Music is ‘First and Last and Always’ ;)

I have been sharing my multifaceted musical  interests online, here since 2014 but I’ve always played music for others  I have some community radio DJ training & experience too, locally & in northern Ontario 
Streaming on SoundCloud is for my own personal entertainment  It feeds my obsession with new music while soothing my love of past favourites, covers & live versions    
A play on the story of my living.   A soundtrack to life, noted with the bridging of beats, rhythms & melodies. My Segway into being more me than merely words could ever achieve   

Thanks for following & enjoying this extensive ongoing long-play of repostings, in intended flow or shuffle, with my favourite artists   Artist albums are included in the likes   Also,  check out my mixed ‘ tapes’ of favourite artists, as they often get my personal old school Mixed Playlist attention ;) 

The radio was always on in my mother’s kitchen   I remember I started putting albums on my older sister’s turntable at about 7   However, I was surly listening to Jazz, Country & Classical from my Mum’s womb   By 11, I started borrowing classic albums from the library & bought my first album, Houses of the Holy by Led Zeppelin, in the summer of 1973   

Music is my connector, my heart’s language, my joy, my ‘main squeeze’.  Music is healing & has been my main mental health therapy provider   A connector & communicator of my existence & emotional expression, all the days of my life 

Sincerely, ( Psychedelic ) Rock & Roll X  Naomi

Blur as we know it was born in 1989 when the band signed to Food/EMI. Debut album Leisure (1991) announced the arrival of a band with pop suss warped by an art-punk eccentricity. Yet Blur had more in them: namely, a revolution in the sound of English popular music. Second album Modern Life Is Rubbish reintroduced the idea that English rock music could be cool, and by the time their third album Parklife emerged in 1994, the rest of the UK had caught up. 

The Great Escape (1995) refined the sound palette of Britpop, but Blur were already moving on. 1997's Blur was an about-face - scuffed and noisy and un-English. Follow-up 13 was an even a more radical adventure in sound as William Orbit refereed a truce between organic punkpop and new-fangled technology.

Seventh album Think Tank (2003) was Blur’s first as a three piece after the temporary departure of founding guitarist Graham Coxon, featuring an eclectic variety of rhythms and textures and glorious melodies. 

In 2009 Blur reconvened as a four-piece to play a series of UK shows including two sold out dates at Hyde Park and a historic Sunday night appearance at Glastonbury. A film about Blur, No Distance Left To Run, was released in 2010.

ANYTHING on this page i bet appeals to some large group of people somewhere, take a listen, take your time, its worth it.
