Song of the Day


Forever Young by Madness, from the new The Liberty of Norton Folgate album ...

When I met Kim, I was listening to a lot of Madness (and The Specials). We probably played their then-new 1979 One Step Beyond album daily for quite a while (and you can get a sense of that time by listening to the linked excerpts; highly recommended). Another vinyl treasure buried in my basement, sometimes resurrected so its wonderful cover art can adorn the living room wall.

Hard to believe that this Brit new wave ska band has been around for 30 years; I hadn't heard them for at least ten years until tonight. I understand this is their first album since 1999.
