The wonderful @4for4-john.bsky.social is back to talk all things Last DJ! John actually saw one of the two dates at the Olympic, so I get to ask him about that!

Hi all! There won't be an episode this week unfortunately. My body is fighting something (a couple of the other people in the house have been sick this weekend/week) and I'm just wiped! No other symptoms apart from the fatigue, but I'll see you next week!

There goes the fast DJ
Who plays when he wants to play
And takes care of old Green Bay
Hey hey hey.....

Whaddya think? I reckon this could be a new anthem for @chicagobearsx.bsky.social fans....

#np Have Gun, Will Travel : Voyager Golden EP
Appropriately, on 10" gold vinyl as homage to the Voyager 1 golden record, this is just a fantastic little EP. Clocking in at right around 22 minutes, it's tight, focused, and impeccably performed.

A couple of new tee designs up (on sale!) in the store for you folks! First of all, we needed a Spike tee! Next up is a faithful recreation of the Happy Hour Pool Hall tee that Tom is wearing on stage in the photo.

@ursell66.bsky.social is back to run through my ten questions and give me his thoughts on his favourite album, which version of Walls he prefers, and which song he'd want to cover with the Heartbreakers.

This week, before we wrap up the last song from The Last DJ, I’m sharing a conversation that I had with an English gent that I met through my Queen podcast and someone I’ve gotten to know a little over the last two or three years named; @ursell66.bsky.social

I would put this among the best songs Tom ever wrote. The pace of it is sublime, the tempo adding to the warm, comforting feel offered by the instrumentation.

I didn't have a chance to post out the episode that dropped yesterday with the brilliant Matt Burke from Have Gun, Will Travel, which is his answers to my ten questions. Check it out, it was a lot of fun!

In last week’s outro I’d intimated that I hear a strong resemblance between this song and another favourite band of mine, The Kinks.

You and Me is another “little song”, if we use Ivan Anderson’s brilliant concept of what that means; it doesn’t shoot for the moon, doesn’t explore nuanced or clever or grand themes.

The last song we talked about on the podcast was Blue Sunday.

Back in February of 2022, Jake Thistle played this one for me and his Youtube followers on our live stream. It was a fabulous piano rendition and I wanted to share it again. It wowed me then and still does now!

Ya'll ready for a big weekend? I thought I'd start curating weekend playlists for you!!!

This week, it's 24 songs mixing some of the artists I was lucky enough to see in Gainesbille, with local indie artists that I know, a few I've chatted to on the pod, and a few bigger acts!
