I listened ...Yeah I know what you mean about Jonny. I listened to the album on Spotify and was a bit non-plussed too. I just fancied a gig and bought the ticket on the day. <br /><br />Some tuneful stuff though, nice harmonies, good banter and a run through a track from the latest TFC album=turned into a good night out. May or may not splash out on the album...<br /><br />Good luck with that mojo!Hoops Hooleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05619434657999228024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19530059.post-65037563114653637362011-07-03T17:34:30.879+01:002011-07-03T17:34:30.879+01:00I completely agree about 'financial committmen...I completely agree about 'financial committment'. I find music I have even copied off friends difficult to take seriously somehow. I don't seem to listen to it properly in the same way that I would if I had actually purchased a hard copy. I've just been listening to a great Philip Glass opera today (la belle et la bete - it goes with the Cocteau film and is suprisingly good) which I borrowed from the Barbican library and ripping it is just not going suffice. I will have to buy it. Not that I mind giving Philip the money either!<br /><br />No, didn't see Jonny. I have heard a few tracks and they didn't blow me away so haven't really followed up on it. I'm anxiously awaiting the rumoured and long-awaited Gerry Love album...<br /><br />I'm not particularly back. Still short on time and feeling spectacularly demotivated to write anything myself. Hopefully I'll get my mojo back at some point.Cocktailshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06091341579556869010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19530059.post-5405882908859586082011-07-01T22:32:23.912+01:002011-07-01T22:32:23.912+01:00Also Cocktails: I'm wondering if by any chance...Also Cocktails: I'm wondering if by any chance you went to see Norman Blake turning out in his <a href="http://youtu.be/LNcjy_R3_jE" rel="nofollow">"Jonny"</a> incarnation the other night?<br /><br />It was a most agreeable evening.Hoops Hooleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05619434657999228024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19530059.post-48953184130120620622011-07-01T22:24:22.670+01:002011-07-01T22:24:22.670+01:00Well hello Cocktails!

For a while at least?<br /><br />I agree there are definitely worse songs than "Soul Man" to have spinning round in your head for the day.<br /><br />As well as being nice to look at, those two Brazilian impulse buys are actually better to listen to than I had imagined. So wins all round!<br /><br />Interesting you should pick up on CD buying. I think I have wearied of Spotify lately: there's just too much music there to deal with. I'm forever compiling playlists and never getting round to listen to them. I think I need to make some kind of <b>finanical commitment</b> to make sure I do actually play the music, if only to justify spending the dosh. (Does that make <b>any</b> sense?)<br /><br />...And downloading has <b>definitely</b> lost its appeal, such as it ever was.<br /><br />Back to vinyl soon, I expect...Hoops Hooleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05619434657999228024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19530059.post-70498747854067308822011-06-30T17:41:06.209+01:002011-06-30T17:41:06.209+01:00Hello there!

Which is not entirely bad I suppose.<br /><br />Great Brazilian covers too. And if you think they don't look as good on CD then thank heavens you're not downloading them!Cocktailshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06091341579556869010noreply@blogger.com
