there's quite a few decent versions out there ... for me Joe Batann's runs a close-ish second to Gill Scott Heron

The Hu, you’ve, you've, you, I heard it on planet rock and can’t get the track out of my head, can’t beat a bit of Mongolian throat music.

We’ve had a big resurgence of just putting on a CD and playing albums in its entirety in our house, during the lockdown. Something I really missed since streaming music has become the mainstream.

Our collection between us is quite a mixed. We’ve rediscovered The Smiths to Fleetwood Mac. Cast, Starsailor and Suede.
Ocean Colour Scene brought back a lot of memories too.

Hopefully this is something we’ll continue.

Care to share any you've been introduced to? Finding new music is always a buzz, but becomes harder with age

If you are looking for an upcoming Indie band, The K's are on the rise, and they have just announced a show in the Bully for October.

It's been a long time since I've been referred to as 'younger people'

Infected is a great album, although I think I prefer Soul Mining. Out of the blue (into the fire) is a top track.

Interesting but powerful take on one of the all-time classics.....as someone says in the comments, the original was a warning, this is the battle cry when the original warning was ignored.....
