Wrecking Ball :heart_eyes:

Also, her new radio show on Apple Music 1 is great.

I heard the studio release of this on the radio yesterday and it sent me back to this, which is easily my favourite version.

Music starts at about 1:18 in

If you’ve been doing the Guardian quiz, you’ll know why I’m listening to this today.

Edit. Apparently you shouldn’t click this is you have photo-sensitive epilepsy. Otherwise, enjoy.

2012’s MMXII is one of my favourite, recent KJ albums. Deffo a later-career effort but the first half is outstanding.

EDIT: The 1987 12" version of ‘Sanity’ remains one of the life-tracks - I may even have the vinyl in a box somewhere. Brighter Than a Thousand Suns was class.

Well, that’s an unexpected treat for Boxing Day.

I was 15 when this was released. As I get older, I need the bright light of day and to be on a very even keel to listen to ‘A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers’

‘No time now for contrition
The time for that’s long past …’

Sadly, a band I never got to see play live.

I was lucky enough to see them as I’m older than a lot on this site. Think it was the Marquee Club.

Over the years I’ve heard countless versions of this traditional Irish song. I stumbled upon this earlier when I was searching for something else and this is exquisite.

The harmonies are divine. Superb simple arrangement, masterful accompaniment and great guitar tone. Just amazing.

Came across them while perusing for new music to listen to on Tidal. Really enjoy them, it’s especially a great listening experience if you have 360 Reality Audio compatible headphones…
