I thought you might just be trying to stretch out the bidding process!

That is a tricky one but I think we'll be able to do it.

Field Music @fieldmusicmusic.bsky.social · 1d

We are probably a bit overconfident about that one, judging from the lock-in session we've just posted.

Observational! I like it!

For better or worse, there's only one song from the first two albums we've ruled out for being too difficult to play. Can you guess which one?

It's only 4 weeks until we kick off our 20th Anniversary shows at @nathbrudenell.bsky.social and Islington Assembly Hall! I wonder if old David can remember what young David was playing?

So, I guess the @nytimes.com puzzle guy is a Big Star fan. Nice.

It's got a high ideas-per-minute score.

And if anyone has any idea what the chords are in the middle section of 17, I'll give you a biscuit.

Try this (which has the Kind of Biue rhythm section) and maybe My Funny Valentine (which has Herbie Hancock, Tony Williams and Ron Carter).

Jazz chat time. Miles Davis' post-Coltrane, pre-Shorter era is hugely underrated. This record is sensational (as are the live recordings with George Coleman on tenor).

Another one of those mad schemes where everything that makes an area desirable from a developer's point of view is threatened by their development. A few days left to let them know that this is a terrible idea.

Hopefully, we'll all have a laugh showing just what can happen when a smidgeon of inspiration and the odd over-ambitious tendency meet the very real constraints of budget, time and a wavering level of expertise.
