Lover of popular music but always wanting to find out more. That golden period between 1978 and 1985 is where my heart lies but always willing to try something else.

Remembering Billy Mackenzie today with a look at his last album as The Associates - Wild and Lonely

"Throughout, Billy’s still remarkable vocal range and exquisite song writing is capable of sending a shiver down the coldest of spines."

Day 15

The Jam - Just Who Is The 5 O'clock Hero?

The band at their peak, Weller's writing consistently gritty, realistic with touches of lyrical beauty amongst the grime. One of the most relatable songs ever written. A play for today in a 3 minute pop song.

There's a whole different spirit of competition among these young skiers / snow boarders. It's fabulous to watch and kind of hopeful too. #WinterOlympics
