It was back to just music fun this week and with half an eye towards the Spring equinox towards the weekend. It’s been an interesting year so far, going by quick as expected, but with ups and downs and reminders to see them all as lessons and not attach. It was sort of appropriate to play Today Is A Good Day by New Model Army, who I found out last week are still with us which is nice. I’m not sure I took the song in the spirit it was intended as I was attempting to remind myself about living in the moment. I think they were talking about being a bit more proactive in our day to day dealings with the changes around us, which I thought was a great excuse to play music by Keny Arkana and Immortal Technique who are great at delivering messages powerfully and succinctly, certainly encouraging a bit pro-activity.
It was great to kick off with a rare appearance by Red Hot Chili Peppers, then Dinosaur Jr. appropriately being Almost Ready. I also celebrated great recent live gigs by show stalwarts Herida and Sabatta- Herida at the Edge bar in Basildon last Thursday and Sabatta at the Windmill in Brixton. You can listen to it all again here:
