The lovely Micky Taylor on guitar sounding like Jimi Hendrix.

I used to have the album cover on my bedroom wall as a teenager.

My kind of guitar breakdown.

How does it feel, how does it feel?

I love Cat Power’s recreation of Bob Dylan’s iconic 1966 Royal Albert Hall Concert.

Acoustic.

Electric.

It took me a long time
To figure out I don’t know what I want

Three brilliant and very different live versions of “Fill In The Blank” by Car Seat Headrest.

From 2016.

Also from 2016.

From 2018.

Little Simz “Mood Swings” is one of my top songs of 2024.

I think I first heard her on Tiny Desk in 2021. A brilliant set “at home” featuring songs from her “Sometimes I Might Be Introvert” album.

Literally just now I discovered she also did a Tiny Desk concert in 2017, which is just perfect.

the unknown is the only true hope for a brighter future

My song of the year by a country mile.

Drowned and buried at the bottom of a lake is my biggest fear

Porridge Radio are my band of the year.

I relistened to their 2022 album “Waterslide, Diving Board, Ladder To The Sky” countless times in August. It’s intense.

This is a brilliant solo live version of Back To The Radio.

They released their new album “Clouds In The Sky They Will Always Be There For Me” in October. It’s stunning!

I’m sick of the blues

I’m in love with my life again

Listening to her sing. She is fully connected to her truth. It shows up in her words, and it shows up in her voice. The two are indistinguishable.
