Sam Lee - Ground Of Its Own (2012)

Traditional British folk music. As far as I know, Sam Lee is to British music what Ry Cooder is to American music. He explores the musical roots and preserves them through slightly modern interpretations.

Keston Cobblers' Club - One, For Words (2012)

Does anybody know this band? I saw them live when the record came out, but haven't followed their career since then. They make a kind of traditional folk music with pop melodies and use a variety of instruments.

Auf TikTok ruft eine Frau Kirchen durch und fragt nach Milchpulver für ihr Baby. Es ist ein soziales Experiment, weil ja gerade keine Sozialleistungen ausbezahlt werden aufgrund des Shutdowns, u.a. Essensmarken.

Eine Moschee und eine kl Kirche in d Appalachen waren die Einzigen, die helfen wollten.

Nelson Mandela’s granddaughters went to Israel in October 2025.
Their takeaways:

🚫No Apartheid
🚫No Genocide
🚫No Starvation

They learned Israel has been feeding Gaza LONG before the war.

GZA wants the war to end.
ISR wants peace.

Wir machen uns viel Mühe, zu erklären, woher die unterschiedl Antisemitismen kommen und wie sie sich verkleiden, aber eigentlich ist es doch leicht: wer den Begriff "#Genozid" bezogen auf Gaza nachplappert ist auf antisemitischem Weg; wer ihn überzeugt verwendet, ist angekommen.

Stevie Ray Vaughan - Texas Flood (1983)

Blues was out of fashion back then. With this brilliant album and thanks to the support of David Bowie, who saw him at a festival in 1982 and then asked him to play lead guitar on Let's Dance, Vaughan initiated a blues rock revival.

Ozzy Osbourne - Blizzard Of Ozz (1980)

"Blizzard of Ozz was a masterpiece of neo-classical metal that, along with Van Halen's first album, became a cornerstone of '80s metal guitar." (Steve Huey, AllMusic)

Marillion - Script For A Jester's Tear (1983)

An essential neo-prog album, which is often compared to the early Genesis albums. I like it a lot and will probably choose it.

Aztec Camera - High Land, Hard Rain (1983)

I'm not sure yet which albums will make it into my top 5 tomorrow. This album will certainly be one of them. It must have a deeper quality, because I like it more with every listen.
