Went long on the increasing and welcome rise of Yondr pouches at concerts, and some other shows that I recently wished had been phone-free
In case I've not shared enough of my writing in the last 24 hours, after those Jad Tariq and Charlie Musselwhite pieces...

Today see's the release of the new record from Thee Sinseers, Love Stories, which to my ears is the best soul album released this side of 1975. Review below

Had the true pleasure of sitting down with Matthew Stubbs of GA-20 and the legendary Charlie Musselwhite recently, to talk about their great new record Blues Now and upcoming European tours. Link below...

I thought we might watch Play Misty for Me together, but Beatrice doesn't seem to care for my pick

Passed my driving test recently (first time and, somehow, with 0 faults) and when buying my first far I continued the habit of a lifetime in copying Bob Dylan (I went electric)

I thought we were enjoying watching Double Dynamite (starring Frank Sinatra and Groucho Marx) together but when I looked at Beatrice I realised she was out cold

Summer is nearly over but if you're still looking for something to read while beach- or pool-side, the Dylan Revisited book, Busy Being Born (1960-66) will help while away those warm days.

At 87, Mavis Staples is getting better with age
Mavis Staples has been a soldier in the army of love her whole life. Not only is she still fighting the good fight, but she's only getting stronger with age.

Went long on the wonderful Mavis Staples and how she seems to, somehow, only be getting better with age, after seeing her at the Union Chapel last week.

Bloke in the gents was just telling me all about his Meta glasses and somehow a public toilet seems like the appropriate place to see them for the first time in real life.
