19. Anna B Savage - You & I Are Earth
This is the soundtrack to sitting by a log fire, with a glass of red in hand, feeling peacefully content. All is full of love - both with her relationship and to Ireland where she now calls home. A hug of an album.
Favourite track - Mo Cheol Thú

25. Where Are We Now?
An otherwise dull, boring Monday morning at work was suddenly lifted at lunchtime by the news Bowie was back. I had to wait until I got home to hear this - Marc Riley played it. What a beautiful comeback - a reflection on his time in Berlin

Now just Rich - gone were the 40 minute epics from his previous album and in it’s place, these nine warm, engaging insights into the repeating patterns of behaviour on generations of a family

26. I Can’t Give Everything Away
I got the Blackstar album the day it came out. An absolute work of genius from the get go - with this closing the album. I thought it sounded regretful in a way. Of course we all know what happened three days later - this all made sense after that

You over reacted? That’s your explanation…
I don’t know how many times I’ve seen it - such a joy to see it in a cinema again - even with the extra bits!
Part 2 cut out the opening montage and jumped straight into Chapter 6. Animation at the end after the closing credits - from Fortnite apparently

The Whole Bloody Affair so far…
1. O-Ren’s back story is extended
2. The fight in the House Of Blue Leaves remains in colour and is extended
3. The “reveal” at the end of Part 1 has been taken out
I only ever saw both parts projected once when released - great to see/hear it projected again!

Unfortunately the specifics of the lyrics are lost on me (not a Welsh speaker - although I know a few words and phrases) - but regardless, the album still feels warm and joyful both musically and with Gruff’s comforting vocals

27. Jump They Say
One of a number of Bowie’s songs that was inspired by his half-brother Terry - however, this time, his suicide and its impact on him. Despite the tragedy behind it, the song has an infectious groove - of course it would - Nile Rodgers is at the controls.

Got back from seeing “The Running Man”
I went in with low expectations considering the reviews I’ve read - I have to say I quite enjoyed it!
I’m a fan of Edgar Wright’s (have been since Spaced) - it was it good old romp with bite - let’s face it - this dystopian setup felt a bit to real…

Ever the chameleon - Bowie channelled drum and bass for this little stomper - or was it jungle? I did have it explained to me once - but I still didn’t get where jungle ends and drum and bass begins!
Best bit of this is when he whispers “you little wonder you…”

Will also be comfier than FACT - all the cushions in the world cannot make the seats in The Box any comfier. Could that have been my problem?
