    Another sad loss. I didn’t realise he was that old though, 25 years older than me at 75 - still no age these days, it made him older that I thought he was at the height of their heyday, if that makes sense. R.I.P.

    Yes I was 20 when I saw them live at City Of London Uni. The Cars has just their 2nd album I believe, I thought he was in his twenties not 34. They were really great.

    Default Spinning Today - What Are You Listening To Right Now? (Part 3)

    This is the most recent, St Germain is the performance name for Ludovic Navarre, his first album from 95 is Boulevard, more Acid jazz with crossovers, then in 99 was “From Detroit to St Germain” which I am trying to find at a sensible price on vinyl, then in 2000 was “Tourist” sold 4 million worldwide a cracking mix jazz downtempo album, my favourite, then the eponymously named album.
