To be honest it's mainly about records. MDANT🏅 unlikely though that seems

My latest monthly playlist is now up on Spotify. A varied selection of old, new and new to me records inspired by the change in the season and recovering my health. I hope there's something in the selection that makes you dig further.

It's one of those songs that I wouldn't mind going on for at least another ten minutes

Just in case anyone needed evidence of just how good D'Angelo was. There's something so raw and visceral about this track (and in fact the whole Black Messiah album) it just gets to the bottom of what funk is all about. It's a tragedy that his explorations have come to an end.

Thanks. I'm doing pretty well. There's been a few times I've thought I was better than I actually am and overdid things but as long as I take it easy I'll be good.

In just about every film I've ever seen him in Jean Paul Belmondo is always smoking a cigarette the size of a cardboard toilet roll tube.

Yves Montand was born 104 years ago today. Which is the perfect opportunity to share this gem

Wild & Crazy Guys is an excellent read, I'll have to investigate the other one.

Yes I've been dipping into it this afternoon

I know I'm feeling slightly better because I've started digging around for new stuff online. Heard Jamz Supernova play this on her always excellent show on 6 Music.

Another new to me thing. This is a couple of years old and sounds like it could have been released anytime in the last 50 years. Stunning.

Heard this earlier today and fell in love with its melodic playfulness.
