Rufus & Chaka Khan - You Got The Love

One of the best albums ever made I think.  I used to have it on vinyl AND CD - like a choob I got rid of both (tiny house, clutter etc..) and now that I would like to buy them again, I find that, of course, you have to pay £70 and upwards for vinyl and about £30 to £50 for the CD.  

Life's Soundtrack. Captain Beefheart - Old Folks Boogie {1966}

I'm not a big fan of Captain Beefheart except for 'Safe as Milk'.  I first heard that album a long, long time ago during what might be termed my 'stoner years', my favourite tracks being Zig Zag Wanderer and Autumn's Child.  Unfortunately I had to leave that fertile soil in order to 'earn a living'.  Such a shame when that happens.  I wonder what would ensue if we could all just not have to do that.  But that's a whole other conversation.

This song comes from the Safe as Milk era and I don't think I'd ever heard it before it cropped up on Youtube today, along with ads for funeral plans and stairlifts.

You're the measure of my dreams...the measure of my dreams...

Life's soundtrack. Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Wild God (Official Audio)

Love this.  The older I get the more I appreciate Nick Cave, who is even older than me by the way and still out there.
