Last week was a bit of an odd one. Started digging for tunes … and was generally uninspired. Not sure if it was me, a lack of digging, or just a poor week for releases, but nothing jumped out and slapped me, made me think “yeah, YEAH, this is killer!”.
Anyway the upshot was I didn’t post anything – don’t want to let the standards drop do we?
Ok, I’ll admit it, in a haze of cheese, turkey and Quality Street, I forgot what day, hell, what week it even was it was, hence the non-emergence of anything on the blog from me, since before Christmas.
Ooops – best rectify that now.
(Oh, and many thanks for The Canteen and the thoroughly goofy and highly talents Mustard Brass Band for having me play on the 23rd – check those guys and gals out, especially if you like barefoot breakdancing tuba players, as pictured above)
Apologies for the break in service – been busy parenting. When the little darlings are being swine about going to sleep at an even vaguely reasonable hour, I’m utterly lacking in energy to write.
Still, back now …
Aaaah, and I’ve recovered – spent the weekend awake in the early hours of the morning, and went to three different parties …. unfortunately, the parties were all for kids under 6, and the sleeplessness was due to the youngest being awake half the night.
FML.
Still, we’ve always got the music, right?
Finally got the kids to bed, best crack a beer and get on with this weeks tunes eh?
Demob happy!
Off to Cornwall (hopefully not as rainy as above) with a stack of mates for half term and I really should be packing, but first you lucky *lucky* people get to receive another weekly slab of the three best tracks to hit my ears this week, and there’s a couple of corkers in there – enjoy.
Bit of a milestone this week – number 150 up on the scoreboards
When I first started writing these 7 years ago, before kids and the break in playing that caused, in an different house, I never imagined I’d write this many musical missives. I’ve dug tracks up from a daft range of genres, from Jungle to Jazz, Footwork to Funk and
I’m going to keep doing this until you or I get bored – whichever comes first.
(hint: I doubt it’ll be me … )
Best make this a good one eh?
Feelin’ a bit autumnal at the moment isn’t it? Wonder if that’ll be reflected in this weeks tunes?
After a forthnight, I think I’ve finally caught up on sleep, though I think it might be a few weeks before I finally manage to completely deglitter myself – Shambala ’17, you were epic. It really reminded me of my old Big Chill days, but with an even more eclectic musical lineup and stronger ‘fringe’ of events. I can see me and mine coming back next year.
Right, tunes.
