Rest in peace Gene Hackman, legend!

Unlike everyone else I've been mostly listening to Kendrick Lamar this week.

I really enjoy this type of content, and I understand getting it out pre-xmas to reap the marketing rewards.... But we are still in November, there's a lot of pods to listen to still.

💿 #AlbumOfTheDay: Ray Charles - Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music (1962) 💬 Quick Take: Charles blends country, blues and jazz into a soulful, genre-defying masterpiece. His deft piano work grounds each track with bluesy bass complementing his emotionally charged vocals. #BoazSpins

💿 #AlbumOfTheDay: Manic Street Preachers - The Holy Bible 💿 💬 Quick Take: In 1994, while Britpop partied, the Manics delivered an unflinching dive into despair. 6 months later, Richey Edwards vanished, leaving behind an album as prophetic as it is personal. #BoazSpins
