Day 461: Night Moves, Bob Seger
This is another classic song from Bob Seger capturing the waywardness of love when one is a teenage twenty something or other.

Covid Island Discs
Day 460: Heaven knows I’m miserable now, The Smiths
So last week was meant to be the final week of Covid Island Discs until the new delta variant of the virus put an end to the final restrictions of the UK lockdown being lifted. In the final week I cited for the first time a Smiths song which I guess was a bit of

Day 459: Jurassic Park, Stand Atlantic
OK so today I went for my first swim at Grand Central. The last time I swam there was the same week Covid Island Disc started as this was the last time the pool was open before the UK went into lockdown. Although the pool opened again in 2021, I have been back until today

Day 458: Country House, Blur
So I guess one good thing about being forced to continue Covid Island Discs for another month is I get to cite multiple songs from bands like Blur and the Smiths: both these bands I did not cite until what I thought was the final week of Covid Island Discs so therefore it seemed at

Day 457: Billie Jean, Michael Jackson
OK so as I said in an earlier citation of Michael Jackson’s “Beat it” song Michael Jackson is not my favourite artist which is why this is only the second time he has appeared in Covid Island Discs. However, if “Beat it” is my favourite song this one is definitely my second favourite as it

Day 456: Left of the Middle, Natalie Imbruglia
Well as we start a new week of Covid Island Discs which was never meant to be because we were due to come out of lockdown on the 21st of June. As the final relaxation of lockdown restrictions has now been pushed back to the 19th of July, I thought I would start this week

Week 65 Video Playlist Summary
So this was meant to be the last week of Covid Island Discs but sadly the government has delayed the final relaxation of lockdown restrictions due to the delta variant of Covid-19 which is currently spreading rapidly in the UK population. The two videos I recommend watching this week is “Park life” by Blur and

Day 455: The fool on the hill, The Beatles
The day John Lennon was assassinated I came home from school and my Mum told me the news as I came through the front door of our house in Gurney Crescent Seaforth. At the time I actually did not know much about the Beatles but this was all to change as over the following months

Day 454: Twilight, Electric Light Orchestra
This song is pretty technofunky and captures very much the music of the 80s. I still remember so clearly when this album came out. My brother bought the album for me on vinyl and I literally played this song over and over for about a week. At the time I was off school with shingles

Day 453: Babaji, Supertramp
A final song from Supertramp as Covid Island Discs draws to a close. Another intense song from a band that for me is like an old friend – their music brings me much joy and comfort.
