That was a good one.

I was most surprised at how good the first 4 Kim Wilde albums were.

I think that we did Lena Lovich at 7pm and Viv at 8:30pm.

I think that that was best double bill evening I can recall.

I don't remember it.

That was a good album, wasn't it last year (2019) we did it?





Apparently not. My sense of time has gone this year. For some reason.

Of the albums we've done, so far, this year, I would say my favourite has been Gretchen Peters' Blackbirds.

Can anything displace it at the last moment?

Bronski Beat or Zoolook by Jean-Michel Jarre for me.

I've now gone through the list, and these are the other albums I remember liking this year.

Electric Light Orchestra - On the Third Day.

Shivaree - I Oughtta Give You a Shot in the Head for Making Me Live in This Dump.

The Motors - Approved by the Motors.

Voice of the Beehive - Honey Lingers.

ABC - The Lexicon of Love.

City Boy - Book Early.

Fuzzbox - Big Bang!

Kristin Hersh - Hips and Makers.

ELO - Discovery .

DMA's - Hills End.

Hot Chocolate - Every 1's a Winner.

Oh, yeah.

I'm going for the Low one. The one with all the grindy guitars and all that.

I've changed my mind, The Wickerman soundtrack one.

I have checked through the list and these are the albums that I remember most enjoying:

Fuzzbox - Bostin' Steve Austin.

The Cars - The Cars.

Jeannie C Riley - Harper Valley PTA.

Scissor Sisters - Ta-Dah!

Stereo MC's - Connected.

Aqua - Aquarium.

Slade - Old, New, Borrowed and Blue.

Human League - Dare.

I shall give my vote to the Stereo MC's' Connected.

You - also, I - differ, in opinion.

I'm voting Pros & Cons again.

Well, I didn't see that one coming.

Spoiler:

I've taken a look back.

We did ten pages worth of albums, last year.

I'm not sure I remember any of them.

I'm looking at the albums we did in January.

The ones I can remember, I can't believe we did them so long ago.
