Spiritualized

I really like John - saw the Roses in 1995 - and I loved his two solo records, but I don’t think much to this record. Liam is a great singer, mind. Just Another Rainbow was really good, and the guitars were great and interesting, but that’s as far as it goes for me.

That's kind of got me thinking about key changes. Are they ever acceptable? Have they ever been done well, that is to say, so that you just about get away with it? Golden Lady by Stevie Wonder is a rare example. Send yours.

Yeah, it's really good, isn't it? Feels really vital and relevant, with something to say and joy to bring. Loved 'It's Over Now' when it was released as a single a while back.

Proving your point, my son loves it.

As I said, I actually found the Acoustic Mainline shows to be superb in terms of his voice, much smoother and little straining. so he was back on form by that time for me. Yeah. I remember Sitting on Fire - the opener - at Queen Elizabeth Hall at the South Bank - think it was billed as J Spaceman -...

I thought I could detect a disturbance in the force…

Seems like it directs to an admin login. Maybe it's just me.

The new Róisín Murphy. It's great. She's nailed it. Hit after hit.

Thanks for posting. I really enjoyed listening to it. I do like Stuart - R&M on weekend mornings on 6Music is part of my routine. I really like their show.

Any idea if the That London tickets are yet available or simply sold out? I've tried but says unavailable. Maybe I missed the boat/last helicopter. Damn.

It's been said before but it bears repeating: can't believe this didn't feature in, if not top, more end-of-year lists. It was in Iggy's on 6Music. I dunno, maybe my understanding of what's popular is fading along with my memory these days. I mean, I'm younger than the others in my pub quiz team, bu...

Hey friends Jason is on the Strombo show on Apple Music. Episode 444. Here’s a link: https://music.apple.com/gb/station/spiritualized/ra.1627372054 I think it requires an Apple Music subscription, but I may be wrong. Haven’t listened yet, as I’m waiting for a couple of beers to chill in the fridge i...

Really enjoyed tonight. Sound was huge, and I’d worried about that having read reviews of other nights on the tour. The new songs sounded great. Just really good to be back seeing live music after a tumultuous couple of years.

I’ll be at the show. Shazammed a few of the songs at the Manchester show last night. Nottingham tonight too. Anyone want to meet up for drinks before/after? The last time they played the roundhouse (2014?) there was a really fun night afterwards. Ordinarily I’d be up for that, but I’ve got my son -...

My tickets came through this morning.

Cheers. I’m guessing 2030 to 2230. Might have to give the encore a miss and duck out with my lad ahead of his SATs the following morning. Rock ‘n’ roll, eh?

Happy release day, friends.

Love the record. Laid In Your Arms in particular is just incredible.

Hey friends Anyone have a rough idea of stage times and whether there’s support? I’ve had tickets booked for ages and my son is due to come with me. I think he’s taken the ‘if you can’t beat em join em’ approach having listened to me playing Spiritualized since he was in the womb. But turns out it’s...

Love Mainline Song/Lockdown Song. I can hear a little of Hands Around My Throat by Death in Vegas in there. Also reminds me of that early Spielberg film, Duel, at the start. The truck! Love the track. So cathartic and energising. Roll on Roundhouse. Love the payoff at the end about calling once and ...

Happy New Year, friends.

Really like Crazy. The vocal is really tender. Reminds me of Life is a Problem and Anything More. And that’s a good thing. Love the melody of the middle 8. Didn’t see that coming.

Got tickets for that London. Decided to take my son - who is 11 - as he's expressed an interest and loved ANH. Seemed appropriate as Always Together with you actually (crash) landed on his birthday. Love the new track. I liked the version that came out as part of the Space Project a few years back, ...
