Top 5 Jack Nicholson films anyone ?here’s mine
1. Chinatown
2. Five Easy Pieces
3. The Last Detail
4. One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest
5. The Departed
I’m sure “The King of Marvin Gardens”
should make this list but its been over 40 years since I watched it

Listening to Bill Ryder Jones
“A Bad Wind Blows In My Heart”

Listening to The Kinks 20th studio album “State of Confusion”
Released 41 years ago this month (in the USA)
Really strong set of songs on this, contains the single “Come Dancing”

Played “Get Happy!!” through a couple of days on the bounce, can confirm that 40 odd years after I bought my copy it’s still one of Elvis Costello & the Attractions finest 👌🏻

Listening to Wishbone Ash
“Live Dates 2”
Perfectly compliments “Live Dates” from seven years earlier, essential Ash I reckon

Listening to Talking Heads debut album “77”
This is one of the best tracks on it… they’re all great tracks though

Listening to “Sleepwalker” by The Kinks the 16th studio album by the band, released in 1977 it’s a cracking album, have to be honest a pretty recent discovery for me, glad I got there in the end

Hmm a definitive 4 probably impossible but these would be high on the list
Four favourite debut albums.Whats yours ?

From the self titled debut album (with exclamation mark dropped after the second album) Ultravox … “I Want To Be A Machine”
This song could have slipped onto an early 70s Peter Hammill album no bother (that’s a compliment)

Re watched Orson Wells “The Stranger” this evening, regarded as a lesser Wells film by some, still a excellent film the three leads Wells, Edward G Robinson and Loretta Young are superb
From 1946 perhaps the earliest Nazi hunter film

Listening to some early Ultravox
Any favourites here or do you prefer the Midge Ure years to John Foxx ?
I like both versions of the band but they are different listens
“Systems of Romance” - Foxx
“Vienna” - Ure
Are my personal choice 🤔

Pere Ubu ... 'We Have The Technology' .... From the album 'The Tenement Year' .... 1988 youtu.be/vbH_Jlfe4UM?si…

After 3 weeks of failure I finally cracked the Saturday Guardian killer sudoku again

Probably listening to these over the weekend 🤔
