@KaleviHeinoFI What’s the verdict?

@StephanieWilban @JosephGBarlow Nazz days. Wow! I don’t think he does anymore political commentary, though I doubt he’s one to worry about alienating people.

@batcountry1980 Backseat of my Car is one of his very best.

Why do I only play ‘Round About Midnight’ late at night? Because Miles Davis didn’t call it ‘Round About 2:30 in the Afternoon. It’s the kind of album that makes you lower your voice in your own house. One day you just realize Miles has been waiting for you. #MilesDavis #Jazz

@musicmaned @VintageRockN_85 I just ordered this 2016 reissue. Looking forward to giving it a proper listen. I came to appreciate Bowie too late but am making up for it now.

The Power And The Glory (1974) compresses a political science degree into 38 minutes of prog. Gentle Giant had the confidence to make listeners work. This album presents a coherent narrative that is refreshing in an age of largely disposable listening. #GentleGiant #Vinyl #Prog

In the Van Morrison arc, Tupelo Honey (1971) is the solid chapter between the big chapters. Not as visionary as Astral Weeks, not as airtight as Moondance, it’s a pastoral pit stop. Two killer tracks: ‘Wild Night’ to start the album and the title track that glows like scripture.

Neil Young’s Live Rust (1979) is sequenced like a life cycle: innocence (Sugar Mountain), reckoning (Thrasher), confrontation (Powderfinger), chaos (Sedan Delivery), reflection (Cortez). The acoustic set plants the seeds, the electric set harvests them. #NeilYoung #Vinyl

Elton John’s Captain Fantastic And The Brown Dirt Cowboy 50th Anniversary reissue (2025/1975) is really a memoir disguised as a record; asking what success costs and what it obscures. Proof that fame writes headlines, but struggle writes songs. #EltonJohn #Vinyl

Funkadelic’s One Nation Under A Groove (1978) isn’t just a collection of songs, it’s an invitation to join the republic of groove. The title track has its own gravitational pull and should come with a chiropractor appointment. You don’t just play this album, you report for duty.

@RobWatson1912 Listen to the guitar on As You Lie There.

Paul McCartney still makes complexity feel effortless. The Boys of Dungeon Lane (2026) hides harmonic surprises like a magician palming a coin. Critics called him sentimental, but time has proved it a strength. His guitar playing shines and the songs fit the voice he has now.

Earth, Wind & Fire put on a great show tonight.

XTC’s Skylarking (1986) can, perhaps, be summarised as: Nature is beautiful. Life is mysterious. Time is running out. Anyway, here’s a catchy chorus. It’s a masterpiece disguised as a pleasant afternoon. Some albums are overplayed, this one is underheard. #XTC #Vinyl #Skylarking

Saxophone Colossus (1957): “St. Thomas” is pure sunshine and Sonny Rollins’ tone is so warm it practically shakes your hand. It’s sophisticated without being intimidating. The album title isn’t a metaphor, it’s a warning label. #SonnyRollins #Jazz #Vinyl

Thriller (1982) turned videos into cinematic events and changed the visual language of music. It didn’t just break records, it broke boundaries, with a Black artist dominating radio, MTV and charts. It influenced fashion, dance, marketing, and the entire industry.#MichaelJackson

@JosephGBarlow Moanin’ is a sermon of soul, a revolution of rhythm, and a timeless conversation in hard bop. Blakey:’Jazz washes away the dust of everyday life.’
