What music venue is on Denmark St?

The Lower Third, you have to go through a cocktail bar and then out the back and through another building then underground to get it. It’s a great little venue though

Im sure i played a gig somewhere on Denmark Street about 10 years ago, wonder if its the same place.

Didn’t know you played an instrument

I like to blow my own trumpet.

If you and Keef are looking for a band to join, I hear that this lot currently have vacancies.

Oh my God...!
Still, no doubt the likes of De Niro, Winfrey and Streep would have lapped it up.

A compilation - A Stereo Introduction to The Exciting World Of Transatlantic, After that I'm gonna put on Exposure by Robert Fripp.

Anyone else going to see Paul Heaton in Hammersmith in December? I quite like his latest stuff with Rianne Downey.

Hope they’ve got a new album out soon. Vampire Empire was my favourite song of last year by anyone

I had never heard Big Thief till I saw this. Listened to their album Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe in You today. Brilliant.

Shelly Manne And His Friends - My Fair Lady

Walking In Space - Quincy Jones

Eston California - by Vin Garbutt. Middlesbrough's finest.

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Dani California
Stone Roses - She Bangs the Drums
Boss-nova covers from Nouvelle Vague

Jumpin' Like Mad - Cool Cats & Hip Chicks, a double CD compilation on the Capitol Blues Collection. I have loads of records and CDs, but this one is coming to the desert island.

Lou Reed - Dusseldorf 2000

Went to see Pearl Jam last night, seen them before, but they were next level last night, one of the best I've ever been to.

Put on Thin Lizzys "Bad Reputation' album on Spotify yesterday whilst working and when it finished I let the algorithm take over.

This led me down the path of 70s rock with Atomic Rooster, Rory Gallagher, Faces, Derek &The Dominoes, Ten Years After, Cheap Trick and many more of that ilk. Very enjoyable.

I did the same with soul and blues a while back and let it run for two days and was able to add some obscure new stuff I hadn't heard before to the playlists.

Blind -Hercules & Love Affair
bread and Butter -The Newbeats
Break in the Glass- The Movement, Chali2na &Jurassic 5
Live It Up - Mental As Anything

Anyone else watch guy guarvys show in sky arts which has bands from the vaults focused on a year or topic? Some really good stuff and bands I’d never heard of before

My farts

The Guardian's top 20 songs of 2024.

My Spotify review thing just dropped and it appears my top 5 favourite artists are the same as last year, bar one.

Apparently I listened to 59,000 hours of music by 1,405 artists and Spotify wants to know where I find the time to listen so much. Nosey bastards!

Apparently I had a bit of a folk rock, alt country binge last March. Not sure why.

Impossible Germany by Wilco, my number one song for donkeys years, has been relegated to 5th spot and has been replaced by a song by an artist I only started listening to last January.

More later I'm sure.

Been returning to The Fall - so much wheat amongst the chaff.

Mr Pharmacist from Bend Sinister
I’m not Satisfied from Cerebral Caustic
Everything Hurtz from Code:Selfish

Great stuff.

Following their successful case against the UK Government I gave Kneecap’s new album a try, found it a bit meh. But ITunes then suggested The Troubles by Jun Tzu which I did enjoy.
Other than that Amyl and the Sniffers and the Lambrini Girls are fun.
