Ziggy is 50 (1972)

I heard “Starman” and “Suffragette City” on the car radio this morning. The realisation soon hit me - Ziggy is 50 years old!

Bruce's Session - Jan 22

The themes were: Hot – whatever interpretation you wish, Video round – everyone gets to share some good visual stuff, Cool – whatever interpretation you wish on this one too

Trees Speak - OHMS (2020)

I’ve been waiting a long time to find this record. This is the first (proper) record by Tuscon, Arizona duo Trees Speak.

Pale Saints - Mrs. Dolphin (1991)

A recent Record Store Day vinyl compilation of a long lost, Japanese only CD from the long defunct Pale Saints (from Leeds) Pale Saints were often on my playlist back in the 90’s and one of my 4AD staples.

Fela Kuti - Fela's London Scene (1971)

Another absolute stunner from one of Afrobeat’s finest. This 50th Anniversary Reissue is “coolness” personified. Fela was best mates with Ginger Baker, who apparently, (this is uncredited on the album), helps out on the sublime “Egbe Mio”.
