Back home early, so time for a cuppa, a read of the paper and a #RandomCD. Today, for number 197 it's back to 1993 with @ElvisCostello and the #BrodskyQuartet. This is Dec at his most arch and I'm still not sure if it's the last word in pretentiousness or just rather lovely.
Late night Friday. The happy-sad feeling of the last #teaching day of the #academic year. A brief pause until marking mountain hoves into view. #RandomCD 195 and I'm transported to the @NewTheatreOx and @hothouseflowers supporting @CrowdedHouseHQ. Was it 1992? A brilliant night.
A book and a #RandomCD 192. This being one of my lesser-played @CrowdedHouseHQ recordings. V nice to think I'll be seeing them live at #TheRoundHouse in June.
Last Saturday evening of #DryJanuary and listening to #RandomCD 188. I've always really liked #mariamckee since #LoneJustice days. Must say I have absolutely no memory of this 2003 album, but am rather enjoying it.
When I'm working from home I aim to finish my day with some reading around my subject - I'm currently working through @sarahchurchwell's absorbing #BeholdAmerica. It's being helped enormously by #RandomCD 186 - a 35 year old collection highlighting the brilliance of #OtisRedding
So #RandomCD 182. I remember first hearing @twinatlantic a decade ago and thinking wow - tuneful rock that sounds Scottish not American. Loved this album #Free and actually its more commercial successor. Lost their way bit after that, though I gather the new album's a belter.
Present wrapping time, so I've grabbed #RandomCD 179. This one's from @googoodolls from 2010. A very tidy collection - but never quite matches up to #Iris. You'd never guess, but I'm hoping for books and music for Christmas by the way.
Seems like ages since I've done this, but we're up to #RandomCD 176, with this contribution from @stereophonics. It's back to 1999 and I'm loving the raw energy from a band I've still yet to see live. I definitely don't reckon she's into that kiss.
Just gone 6pm and the end of my first working day in three weeks. A bit of a musical unwind with #RandomCD 173 (I had two 171s) and I'm back in Dublin in 2005 with the very excellent, and by now post-#FatLadySings @nickgestation. Always thought this was an under-rated album.
A bit of late night listening luckily landed a largely appropriate #RandomCD 171 from @DavidGray. While I know it first came out in 1998, it charted on re-release in 2000 when it soundtracked my summer working at St James Gate - Guinness' HQ in Dublin.
Computer's off, out-of-office is on and three whole weeks of leave are starting. Very happy with #RandomCD 166 - my very favourite from @springsteen...and an album I seem to have on vinyl, CD and probably cassette. Can't think of a better way to ease into the weekend!
Up to #RandomCD 161. It was this, originally on a cassette from Woolworths in Wembley High Street, that first got me into @BlondieOfficial. 44 years later, it still sounds retro but so ahead of it's time.
Most of the #RandomCD collection is rapidly disappearing into crates and boxes ready for #HouseMove21. But it is the law to listen to a few while packing. This @RoddyFrame offering number 158 comes from 2002 pretty-much 20 years after I first saw the brilliant #AztecCamera live.
Okay. The rule is that every #RandomCD grabbed gets played. This is number 149 - I think it was Rory's when he was 6 (he liked the title track) from @GeriHalliwell. Anyway, it gets a full play. I think I might have to find something else to do for half an hour or so. Hoovering?
A serendipitous grab for #RandomCD 148 as @genesis_band's drummer and post-Gabriel lead singer @PhilCollinsFeed just turned 70. This was the 1st Genesis album in our house - actually my sister's. Thus it has always been my favourite. Rather like this natty Japanese CD package
TV is rubbish tonight, so it's an open fire, a good book and a deeper dive into my #RandomCD world - back to 2003 for number 147 and @KingsOfLeon - the most famous band ever to have played a dodgy pub in #HighWycombe best known for its 'exotic' dancers.
It's sleeting down outside. It's the 493rd day of January and #lockdown's due to finish in 2026. But for a brief few minutes I don't mind. It's 1995 again and through the medium of #RandomCD 146 @Blur are tearing it up at the #MileEndStadium and I'm bopping round the front room.
It's Sunday. Lockdown haircut done. Lockdown constitutional soon to come. In the meantime, #RandomCD 140 from @AnnieLennox takes me back to BC (before children) - another world. It was a world that included a memorable weekend in Paris that culminated in a superb #Eurythmics gig.
