Sticking with Jarrett and on to his best-known piece. The music will be familiar to most; the story behind it perhaps less so uncut.co.uk/features/koln-…. Am enjoying with strong fresh coffee
Continuing the Jarrett theme. An earlier one this morning. A good strong brew just like the coffee
Reminded in conversation with George Mair that I’d not listened to Keith Jarrett recently. Major oversight and time to rectify. Starting with his delightful interpretation of Carl Phillip Emanuel Bach. Strong fresh coffee to accompany
Please join us for an exciting event tomorrow on LSE's campus on Police & People in London!
A little bit of Bhundu Boys to bring cheer today. Add a drop of strong fresh coffee to taste
I’m not sure I’m afraid
Police and People in London: Whar’s changed in 40 years? Do come along to this event at the LSE on Friday www.lse.ac.uk/social-polic...

A bit of Cinematic Orchestra to accompany the strong fresh coffee today
Do I have one final writing project in me (time, energy, brain cells)? I’ve an idea for one, roughly speaking, but am not sure if it’s for an academic or trade publisher. If the latter I’d have to find myself an agent I guess. Anyway, some initial reading to do first
This morning I’ve been finishing Richard Wright’s Native Son (which I’d not read before) with Fela Kuti ‘live’ as the soundtrack. Strong fresh coffee incoming..
This morning it’s the latest from the Messthetics and James Brandon Lewis, together with strong fresh coffee. If the album is half as good as their last it’ll be a belter. Happy weekend all
It worked yesterday so I’m sticking with Van Morrison pro tem
Feeling a bit rubbish this morning so hunkering down with coffee and Van Morrison
Strong fresh coffee and the madly wonderful Justified Ancients of Mu Mu this morning. Crazy but belting

The mighty Mac Rebennack and strong fresh coffee this morning. Bliss it is
A bit of Joy Division alongside the strong fresh coffee this Monday morning. Have a good week all
Am re-reading Saul Bellow. Was rather into this stuff in my mid-20s. Not sure what I think now
7/7 So, plenty to choose from to finish off the week. When it came to it, it wasn’t Waits, Young, Van Zandt, Joy Division etc, etc. but this stone cold classic. Strong fresh coffee, sit back and turn the volume up!
6/7 Well, what to choose today? Tom Waits? Neil Young, Townes Van Zandt? Hard to argue with this I feel, or with strong fresh coffee in addition. So what’ll I finish off 7/7 belters with tomorrow?
Harsh..
5/7 another belter for day five. The Velvet Underground and Nico plus strong fresh coffee
4/7 Hard to imagine the excitement the Jam created live in 1977. Thus belter with strong fresh coffee this morning
3/7 Aiming for seven belters this week. Can’t be any argument against today’s selection. Washed down with strong fresh coffee
2/7 Looking for seven belters this week. Yesterday, Elvis’ My Aim is True. Today, to accompany the strong fresh coffee it’s Mezzanine, Massive Attack’s 1998 classic (with Elizabeth Fraser and Horace Andy guesting)
Don’t think I’ve seen this extraordinary picture before: David Forrester’s Three Wicked Men inspired by the story of Winston Rose who died in police custody in 1981
Belting start to the week. My Aim is True plus strong fresh coffee
Sister-in-law visiting and Leonard Cohen is an old favourite of hers. So, it’s Songs of Love and Hate this morning plus strong fresh coffee
