David Bowie - Love Is Lost [James Murphy - LCD Sound system - remix] 2013 | Mirco Russo Bowie-ism

 Might sign off with this extraordinary piece by Bowie and Re-Mixed by LCD Sound System Major Domo James Murphy

"When I met him in his office in New York, I immediately understood: he was exactly the genius they had been talking about. Something unnatural. A charisma that left no room for doubt.

The Beatles count. The Black Sabbath, the Led Zeppelin, the Pink Floyd were huge — and in a certain sense inevitable. History was heading in that direction. Someone would come along.

Bowie didn't.

Bowie wasn't inevitable. He created something that wouldn't have existed without him.

And that's a huge thing."

| James Murphy, LCD Soundsystem

👉 At the time of the video release, the Columbia press release read: “filmed and edited by Bowie over the weekend, in his Manhattan studio. Total cost: $12.99 — the price of the USB stick purchased by Mr. Bowie to transfer the file.”

The Moody Blues - Capitol Theatre, Port Chester, NY, 11-27-2012 | Albums That Should Exist

 The Moody Blues - Capitol Theatre, Port Chester, NY, 27-11- 2012

Paul says: I just posted an announcement, asking for feedback on which of the Capitol Theatre in Port Chester soundboard leak concerts I should post first. The first comment suggested the Moody Blues, so here we go.

By 2012, the Moody Blues were well past their glory years, with their last studio album coming in 2003. They were down to three members dating back to the 1960s: Justin Hayward, John Lodge, and Graeme Edge. But they still put on a good concert, at you can hear here. They stayed together until the end of 2018, when Edge died. Since then, all the original members have passed except Hayward, the band's main singer and songwriter.

I have to admit I "cheated" a bit with this concert. The Capitol Theatre soundboard leak mentioned above actually included all of this November 27, 2012 concert, plus the second half of the November 28th. The set lists were basically the same, except the November 28th portion we have included the song "Driftwood." So I stuck that into this concert, in the same spot it occupied on November 28th.

This album is an hour and 52 minutes long.

The Moody Blues - Question [new single from Threshold records! 1970]

Kelly Boesch “Without You”

 We haven’t featured much Kelly lately but they can get a tad monotonous dare I say it (predictable if you will) but this writing is so heartfelt I felt like sharing this one as she reveals so much of the personal in this song but the music can get a tad typecast but none the worse for that here

Kelly shares:

"I wrote this song in Feb of 2025 but just reworked the production a bit. This is a very personal song for me. It comes from a time in my life, long ago, when I was in a relationship that wasn’t good for me, but I was afraid to leave. Sometimes you stay in something because you’ve convinced yourself that life without that person would be worse than the life you’re living.

I think one of the hardest things is recognising when something you once believed was love has become something that’s hurting you. And even when you know it, finding the courage to walk away isn’t always easy.

But something interesting happened when I finally did. All those things I was afraid of never really happened. Instead, I started feeling like myself again. I realised how much of myself I had lost trying to make something work that simply wasn’t right for me.

I wrote “Without You” about that realisation. It’s not really a song about anger or regret. It’s about getting to the other side of something difficult and discovering that you’re actually happier. And sometimes that’s a surprising thing to admit, even to yourself.

I think the line that says it all is: “Didn’t know how much I needed to lose you after all.” Sometimes letting go of someone is how you find your way back to yourself.

The visuals just really seemed to fit with this song. Again, I don’t always create visuals that are the exact story of the song. I pair them sometimes by feeling. I love the meditative feel of these scenes and the calmness in the characters. And the healing that is taking place in some scenes. Just really seemed to go together well. Hope you like it "

To Love Somebody

“To Love Somebody” (The Bee Gees cover) by Nina Simone

The DEFINITIVE version!

I have mentioned Nina before and this song particularly as it was perhaps inexplicably a Mod HIT and then some . . . if you were a mod you had to own this, take it to house parties and youth clubs and play and dance to it over and over was de rigeur

I don’t think we even knew then it was the Bee Gees who had written it and who were a sort of strange pop hit making machine (Joke, Mining Disaster etc etc) were sort of cool but this early fans became horrified by the Satyuday Night Fever malarkey and considered them a sell out
