Not a bad sunrise over the Donjon...

All Mod Cons by The Jam was released 47 years ago yesterday...
An album I was introduced to by a friend that changed my listening tastes on first listening, that I'll be forever grateful...

...then around the corner our shadows caught on a tree lined white road

Black dog in sunshine, his shadow and that of a man are cast on a tree lined country lane

From an album I don't play enough, namely Spector at the Feast...
I also have the cd where they played the album in full that was recorded at a Paris concert...

And just like that they score twice...

Currently watching England v Australia rugby on French TV with French commentary and drinking a very nice French brewed IPA, just need an England score...

And Labour appear to think these types on X can be placated, instead of ignoring them and checking what the majority of the electorate actually want....

Good luck getting through them all...

With Fear and the original i really enjoyed the first few seasons, but as with so many shows they seemed to lose their way by trying to hard...

I've not really seen any of the spin offs but might have to check them out, especially the Daryl one in Europe...

A top tune, indeed let the good times roll...

Good luck with the new job..

Were the band playing behind chicken wire with bottles being thrown at them, or am I thinking of a different film?

Token 2 is Some Kind of Ghost by Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, from their 6th studio album that was used in an episode of Fear the Walking Dead...

Same for me...

Gary Davies (not a DJ or a Rev) @propanegary.bsky.social · 5d

I was also surprised when I first heard it and liked it straight away...

Gary Davies (not a DJ or a Rev) @propanegary.bsky.social · 5d

That it did...

There aren't many songs I'll let play on the titles instead of fast forwarding through them but this is one of them....

Gary Davies (not a DJ or a Rev) @propanegary.bsky.social · 5d

Good afternoon Michael and Kitty

Token 1 is Gangstagrass with Long Hard Times to Come, the theme tune to Justified...

A lovely bit of what I'll call 'Country Rap'...

Our 5th anniversary of signing for our French house, what was a bar and restaurant that the older residents remember when we mention it...
So it's time for more wine...

Not good news, we've also been warned about this in Deux Sevres, telling us to stay away from any sick or dead birds and call Mairie or the Gendarmerie....

Sunlight caught the top of the tree with it autumn colours as a dark cloud passed behind it...

No worries...
