Thank you. It’s rather freaking me out tbh.

Yep. Off to hospital next week. Whoo hoo. Still, I learned a new word. Yay.

Well done on your success though.

Never heard of them before, and I suspected they'd be pretty far from my usual listening choices, but in deference to Mrs FunkyD, I listened and even watched the video....which was, frankly, bizarre!
I liked the funky scratchy Chic guitar, the old school breathy keyboard sound and the 'go-go' bells.

Excellent choice!

I'm so glad you posted this. I keep seeing the bloke on my news feed (and watched one or two clips, which impressed me - I'm a fan of the Professor Branestawm type) but hadn't actually heard the song until now.
It's brilliantly, bonkers-ly British!

Sounds like I was listening to the wrong era.

I'll leave you to decide which era I might have thought was 'wrong'!

Really enjoyed that, but best of all your clever link to the emoji made me laugh out loud....once it finally clicked in my slow brain!

I have True Blue on a Japanese Blue Note comp….and it never occurred to me that it wasn’t a woman!!

Sidetracked eh? Tell me about it!!

Glad you like it. He’s possibly my favourite currently active β€˜new’ recording artist.

Back home now.

I scored sufficiently highly to progress on to the next level. πŸ˜•

I post his stuff from time to time. I really like his solo stuff, and I really enjoy/recommend his radio show, so it surprises me that I’m not very keen on the Walkmen tracks I’ve heard.

I hoped you would like this one too. He has such an engaging, uplifting style.

Ha ha! That was......something!

I noticed you'd posted this yesterday, but wanted to wait until I had time to fully focus on it. Glad I did. What a moving performance of a beautiful song.

Please do!

Thought it might appeal.

There’s a certain β€˜story’ element too, so it’ll hopefully tick @asimongardner.bsky.social β€˜s (pizza) box too

Thanks. You too.

I’m sitting in the waiting room now, surrounded by all these OLD men…and I suddenly realize I am an old man. 😫

Always happy to post this guy, here singing about jobs he had before hitting the big time, including as a 'Freshman in college I was delivering pizza'.

I’m getting blood test results, the poking may or may not occur.

Maybe it’s got its heart set on you. No other owl hoot comes close. Every year, it gets lured by your siren call, only to be spurned!

You’ve got that the wrong way around.

You’d be very welcome.

None of my family are eating it! 😫 Not sweet enough for my daughter and too many eggs for my wife. 😒

Oh wow! It’d be amazing if you managed to tempt one in.

I think you’ll enjoy it. In parts.
