Where would you look? I’m thinking there might be some Black Friday deals on the horizon.

I read they had recorded 23 tracks so there is more to come and there's another with Paul. I also read that Ringo might also be involved in some way.

@nekomatic I've got a couple of albums with her playing alongside the great saxophonist Andy Sheppard.

I'm not going to draw any firm conclusions about the new Blur album after only a couple of days listening. Most of the tracks feel to me like tracks at the back end of an album AFTER you've heard the best 5-6 tracks - more like the embers of a late night camp fire on a beach... no graffiti aerosol cans exploding in the fire. Like new shoes - takes a while to wear them in.

Orwell's 1984 audiobook read by Peter Capaldi - he's a good choice what with his great diction, gravitas and a mix of panic, menace and barely contained resentment in his voice.

@Frank Blank - well that's debate to be had - in a pub one night myself and a mate were trying to decide on the best opening 4 bars of any piece of music - Beethoven's 5th tied with Ticket To Ride I think. I still rate Complete Control as one of the best singles of all time - I used to slap it on almost every Friday after finishing lectures at uni.

That is an interesting album - a rich complex sound - not that I was expecting Billy Bragg or anything. Glad you mentioned it.

Out takes with Elvis invariably cracking up laughing - from an era when almost everything was done in one take. I have the vinyl packed away in a box in the garage but was nice to finally find it again.

This is right up my Straße! I had no idea he had died!

I stuck some pennies in fwiw.

I use the free Bitwarden - to generate, store and automatically paste in passwords - it works across Windows, Android, iOs. I have changed mine just for the sheer hell of it. As @velvetkevorkian suggested - it's worth checking https://haveibeenpwned.com/ - it's very possible the same username and password have been harvested from another site that he was using. The question that has to be asked is - has BC been hacked (unlikely as only one incident [so far]) - this is why maintaining sites (as I've found) can be a PITA - you have to keep on top of security updates and sometimes the updates don't always work out. Worse than that - depending on how extensive the site security patch is - any hand crafted changes to the code have to be redone - it's not always simple and problem free.

Who do these guys think they are? This is who - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L.E.O._(band) and pretty damn good imho.

A great collection of well crafted songs. I know of Rob Aldridge from the criminally under-rated Umajets - he died at the back end of 2021 - he was about 58 I think. His fb page has some nice videos of him playing acoustically for 30-60mins just for the joy of pleasing his fans - I always think you can appreciate the guitar work more when it’s stripped back to one guitar and vocals.
