Moved! -You'll find me at my new home
I have moved to Listographers.co.uk where I’m continuing the Blog but also adding a podcast which is currently tly on Episode 3 at the time of writing. Listen to my inane ramblings about music and get angry at how poor the quality of the podcast is, all for free! You can find the podcast at Listographers.co.uk or on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

So I did a thing
I started a podcast, it’s called Listographers and it is about music lists, starting off with the top 15 albums of 1980. You can find it here: https://verianthomas.podbean.com/e/listographers-best-albums-of-1980/ I have no listeners yet, a couple would be nice 🙂
1001 Other Albums - 19 - Jimmy Smith - The Sermon
The Hammond organ, was, in my view, an awful instrument that makes an awful sound and they should all be collected in a big pile and burned. I was wrong about that, there are notable exceptions, such as the one played by Jimmy Smith who somehow makes it sound so damn cool. The Sermon is one of those albums that transports you to a dark, smoky club with a band on a tiny stage in the corner just…

Trying an internet radio station
I was creating internet radio shows by recording them and uploading them here and I really enjoyed doing that, then my laptop broke. I finally have it fixed! So I am going to try the radio shows again but this time through a hosted site. I’m not sure how it all works at the moment but I have something up and running which currently plays a selection of old Genesis songs, 24 hours a day every day!…

1001 Other Albums – 18 – Frank Sinatra – Come Dance With Me
1001 Other Albums – 18 – Frank Sinatra – Come Dance With Me
Despite the extremely creepy cover the songs within are not. Sinatra had a great run of albums in the 50’s, albums such as ‘Come Fly With Me’, ‘Songs for Swinging Lovers’ and others, there are three in the original 1001 albums book, but not this one, and I happen to own this one, so here it is. This was Sinatra’s most successful album, spending two and a half years on the Billboard charts.…

Much has happened since I was last able to post anything here. The main thing was my good lady wife spilling water on my MacBook and drowning it unto death, so I no longer have a machine from which I can regularly update. If this post has actually worked then I should be able to post some more bits and pieces in the future.

Twin Peaks - Cover Location
Twin Peaks – Cover Location
Apparently locating where the pictures for album covers were taken is a thing. I was having a browse through some that a discogs group had put together and there was Twin Peaks, which reminded me that I’d been there. Not Twin Peaks, it isn’t a real place, but where it was filmed, namely Snoqualmie in Washington State which I visited in 1998 (Twin Peaks first aired 90-91). It then occured to my…

Best Songs of 1978
Best Songs of 1978
Quite often I will listen to a song and remind myself when it was released by looking it up, I will then have a look to see what was released that same year and somehow end up making a list which results in a top xx of that year, this time it’s 82 tracks but if you would like to make it a round 100, give me another 18 songs! For reference, I was 11/12 in ’78. The vast majority of these songs were…

Lindisfarne - Magic In The Air
Lindisfarne – Magic In The Air
It was my Dad who bought this album, on cassette, and I have no idea what prompted him to do so as he wasn’t a big consumer of music, but buy this he did and it found its way to me at a time where I only had a cassette player and very few cassettes, so I played this pretty much every night as I fell to sleep for quite a few years, probably starting when I was around 12 or 13 years old. I listened…

100 best Tracks of the 1970's (Repost, just because)
100 best Tracks of the 1970’s (Repost, just because)
I have no idea why I started this bloody list as it’s proven to be really difficult. I’m looking at mostly 45’s but have had to throw a few album tracks in there as well. Back in the 70’s I had a few 45’s, not that many though, so the majority of these I didn’t have. I heard most of them either on the radio in the kitchen, in the car or at a friends place, some I heard much later. We consumed…

Verian Thomas – Untitled One
I have recently been working on some new music which is quiet and reflective. It has been some time since I’ve done anything much musically and in this lockdown year of 2020 it is important to have some form of creative outlet, this is mine. I enjoy repetition and this is the keystone of what I am trying to create, simple, repeating patterns that don’t insist on the listeners attention. The…

The Best Albums of 1984
The Best Albums of 1984
If I have missed anything obvious please make it known. In 1984 I was 17/18 and had been working for a year, so I had a little money, not a load, but enough to buy a few albums, but many of these I would have listened to after their actual year of release.
62 – The Specials – In The Studio
I listened to this for the first time today. I’d been aware of it but just never got around to…
