Taking a break from #livesessionsunday for a bit, so this week’s belated #newrelease is Lime Cordiale’s new album 14 Steps To A Better You, which is a low key chilled disc that that really fits my recent personal vibe. This kind of beachy surf rock (that doesn’t take a lazy route by playing as boneless white boy reggae) is calming, but not in a patronising way, and it really speaks to the current social mood. We all need to chill and ride this thing out. Highlight tracks include That’s Life, No Plans To Make Plans, On Our Own, and Screw Loose. Available on iTunes and Spotify. I’ve been keeping up with the gym activity, but spending less time doing reviews. In a weird headspace, mostly just tired. #gym #health #fitness #fit #beard #ink #tattoos #sunday #legday #comewithmeifyouwanttolift #irontherapy #limecordiale #14stepstoabetteryou #2020 #thatslife #noplanstomakeplans #onourown #screwloose #rock #alternative #softrock #indie #surfrock #itunes #spotify #australia https://www.instagram.com/p/CC0RCZ0AZk1/?igshid=18m4hb9f25tgx

Arctic Monkeys don’t have a proper live album available to stream, so for this week’s #livesessionsunday I’m doing their 2011 and 2013 iTunes Festival sets. With a cumulative runtime of just over 40 minutes, the sets see the British rockers in their creative prime, so we get effectively a best-of playlist between them. They carry a pretty consistent energy between hem so they loop well into one another, and the recording quality is top notch. Shout out to @lauragbert, one of your fave artists to hopefully boost you through the rough times. Available on iTunes and Apple Music. Leg work was good, recovering from a long week though. Don’t be optimistic about things. #gym #health #fitness #fit #beard #ink #tattoos #sunday #legday #comewithmeifyouwanttolift #irontherapy #arcticmonkeys #itunesfestival #2011 #2013 #applemusic #itunes #rock #alternative #punk #itunes #spotify https://www.instagram.com/p/BzU9UcvgUiQ/?igshid=169wh9vkgoyyu

It’s been ten years so Alive 2007, the Daft Punk live album, takes the spot for this week’s #livesessionsunday. I generally don’t listen to a lot of dance or electronic music, but when I do it’s hard not to throw some Daft Punk bangers into the mix, and this album has some rare mashups that absolutely sing. The French duo are said to be at their best in a studio setting, but this album and so many other live performances would make an argument for them being even in their exceptional musical experience. Seriously check this one out, even if you’re only a passing fan; you won’t be disappointed. Available on iTunes and Spotify. Kind of sketch leg session, one knee has been playing up and favouring the other is causing new issues, but according to the physio I’m doing the right things. Guess I’ll leave it at that. #gym #health #fitness #fit #beard #ink #tattoos #sunday #legday #comewithmeifyouwanttolift #irontherapy #daftpunk #alive2007 #live #2007 #10thanniversary #alternative #dance #electronic #techno #music #french #itunes #spotify

You know what? Fuck you, I make the rules for #livesessionsunday and if I want to do a live-streamed quarantine iso-concert like Powderfinger’s One Night Lonely then I will. This is one of the most competent and impassioned projects I’ve seen in some time, especially considering the covid related constraints around it, picking some of the iconic australian rock band’s best tracks from across their career and making them available to everyone with network access. Didn’t like it? That sounds like your problem. Available free on pretty much all streaming platforms, iTunes, and Spotify. Leg day was fine, pretty distracted right now. I need a massive change. That’s largely why I’m thinking of moving either interstate or at least a long distance from where I am now once all of this quarantine stuff settles down. I don’t know. Tired of feeling like an occasionally useful spectre here. #gym #health #fitness #fit #beard #ink #tattoos #sunday #legday #comewithmeifyouwanttolift #irontherapy #powderfinger #onenightlonely #2020 #live #rock #alternative #folk #australia #itunes #spotify https://www.instagram.com/p/CB-dYa1Ad1j/?igshid=6nuh2uc69f62

After a ten week break we’re back with another #livesessionsunday, featuring funk legends Parliament and their 1977 album Live; P Funk Earth Tour. Back when I used to actively play music, the works of Bootsy Collins and George Clinton were a heavy influence, and the incredible flow of their music is not lost in the translation from studio to stage, and if anything gains a whole new funky energy and identity driven by the out of this world vibe that Parliament carry. Over four decades on, and it’s still as fresh now as it was then. Available on iTunes and Spotify. I’m not gonna bore you with the myriad physical and mental health dramas of the last two months, just glad to get back to a solid leg day and a good little cardio thrash. This is one of few old normals I’d like to carry over to the new. #gym #health #fitness #fit #beard #ink #tattoos #sunday #legday #cardio #comewithmeifyouwanttolift #irontherapy #parliament #pfunkearthtour #1997 #live #funk #rnb #georgeclinton #bootsycollins #teartheroofoffthesucker #itunes #spotify https://www.instagram.com/p/CBZkLZBA6Uh/?igshid=115ttge84bz59

There is a good chance this will be my last review in this form for a while due to #covid_19 so I’m glad I’m pausing #livesessionsunday on a high with Live Evil, the only live (non bonus disc) Black Sabbath album with Ronnie James Dio in the lead. I’ve looked at this album before and felt the hype then, and nothing has really changed about that. Dio and the Sabbath boys mesh together perfectly, and the energy doesn’t let up for a moment in this hour and a half set. The 2009 master cleans up the few imperfections that existed in the original release, and overall I was left wanting more. Dio was a fucking legend. Available on iTunes and Spotify. Yeah so like I said, gyms are likely to shut down, so I’m either going to change the format of this or you’re gonna start seeing me in way less flattering lighting. Leg session was good at least, some people who mean a lot to me are seeing good things happen, so I’m in a good place. #gym #health #fitness #fit #beard #ink #tattoos #sunday #legday #comewithmeifyouwanttolift #irontherapy #liveevil #blacksabbath #dio #ronniejamesdio #1982 #rock #metal #heavymetal #doommetal #speedmetal #itunes #spotify https://www.instagram.com/p/B-B1eAwgWpZ/?igshid=15d6apmb95g9u

This week’s #livesessionsunday, Fleetwood Mac’s 1980 album Live, is brought to you by that video of a toad just vibing on a vinyl playing Dreams. For a band notorious for their on and offstage tensions, the performances on these tracks taken from their Tusk and Rumours tours mask it well, and the mix on this live disc blends them together well enough that you could almost mistake it for a single cohesive performance. Just a whole mood to cap off the week really, putting on the veneer that everything is fine when it’s really not. Yeah. Great album though, available on iTunes and Spotify. The return to the treadmill was good, would have preferred clear weather for an outdoor morning run but whatever. #gym #health #fitness #fit #beard #ink #tattoos #sunday #cardio #comewithmeifyouwanttolift #irontherapy #fleetwoodmac #live #1980 #rumours #tusk #stevienicks #rock #rockandroll #poprock #bluesrock #artpop #itunes #spotify https://www.instagram.com/p/B9d77e9gxYL/?igshid=pm1f5fdg7qs3

Kinda weird that The Goo Goo Dolls released their 2018 live album The Audience Is This Way as two separate discs, but as a complete set they make a solid 80 minute #livesessionsunday set for this week. A lot of people write the band off as a boneless replacement for The Replacements, I’ve been guilty of that in the past, but they’re a solid pop rock band in their own right who know how to please a crowd. If they’re your thing, check it out, and if not, don’t even worry about it. Available on iTunes and Spotify. Running out of distractions and probably gonna have to face reality again soon, not a vibe. #gym #health #fitness #fit #beard #ink #tattoos #sunday #cardio #comewithmeifyouwanttolift #irontherapy #thegoogoodolls #2018 #theaudienceisthisway #alternative #rock #pop #live #itunes #spotify https://www.instagram.com/p/B86Ff6pg7XR/?igshid=y8zlkwnzjj9s
