Bright Eyes
Filed under: 
recently heard, repeatedly, the song “Bright Eyes“. I not only liked the song, I always liked the video. It’s relaxing except for one part.
Maybe one day we’ll buy rabbits.

Stevie Wonder in Manchester
Stevie Wonder coming here again
n Manchester and elsewhere, Stevie Wonder has new concerts coming up. We nearly went last year. My sister changed her mind at the end.
In my family, nearly everyone is a Stevie Wonder fan. Even my wife likes his music. I’ve asked my sister to invite us.
Stevie Wonder might not live for much longer. Based on video of his last performance here, he’s doing well, nowhere near rusty. But he is not getting younger, either.
Long Ago (And Far Away)
Simple, but still brilliant, still one of my favourites.
Erotica Is Not Music
reat music seems to come not from the present but from the past. This means that great musicians are “greying” and Richard Fenn seems to have virtually retired (in Australia) and the “new face of music” seems to be something like that:
What. The. Heck.
Sold out, so I guess this is what counts as “best” now (coming to Manchester in 2 days).
I want the old culture of music back. I want bands, instruments, and good voices. Not flesh. Flesh makes no music.
The new stuff is awful because the new standards are very low.
People In Love
People In Love, probably not easy to find anymore (rare).
hen musicians could play not just an instrument but several instruments and also had good vocals the melodies were more complex and therefore better, on average. Not dancing and “showing flash”.
Sounding the Same 50+ Years Later
When time has little effect
he incredible thing about 10cc is that these people still perform. They’ve performed since the 1960s (before 10cc was formed). They possess the same qualities: still the same skills on musical instruments and virtually the same voice (no smoking, one might assume). Less than a decade ago they sounded the same, as people in comments too point out.
I wish I can do the same in my 70s (hopefully 80s) as I did in my 20s.
