The album, _Sometimes I Might Be Introvert_ by Little Simz. I had never heard of her but just watched the first 2 episodes of _Dope Thief_ and the theme song is :

Led Zeppelin always improves my mood so I’ve been listening to aLOT today. Here’s a great fan\*made film on Y’tube for “HOTH”.

Currently listening to Jeff Beck’s “Blow By Blow” album. It’s good background music while I’m trying to concentrate on some work tasks.

Is that the album I air-guitared to (Half-Speed Mastered version!) more than any other? Maybe. Wired is up there.

That’s a good one. I was getting “Hey Mickey” vibes, but “Footloose” is a bit closer.

Well, in that spirit, I am actually listening to [_Souvenirs d’un autre monde_](https://youtu.be/AOTiIH82sfA?feature=shared) by [Alcest](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcest). This is literally my first time listening to them. (Dig it so far.)

I’m not literally listening to anything right now, but my most recent listening (yesterday afternoon) was [The Dirty Nil](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dirty_Nil)’s album _Higher Power_, and I listened to the whole thing so the last song was _[Bury me at the Rodeo](https://youtu.be/0UyC93rFpzs?si=qLmgtV2RpKqPBjUy)_.

This thread just popped up again. A friend of mine passed away a few years ago, and his wife/our friend sent me a box of his CDs, and I’ve been listening to Jean Michel Jarre’s “Oxygene” as a result. Enjoyable background listening, though bits remind me of Gershon Kingsley’s “Popcorn” (wikipedia says that’s no coincidence).

Now I have two earworms, “Popcorn” and “Oxygene”. Both were big hits in my childhood and some of the earliest songs I remember.

🤣

Currently enjoying Police’s “Synchronicity”. Like Paul Simon’s “Graceland”, this thing just works beautifully listened to start to finish.

This is so good, thanks for telling me about it. (that’s what I’m listening to, so not a tangent!) Though some of it quite wistful given events, but still also some lovely bright spots (emotionally).

I’m on phone duty this afternoon so I have my iTunes “instrumental” playlist going. Current track is “Blue Velvet” by [Hal Singer.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hal_Singer)

ETA: now “40 Miles of Bad Road” credited to Bud Ashton. Sax part is different from the better known version by Duane Eddy.
