What are you listening to, GD?

Spinning the latest Puscifer album 'Existential Reckonings'. Released over a month ago, but I wasn't aware of it until today. That has made it a pretty good week overall, given The Kills released a B-side and rarities album two days ago, and the Chris Cornell estate dropped a new album on the same day!


I've also been listening to a lot of Gabor Szabo over the past week. Not an artist where you can appreciate his oeuvre from a solitary track, but e.g:

I stood 10 foot from him at a show at The Robin 2 and when it ended I stayed behind a bit talking to friends, went the bog and Tommy was outside doing an impromptu show to around 6 people and me. One of the greatest musical nights of my life.
 
Currently on the new ACDC album. Not quite up with back in black, but in an era where proper rock is a rarity I can appreciate it for being a decent album.
 
Had a bit of a schadenlol sticking £70 of unleaded in the car today as I drove around Bewdley today when this absolute banger came on Absolute Radio 80s.


To be clear, Boris can get absolutely slathered in something disgusting. Lying bar steward.
 
Without going all @Jean-F, in 2007 I went to Red by Night on the Dudley Canal not far from the Merry Hill shopping centre just outside of Stourbridge on an indirect birthday invite for somebody I didn't really know. The only reason I went was because I was very sweet on a girl from my politics A-Level class who happened to be going. Anyway, I went along and thankfully the drinks had been heavily watered down. This song played as me and the girl I was sweet on sat down at a table for a cuddle and a chat.


Driving back on the A4036 and Hagley Road in my sheddly Corsa 1.2 twinport was equally not the best thing ever but also I was riding a wave of teenage adrenaline.

Then some years later I would buy my first 'grown up' car, a 6 series BMW that was stupid on so many levels that it deserves its own thread. However, I will always remember buying that absolute nightmare of a beautiful care by the first song on the radio as I drove it home:


One of my 'favourite' memories was pulling off the M5 at Junction 27 on the way to Barnstaple and suddenly realising that the self-leveling xenon headlamps had given up the ghost and were aiming squarely at the ground. Not ideal when you have another 45-60 minute drive down an unlit A-road at 8pm and the service station didn't have allen keys long enough to manually adjust the bloody lights. Sweaty drive.
