Limited palette (olive green, indigo, warm white) landscape. High ridge line ascending left to right below pale, clouded but not dark sky. Hillside cloaked with shadows of trees, blurred and faded. Unfinished painting.

Happy 78th Birthday, Jeffrey Osborne 🎉🎂🎈🎊
🗣Every time I turn around, I’m back in love again…
Alright… stay with me a min.
Late ’70s. A song cut. About the singer’s man only coming ‘round when it suits him. Nothing special.
But club DJs start flipping the wax over.
And women on the floor?
They start singing it back… louder than the speakers.
Sometimes the B-side becomes the sermon.
#5debutalbums8589 De La Soul - 3 Feet High And Rising (1989) The kings of the Daisy age. Just lose the game show interludes, and this would be faultless. A positive counterbalance to Gangsta rap. New wave to Public Enemy's punk. Psychedelic subject matter as well, ranging from squirrels to dandruff.
#albumoftheday Lush - Scar (1989) sadly doesn't qualify for #5debutalbums8589 as its 6 tracks only stretch to 16 minutes. But what a way to spend a quarter of an hour. Dreamy noisy pop that is one of 4AD's hidden gems. Blink and its over. Best track - Etheriel #NowPlaying
#5debutalbums8589 Pet Shop Boys - Please (1986) Very British dance pop. Tennant's off-hand vocals paint a picture of being alone in the cold, dark, unforgiving city. Great 80's production. Also, they mention the Finland Station, a sadly under-mentioned train terminus in pop music. Nailed on top five
#5debutalbums8589 N.W.A - Straight Outta Compton (1988) Seminal gangsta rap album. Its nihilistic and feral approach is genuinely frightening even decades on. This is a window into a world that most of us never experience. To be clear, Compton is not the delightful village in West Sussex #NowPlaying
#albumoftheday #5debutalbums8589 Beastie Boys - Licenced To Ill (1986) Intoxicating word play coupled with the meatiest classic rock riffs. Why had no-one done this before the Beastie Boys & Rick Rubin. A mighty and innovative rap record. Best track - No Sleep Till Brooklyn #VinylCommunity
#5debutalbums8589 Coldcut - What's That Noise (1989) Moving from remixers-for-hire to their own LP was a brave move that paid off. They must have hammered the Filofax to get collaborators such as Lisa Stansfield, Mark E.Smith & Junior Reid. Dated but you can hear the pre-tremours of acid house.
#5debutalbums8589 Public Enemy - Yo! Bum Rush The Show (1987) Exciting and intoxicating but incredibly, even better was to come just 12 months later. All the elements are there but not quite fully formed and self-confident. #NowPlaying
#5debutalbums8589 The Jesus & Mary Chain - Psychocandy (1985) I was an early adopter of JAMC and recall being a bit disappointed with this debut album. However, this clash of Velvet Underground, The Shangri-las and the acoustics of a warehouse has aged remarkably well. #VinylCommunity
#5debutalbums8589 #albumoftheday Sisters Of Mercy - First And Last And Always (1985) That voice, with its portent of looming doom, takes centre stage. They weren't taken seriously by "the inkies" but by beezelbub, they have stood the test of time. Best track - Black Planet #NowPlaying
#5debutalbums8589 The Sugarcubes - Life's Too Good (1988) I haven't played this in years and had forgotten just how good and varied it is. Obviously, Birthday is the highlight, but there's so much more to enjoy here - Deus . #NowPlaying
#VinylCommunity Stanley Clarke - School Days (1976) A £1.50 charity shop find. This is funkier than a teenager's bedroom. Groove laden lengthy instrumental workouts. Definitely a keeper and another rabbit hole to go down. Man, that bass playing. #NowPlaying
People will now be driving to work entirely to pay for the money to drive to work.

Reverend Jesse Jackson called on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope; to step forward and say “Send me” wherever we have a chance to make an impact.
How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him.
Who is still listening music on Vinyl? #vinyl #oldschool
Brilliant 🏆
Isata Kanneh-Mason absolutely tears through Rachmaninoff’s fiendish Piano Concerto No. 3 with the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra.
