@cerysmatthews this Jimi Hendrix version of Like A Rolling Stone is stellar. Just got back from walking the dog, Ralf and trying to decide what to have for breakfast. Had to stop for a minute and enjoy the sonic treat. Thanks for the play as I have never heard this take before!

@DefDylan Listened to a very interesting episode a few years back discussing Dylan's song structures and whether they contained choruses. Most didn't but the repetition of a single line at the end of a verse. I can't remember what you termed you used to describe this. Do you?

@totalcurtis It's always worse coming back from the states than going. Flights are often overnight, a few hours kip on the plane, then a whole other day to make it through.

Another solid Leicester show in the books, this time a tribute act Hejira: Celebrating Joni Mitchell

I tend to go for original music shows, but recently I have gotten deeply into this 'jazz period' of Joni Mitchell's career.

Review for @ARTSIN Music In Leicester coming soon

@LizStringerAU delivered a powerfully intimate set with truth and beauty on Saturday night @The_Sound_House

@LizStringerAU has lived and travelled all over the world in pursuit of her musical ambitions

We had a chat over email in anticipation of her stop in Leicester Saturday, which I'm really looking forward to.

Saw a band on Saturday, all kinds of funky, groovy goodness, in Hinckley, no less. OKAPI is their name and I will be reviewing the show for Music In Leicester @ARTSIN

[Adam Piotrowski @adampioski]

@LizStringerAU Hi Liz, I'm really enjoying your music. I am hoping to see the Leicester show. Can you tell me whether you will be playing with a live band? Cheers!

[Adam Piotrowski @adampioski]

I went to a really unique show at the Gallery @dmuleicester - the music was great, the visuals were even better. Check out my review for Music In Leicester @ARTSIN

On Friday night I went to a very unique and immersive experience at the Gallery at
@dmuleicester with performances by @lukebroughton5 & Laura Dickinson. Review coming soon for Music in Leicester @ARTSIN

@jowhiley @BBCRadio2 Great track by the Head and the Heart, called Rivers and Roads. Got a big-time rootsy Americana feel, highly recommend. Saw them open for @dcfc a good few years back.

[Adam Piotrowski @adampioski]

@BBCRadMac listening to the show this morning with the Frankenstein theme. How about a song from the new @TheNational album, first two pages of Frankenstein? Eucalyptus or Tropic Morning News are both excellent! Thanks for all the good tunes you play.

[Adam Piotrowski @adampioski]

So, I've dusted off the drum sticks, playing with friends, new and old @amydanielsmusic. Although we have only just started this thing I'm really liking where it's going.

[Adam Piotrowski @adampioski]

Loving the chatter on Leicester & @LeicsComedyFest on @SaturdayKitchen this morning. Big shout out to the wonderful food and drink businesses in the city and county too!

[Adam Piotrowski @adampioski]

Pretty solid book haul for Christmas / Birthday this year - that should keep me busy for awhile! @CAMRA_Official @DavidSedaris
Oh and only one record this year Craig Finn @steadycraig 'We All Want the Same Things.'
Happy Christmas break to ya'll.

@HenryNormalpoet Somewhere warmer...

[Adam Piotrowski @adampioski]

I went to the Ween website in hopes there might be a UK show on the horizon. There's not, and I have apparently already requested that they come and play here. Come on guys! @weeninfo @GeneWeen

[Adam Piotrowski @adampioski]

I thought @taylorswift13 's lavender haze was a response to Jimi Hendrix's woozy, druggy Purple Haze. Turns out it's a Mad Men reference, apparently a saying in the 1950's to describe the feeling of being in love. Which kind of makes sense, cuz isn't love Taylor's drug?

[Adam Piotrowski @adampioski]

@WhoriskeyNeil @UtilitaArenaBHM Thanks for the info

[Adam Piotrowski @adampioski]

@UtilitaArenaBHM hello. Was hoping to see showtimes for arcade fire show tomorrow so that we can make dinner arrangements and meet friends. Will these be posted in advance? Thank you
