“Have enough courage to trust love one more time, always one more time.”
“And when it’s done,
And all this is gone,
Just find the feeling, pass it on.”

Easily forgotten…

“She asked me to change the station
Said the song just drove her insane
But it weren't just the music playing
It was me that she was trying to blame.”

Immortal Hands & Melodie Is A Wound are as great as anything @stereolabgroop have ever done. There was a moment in the latter, when Lætitia hit a long ascending Autobahn tone, that launched into a full Tim led band freak out, that was pure bliss. Magical!

What a gig! Having last seen Stereolab at Institute, Brum, venue’s mushy sound didn’t help, but at the Wulfrun, Wolves - perfect! Tim, Lætitia & co were on storming form, & a good friend of mine dropped off a little prezzy at my doorstep - lovely to wake up to this morn. @stereolabgroop.bsky.social

Superb!

First heard this version back in the 80s when Elvis Costello was choosing some tunes to play on Radio 1. He also played Leon Russell’s Tightrope & the utterly phenomenal Skip Rope Song by Jesse Winchester…

Apart from the great hymns & odd pop & rock classic Christmas song, all you really need at this time of year is jazz.

A big old jazz place list. Enjoy…
