Pretty good film as well, Flashbacks of a Fool.

That track is haunting.

The joy of itā€¦

Larry Gogans niece there on the vocals

Indeed. A Sistine Chapel of a track.

Listened to all of The Passionsā€™ stuff, back in the day. Nothing else comes remotely near. A freak piece of geniusā€¦

The White Stripes - Seven Nation Army

This showed up on a metal-themed playlist for me the other day and I must have listened to it 50 times since. An absolute gem

I was browsing through photo files tonight with a view to tidying them up and found a short recording of a local ensemble with a backing choir which played this classic one balmy July night in 2017 on the Piazza Del Duomo in San Gimignano.

I would really love to be back there right now sitting on the steps without a care in the world

Iā€™m listening to the 1st Roxy Music album. I donā€™t say this lightly but itā€™s as good as anything in the glam rock canon and Iā€™m including David Bowie Ziggy Stardust in that.
