Full Circle

In 1997 my partner and I moved from Leicester to York. On Tuesday we move back to a Leicestershire village just a few miles from where we used to live. Appropriately, as we travel south I shall be accompanied by Half Moon Run singing Full Circle. It's a catchy tune with a contemplative feel and one of the…Read more Full Circle

Leaders of the World

Nearly 10 years ago now a new song on the radio interrupted my idle thoughts. After a few quiet drum beats a gritty bass line cut in like a teacher's voice. "Pay attention, children!", it said. Dutifully, I sat up and listened. The authoritarian voice of the teacher started to sing - "I'm sick of working for a…Read more Leaders of the World

Live in Dublin

One of the albums on my wish list for last Christmas was Leonard Cohen's Live in Dublin. It wasn't in my stocking then but I did get a generous helping of iTunes vouchers for my birthday at the end of January so I bought it as a download.

As…Read more Love Song #43

King Crimson

They say, if you invent a better mousetrap the world will beat a path to your door. I think there is some truth in that, but it has to be a much better mousetrap. Fortunately, there are a few examples of products that are so desirable that they hardly need to be promoted at all: the Morgan sports car, the…Read more King Crimson

Side

This blog is the story of my journey through the hills and valleys of the land we call Music. On my travels I have already come across a shape with three sides (Alt-J, "the alternative triangle band") and one with five sides (Pentangle, whose trees they do grow high). It's hard to imagine a shape…Read more Side
