The really good (British) stuff from the 1980s and 1990s never ages, to my mind.
I just can't get enough of this banger, it has been on repeat for days at this point lol

We had a couple of classics from Simple Minds whilst cooking earlier.
Don't you (forget about me) - Which always makes me think of The Breakfast Club.
Alive & Kicking - Another classic.
Then The Specials - Ghost Town. A track I associate with nights out from my youth.
Three brilliant tracks.
I love both Simple Minds and The Specials (now, that is an idea for later this evening....)
Other UK Ska + Scottish pairings...
The Beat/The Orange Juice
Madness/Texas
Bad Manners/Cocteau Twins

I'm a huge Stax and Memphis soul fan (like Paul Weller, no?). RIP Steve Cropper!

Last night took the form of an extended trip down musical memory lane to the 1980s:
The songs I listened to included: The Jam (That's Entertainment), The Specials (yes, Ghost Town), Soft Cell (Tainted Love), OMD (Maid of Orleans), Duran Duran (Ordinary World), Ultravox (Vienna), Simple Minds (Don't You Forget About Me, and yes, I do remember watching The Breakfast Club), David Bowie (Absolute Beginners), several songs from Dexy's Midnight Runners, and from Madness, and a few from XTC, among others.
Looks like an excellent playlist. The 80’s were great for music. Many other things as well. Nothing wrong with double denim!
Makes me wish I'd kept all my old C90 and C120 mixtapes recorded live off R1 on Sundays (IYKYK).
Streaming pristine remixes today is just not the same.
My favourite coffee shop has been playing the Buena Vista Social Club since I arrived this afternoon; a psychological shot of something that resembles sunshine.....
One day last week, they played a selection of music from Pink Martini, Leonard Cohen, the Beatles and the Buena Vista Social Club........wonderful.

Elton John - Rock of the Westies. Was my driving music today (I drove probably 100 miles combined through going from one side of town to the other 4 times). Still don't love driving but the music made it more enjoyable.
Just listened to Beethoven Sonata No. 21 Op. 53 and Chopin Piano Concerto in E Minor back to back. Ends of the third movements (effectively the ends of both pieces) are strikingly similar.
Been on a Santana kick lately, and that's a good thing.
I'm one week into the music streaming honeymoon phase. I will enjoy both but will always love the vinyl sound and experience.
