20/18 - I Could Avoid Wasting My Life

Crispy cold autumn nights. Then infinitely high blue skies. I've felt conspicuously happy this week.




Leonard Cohen - Love Calls You By Your Name

Perhaps I'm between the peanuts and the cage.


James Blake - Don't Miss It

A respite from the cyclical thoughts James sings about. A calm eye on the afternoon sun's play with the litter on the street. A few seconds pause to take in the smell of home before entering the house. A coffee in the garden surrounded by titmice. Perhaps I'm getting old. Don't miss it.


Black Joe Lewis & The Honeybears - Sugarfoot

And now for one, two, three shots of caffeine straight into your bloodstream.


Gal Costa - Vou Recomeçar

Ok, so it's only two lists since the last Gal Costa tune. But I sure can't get enough. So catchy it almost trips you up.


Elvis Presley - If I Can Dream

I learnt this week that Elvis insisted on and fought for closing his 'Comeback Special' with this performance as a tribute to Martin Luther King only a few weeks after MLK was murdered. And damn, was he right to.
